“Our lender required a WDO report within five days of closing. David came out the next morning, inspected the 1970s home thoroughly, and delivered the report in 48 hours. He found minor evidence in the garage windowsill and treated it the same week. The fee went toward treatment and we closed on time. That's exactly what you need in Bellaire's market.”

“We were selling our original Bellaire home and needed to know what we were dealing with before listing.

What a Bellaire WDO Inspection Covers
A thorough, licensed inspection that satisfies lender requirements and gives you actionable information about your property.
Foundation and Slab Perimeter
Full inspection of the foundation edge, slab-wall joints, and visible concrete for termite mud tubes, frass, and moisture entry points — the most common entry zone for subterranean termites in Bellaire.
Attic and Roof Framing
Inspection of accessible attic framing for drywood termite pellets, galleries, and damaged wood — particularly important in original 1950s and 1960s Bellaire homes where old-growth lumber is still in place.
Garage and Attached Structures
Garage slab edges, door frames, and any attached wooden structures are inspected for both subterranean mud tube activity and drywood termite evidence — often the first place activity appears.
Interior Plumbing and Utility Areas
Kitchen cabinets under the sink, bathroom vanity bases, and utility room walls near plumbing penetrations are checked — moisture-affected wood is a primary harborage area for both termite species.
Exterior Wood and Window Frames
Windowsills, door frames, fascia boards, and any exposed wood on the exterior are inspected for drywood termite exit holes, frass deposits, and swarmer wing accumulations.
Written Report and Documentation
A licensed WDO report is issued following the inspection — formatted to satisfy requirements for conventional, FHA, and VA mortgage lenders. Copies are available for buyers, sellers, and their agents.

Case Study
Bellaire: Pre-Listing Inspection Catches Hidden Activity Before It Becomes a Deal-Breaker
The Problem
A Bellaire homeowner preparing to list their 1958 ranch home scheduled a pre-listing WDO inspection to understand the property's condition before buyers brought in their own inspector. The home had no prior termite treatment history. David's inspection found active subterranean termite activity along the rear foundation and old drywood termite galleries in the attic above the master bedroom.
Our Solution
David provided a clear written assessment of both issues. A liquid barrier treatment was applied to the rear foundation the following week. Drywood termite spot treatment was completed in the attic. Both treatment reports were available before the home was listed on the MLS.
The Outcome
The listing proceeded with full pest disclosure and treatment documentation — a significant competitive advantage in Bellaire's scrutinized market. The buyer's WDO inspection came back clean and the sale closed without the termite-related delays that often derail Bellaire real estate transactions.
WDO Inspection FAQs for Bellaire, TX
Do I need a WDO inspection to buy or sell a home in Bellaire?
Most mortgage lenders — including conventional, FHA, and VA loan programs — require a current WDO inspection report as part of the loan underwriting process. Even in cash transactions, buyers increasingly request WDO reports given Bellaire's known termite pressure and active construction environment.
How much does a termite inspection cost in Bellaire?
Our WDO inspection fee is $175, which is credited in full toward any treatment you book after the inspection. There is no additional charge for the written report or for findings discussion on-site.
How long does a WDO inspection take?
Most Bellaire home inspections take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the size of the home, number of attached structures, and accessibility of the attic and crawlspace areas.
What does a WDO report include?
The report documents any visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms — including termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decay fungi — found during the inspection. It identifies the location of activity, the likely organism involved, and a description of the evidence observed. The report is signed by a licensed inspector.
What if no termite activity is found?
If no evidence of wood-destroying organisms is found, a clear WDO report is issued. The $175 inspection fee still applies regardless of findings — this is standard for licensed WDO inspections.
Can you inspect my Bellaire home the same day I call?
David often accommodates same-day or next-morning inspections for urgent real estate timelines. Call (832) 519-6650 directly — David will tell you honestly when he can be there and what to expect.
