“We were buying a 1972 home near El Lago and needed a WDO report in three days to satisfy our lender. David came out the next morning, inspected everything including the pier-and-beam crawlspace, and had our written report the following day. He found evidence of past drywood activity in one rafter — treated it right away with the inspection fee applied. Saved us from a separate service call.”

What Clear Lake Buyers and Sellers Say About Our Inspections
Fast WDO Reports Inspection Fee Credited 20+ Years Experience
“We listed our waterfront home and the buyer's inspector flagged possible termite activity under the deck. We brought David in for a full WDO assessment before things escalated. He gave a clear, honest report, confirmed limited activity in one area, and treated it the same week. The deal closed without issues. Highly recommend for anyone selling a Clear Lake home.”
“I've lived in my 1968 home for 12 years and never had a professional termite inspection. David found minor subterranean activity along the rear foundation — nothing severe but definitely something to address. The inspection cost was credited toward the barrier treatment we booked the same day. Very glad I finally called.”
What Our Clear Lake Termite Inspection Covers
A thorough assessment appropriate for NASA-era construction, waterfront properties, and lender-required WDO documentation.
Main Structure Inspection
Full interior and exterior inspection of all accessible wood-containing areas — window frames, door frames, baseboards, exposed framing, and interior walls where termite activity may be visible or detectable by probing.
Pier-and-Beam Crawlspace Assessment
Many Clear Lake homes built near the lake have pier-and-beam foundations with accessible crawlspaces. David inspects joists, beams, perimeter sills, and soil-to-wood contact points where subterranean termite access is most direct.
Attic Framing and Rafter Inspection
Original 1960s and 1970s attic framing is the primary target for drywood termites in Clear Lake. Inspection covers accessible rafters, ridge beams, collar ties, and attic floor framing for galleries, frass deposits, and entry holes.
Foundation Perimeter and Slab Edges
Subterranean termites build mud tubes along foundation walls and slab edges. David inspects all accessible perimeter areas including attached garage slabs, patios, and porch foundations where foraging is frequently first detected.
Exterior Structures and Wood Features
Inspection includes fences, wood decks, dock framing, pergolas, and any wood structures attached to or adjacent to the main house — common entry points in Clear Lake waterfront properties.
Written WDO Report
A written report documenting all findings, areas inspected, any evidence of active or past termite activity, and recommended treatment. Formatted to satisfy Harris County lender and escrow requirements for real estate transactions.

Case Study
Clear Lake: Inspection Uncovers Dual-Species Activity Before a Competitive-Market Closing
The Problem
A buyer under contract on a 1965 Clear Lake pier-and-beam home needed a WDO report within 72 hours to satisfy their lender's pre-closing checklist. The sellers believed the home was termite-free based on a previous inspection from five years prior. Significant rainfall in the weeks before the closing had saturated the lot.
Our Solution
David inspected the following morning. He found active subterranean mud tubes along two crawlspace joists and evidence of a small drywood colony in an attic soffit rafter. Both findings were documented in the written WDO report delivered within 24 hours. Treatment options were discussed the same day, and both the crawlspace and attic were treated within 48 hours.
The Outcome
The written clearance addendum was submitted to the lender within the required window and the closing proceeded on schedule. The buyers credited the inspection fee toward the combination treatment package. Post-treatment follow-up at 30 days showed no new activity in either location.
Termite Inspection FAQs — Clear Lake, TX
Why do Clear Lake real estate transactions often require a WDO inspection?
Most lenders require a current WDO report as a condition of financing, particularly for older properties in high-moisture areas. Clear Lake's NASA-era homes and waterfront proximity put them in a higher-risk category. WDO inspections protect both buyers and lenders from undisclosed termite damage that could affect the home's structural value.
How long does a termite inspection take in Clear Lake?
A standard inspection of a Clear Lake home takes one to two hours, depending on the property size and foundation type. Pier-and-beam homes with accessible crawlspaces typically take slightly longer due to the additional inspection areas involved.
Can I schedule an inspection on short notice for a real estate closing?
Yes. David prioritizes closings and can often schedule within 24 to 48 hours, including same-day inspections for urgent deadlines. Call (832) 519-6650 directly to check availability — no hold queues or scheduling systems.
What happens if the inspection finds active termite activity?
David discusses the findings immediately and presents treatment options. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment you book. Treatment can often be scheduled within the same week, with written documentation provided to the lender as part of the closing package.
Is a previous termite inspection still valid for my Clear Lake home?
Most lenders require a WDO inspection dated within 30 to 90 days of closing. An older inspection — especially one more than a year old — is typically not accepted. Given Clear Lake's storm-driven termite activation patterns, even a clean inspection from a year ago may no longer reflect current conditions.
Do you inspect dock structures and exterior wood on waterfront properties?
Yes. Dock framing, wood decks, pergolas, and exterior wood features adjacent to the main structure are included in the inspection for Clear Lake waterfront properties. These areas are frequent first-entry points for both drywood and subterranean termites due to weathering and moisture exposure.
