WDIR Inspections

What is a WDIR?
Commonly called a "Termite Letter/Certificate", WDIR is an acronym for "Wood Destroying Insect Report". It is a legal document required by most lenders before closing the sale or refinance of a property. It is a visual inspection of the property to identify any wood destroying insects present at the time of inspection. Such insects include wood destroying beetles, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, dry wood termites in addition to the native subterranean and formosan termites commonly found in the south. This report is NOT a structural report. All wood destroying findings at the time of the WDIR inspection will be documented, such as but not limited to: termite wings, damage caused by wood destroying insects, termite fecal matter, termite bodies. termite swarmers, and any live activity.
 
When do I need it?
Typically this report is required by a lender prior to the sale or refinance of a piece of real estate property. A WDIR is valid for 90 days but most lending institutions only honor them for 30 days. Blue Star Pest Control recommends requesting this document once a closing date for the sale of the property has been set. We also recommend that the WDIR inspection be done 7 to 14 days before the set closing date, in the event there is an issue that needs to be addressed stemming from the WDIR inspection. Blue Star Pest Control reserves the right not to issue a WDIR in the event that the property is not able to be inspected properly or for any other legal concerns.

How much does a WDIR cost?
The following rates are determined by the foundation of the structure:
Monolithic Slab  -  $175
Floating Slab  -  $250
Supporting Slab  -  $250
Crawl Structure  -  $250
There is a required $12 State Fee that has been included in the charge. Blue Star Pest Control offers a 10% discount on any initial termite treatment performed if required based on the WDIR with 30 days of the inspection.
