Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WDO/WDI inspection, and why is it required for real estate closings?
A Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) or Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection, often called a WDIR or simply a termite letter, is the official report a lender or purchase contract requires before closing on a home. VA loans require one as a matter of course, and FHA and conventional lenders frequently ask for one depending on the property and the terms of the contract, so it is worth confirming early which applies to your deal. The inspection documents visible evidence of active or previous termites, powderpost beetles, carpenter ants, and wood-decaying fungi. Universal Pest & Termite delivers official, lender-ready closing reports, and we include pictures and video on every inspection so buyers, sellers, and agents can see exactly what was found.
Keep Your Closing on Schedule

Book Your Real Estate InspectionHow fast can you complete the inspection and deliver the official report?
Real estate transactions move fast, and inspection delays can jeopardize a closing date. That's why inspections can occur same-day or next business day. Once the walkthrough is complete, our technicians compile the official documentation along with the supporting photo and video evidence, getting the completed report into your hands (and your closing agent's hands) without delay.

Claim Your Same-Day / Next-Day SlotWhat happens if termites or moisture damage are found during the home inspection?
Discovering termites or wood decay during escrow doesn't have to derail the sale. Because speed is critical when closing deadlines are looming, if termites are found, we can treat as soon as the next day in most cases. We provide rapid-response treatments, official clearance letters, and documentation so the transaction stays on track without missing closing dates.

Request Immediate Treatment & ClearanceWho pays for the termite inspection and any required treatments, and can costs be financed?
Responsibility for inspection and treatment costs is typically negotiated in the purchase agreement between the buyer and seller (though certain loans, like VA loans, have specific rules regarding seller obligations). In practice, Virginia sellers often end up covering the inspection and any clearance treatment, but it comes down to what the contract says. We work with closing officers routinely and can bill at the settlement table rather than asking either party to pay out of pocket beforehand. If unexpected treatment or moisture repairs are needed to clear the letter, SmartPay financing is available to qualified homeowners so the work can start immediately without draining cash reserves before closing.
Flexible Payment Options

Apply for SmartPay & Book InspectionDo you inspect for wood-decay fungi and moisture damage during a real estate inspection?
Yes. The report covers more than insects, because in this climate moisture is usually the underlying story. Along with wood-destroying insects we document elevated wood moisture readings, active wood-decay fungi, and visible structural damage to floor joists, sills, and subflooring. That matters at closing: a buyer who knows the crawl space has a moisture problem can negotiate for it, and a seller who knows in advance can address it before it derails the deal. Photos and video accompany the findings so nobody has to take the description on faith.
