WDO Inspection

3-D Building Inspections works with several state licensed Wood Destroying Organism Inspectors to be able to offer the WDO inspections at the time of the home inspection. A WDO inspection report is provided when a home or other structure is being sold and the mortgage lender or buyer requires the inspection as part of the transaction. IF the inspection is done for these purposes, the inspection must be reported on a specific report form as required by Florida Law. (Chapter 482, Florida Statutes). The form is sometimes called the "1145 report" because of the old form number. A WDO report is also commonly called a "Termite Inspection", "Clearance Letter" or "Termite Letter".

The WDO inspection can only be done by a wood-destroying organisms identification cardholder (or certified operator with the wood destroying organisms category) of a pest control company licensed by the state of Florida. These employees must receive special training to be qualified as WDO inspectors.

A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection Report is a written report of an inspection on a home for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms. Usually this means subterranean or drywood termites, but will also cover wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi.

In Florida, carpenter ants and carpenter bees DO NOT have to be reported.

A WDO report tells the buyer if the pest control inspector saw any evidence of the following:

    Live Termites or other wood destroying organisms
    Evidence of infestation by termites or other wood destroying organisms including wood destroying fungi
    Damage by termites or other wood destroying organisms
    Previous treatment for termites or other wood destroying orgamisms
