Clear WDI Findings for Austin Property Decisions

A wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection visually examines accessible areas for active insects, evidence of previous activity, and conditions that may support an infestation. It gives Austin homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real-estate professionals a clearer picture of a property’s visible condition.

Findings may be documented in a Wood Destroying Insect Report (WDIR), including the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report when applicable. Unlike a standard home inspection, this service focuses on reportable wood-destroying insects, which may include subterranean termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles.

Call (512) 812-9311 to discuss your WDI inspection in Austin and what information you need for your property or real-estate transaction.

What the Texas Official WDI Report Documents

A Texas WDI report records visible conditions observed in accessible parts of a structure on the inspection date. Under Texas rules, the official report is completed by a certified applicator or technician licensed in the termite control category.

The report may document:

Inspection Scope: The structures examined, along with accessible, obstructed, and inaccessible areas.
Active Infestation: Specified wood-destroying insects found during the inspection.
Previous Infestation: Evidence of earlier activity when no current activity was identified.
Prior Treatment: Visible signs that treatment may have occurred.
Conducive Conditions: Conditions that may support infestation, such as excessive moisture or wood-to-ground contact.

Where Inspectors Look & What They Can See

Accessible areas may include the foundation or slab perimeter, window and door frames, baseboards, flooring, plumbing areas, porches, and crawl spaces. Support piers, floor joists, sill plates at the base of walls, and weep holes in brickwork may also be examined when accessible.

Visible indicators may include:

Termite shelter tubes along foundations, walls, or structural components.
Frass, meaning insect waste and debris, near wood or exit holes.
Wood damage or other evidence of current or previous insect activity.
Excessive moisture, wood debris, or wood touching the soil.
Slab cracks, obstructed weep holes, or insufficient crawl-space clearance.

The visual examination doesn’t extend behind walls, beneath fixed flooring, or into concealed or obstructed spaces. Infestation or damage in those areas may remain undiscovered.

Using WDI Findings to Make Property Decisions

A WDI report reflects observations made on a specific inspection date. Buyers and sellers can consider those findings during a real-estate transaction, while homeowners may use them to decide whether further evaluation, preventive action, treatment, or repairs should be considered.

The inspection and report aren’t pest treatment, and they don’t repair damaged wood. They also can’t confirm that insects are absent from concealed or inaccessible parts of the property.

WDI Inspection vs. Home Inspection

A standard home inspection evaluates the broader condition of a property’s visible systems and components. A WDI inspection focuses specifically on wood-destroying insects, evidence of their activity, and conducive conditions. Buyers and sellers should confirm whether their transaction calls for a separate Wood Destroying Insect Report.

Evidence of Previous Treatment

Drill marks, treatment stickers, or other visible indicators may suggest that prior treatment occurred. That observation alone doesn’t establish what work was performed or whether it was complete or successful.

How to Read Common WDI Report Terms

Each term in a WDIR describes a different property condition. Read these findings alongside the report’s stated limitations to understand what was observed and which areas couldn’t be examined.

Active Infestation
Specified wood-destroying insects were found in or on the inspected structure at the time of inspection.

Previous Infestation
Evidence of an earlier infestation was observed, but current activity wasn’t identified in the accessible area during the inspection.

Conducive Conditions
Visible conditions may support insect activity. Examples include moisture, wood-to-ground contact, wood debris, and structural access points. A conducive condition doesn’t prove that an infestation is present.

Inaccessible Areas
Obstructions, construction features, stored belongings, or safety limitations prevented visual examination. The report’s conclusions don’t extend to concealed or inaccessible conditions.

James G.
He is so thorough and knowledgeable.
Love the tech. He is so thorough and knowledgeable. Have not seen any traces of mice inside my residence since he set traps and patiently sealed all their entrances and living a rural area is a real challenge. The mice were everywhere, even in my bed while I slept!!! And THE KITCHEN too. Totally disgusting.
