Our technicians run detailed WDI inspections and book them on short notice so your transaction keeps rolling.

Given the damp ground and aged wood beneath most properties in this area, termites and other wood-destroyers are a genuine worry, which is why so many lenders request a WDI report. Alongside subterranean termites, an inspector watches for powderpost beetles, old house borers, and the wood fungus that erodes framing without warning. Aging houses near Colonial Williamsburg and tree-covered lots out in Ford's Colony are exactly where these findings tend to surface. Uncovering them ahead of closing spares both buyer and seller an unpleasant surprise.
Our inspection covers the foundation, the crawl space, and every reachable piece of wood for current activity and old damage, all written up in a plain WDI report. With a closing date bearing down, we get on the calendar quickly and turn the paperwork around fast so the financing does not stall. More than 26 years of inspecting local homes tells us where Williamsburg's wood-destroyers like to hide.

| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday.

| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.

Free inspections, plus same-day and next-day service. | Most pest control companies Retreatment terms, callback windows, and what counts as covered differ from contract to contract. |
