A W.D.I.R, which is many times referred to as a Termite Certificate, is an inspection performed by a licensed pest professional for any indication of wood destroying insects that may have caused damages or affected the integrity of the structure. Wood destroying insects also include powder post beetles, wood boring insects and carpenter ants.
The information obtained in the WDIR is a formal and legal means to petition the seller concerning treatments or repairs needed before the property is purchased. Many financial institutions require a W.D.I.R as part of the financing process. Without a W.D.I.R by a licensed Pest control professional, any future damages, treatment or repairs needed due to wood destroying insects, will be the sole responsibility of the buyer.
The WDIR is a visual inspection that will look for evidence of past or present wood destroying activity. All easily accessible areas will be inspected paying particular attention to susceptible areas and structural points of the property. All permanently attached structures are inspected including porches and/or decks. Inaccessible areas and detached buildings or structures are not included or may incur additional fees. Pull down stair attic access only will be evaluated. Please note that a WDIR will never act as a warranty or guarantee of the absence of these insects.

" Alex Mescia was SOOO amazing! We are first time homebuyers so you can understand the stress of this entire process; but I can genuinely say that the inspection part was the easiest of it all. Everything went seamlessly, Alex Mescia came on very short notice and took care of the whole thing while we were out of town. Then he provided us with a very comprehensive report with pictures which made it so so easy for us. I highly HIGHLY recommend little creek home inspections! "

" Alex Mesciahas made purchasing our new home incredibly easier. Not only did he identify ever major issue that needed to be repaired he showed me everything that he was talking about and took pictures with detailed explanations for our seller to understand what repairs need to be made. Without his willingness to inspect every inch of our potential home in the rain we would have purchased this home not knowing all of the major fixes needed. He spent 6 hours making sure that there were literally no stone left untouched. Grateful to have Little Creek on our team to help protect my future investment and make sure my family lives in a safe and fully functioning home.
You need them to inspect your next home. "

" Alex Mescia has been great to work with from start to finish. His inspection was easy to read and very detailed. He was available to come on short notice and spent an ample amount of time examining the property we are purchasing. His recommendations were solid and he has been available to reach to answer and explain any lingering questions. "
