Des Moines Real Estate Inspections

If you’re buying, selling, or refinancing a home in Des Moines, you may need a wood destroying insect (WDI) inspection. This inspection is often required by lenders before a real estate transaction can be completed. WE provide these real estate inspections in Des Moines for our customers.

A WDI inspection involves a visual inspection of a structure’s accessible areas for signs of any wood-destroying insects. These destructive insects include termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees. If the inspector discovers any signs f these insects, they will note their findings on a WDI report.

The WDI report will reflect the property’s condition at the time of the inspection. It will indicate whether or not the inspector detected signs of wood-destroying insects. In cases where signs are detected, the report will detail the exact location. It will also state if treatment is recommended for the structure.

Every home is unique, so the charge for this service varies. The size of the home and the degree of difficulty involved with the inspection are factors that must be considered.
