David came out within 24 hours, found what he described as minor drywood evidence in a window frame, and had our report ready two days later. He explained clearly what was found and what our options were. The inspection fee went toward the treatment and our closing went smoothly.”

What Our Cypress Termite Inspections Cover
A thorough WDO inspection that satisfies lender requirements and gives you real information about your Cypress property.
Foundation and Slab Perimeter
The most common termite entry point in Cypress slab homes is the slab edge — particularly where mulch beds, irrigation heads, or expansion joints create gaps in the soil barrier. David inspects every accessible section of the foundation perimeter.
Garage Slab and Interior Joints
Attached garages are a high-risk termite entry zone in Cypress. Slab expansion joints, garage door thresholds, and the wall-slab joint along the interior perimeter are all inspected for mud tube activity and frass.
Attic Framing and Roof Deck
Drywood termites target attic framing in Cypress homes, particularly in homes that have had roof repairs or venting modifications that exposed raw lumber. David inspects accessible attic space for frass, galleries, and damaged wood.
Plumbing Penetrations
Under-slab plumbing penetrations are a common subterranean termite entry point when the soil seal at the penetration site was incomplete or has degraded over time. David checks all accessible plumbing access areas during inspection.
Exterior Wood Members
Fascia boards, window and door frames, deck ledgers, and wood fencing attached to the structure are all inspected for drywood termite damage, moisture damage, and wood-to-soil contact that creates infestation risk.
Written WDO Report
Every inspection results in a written WDO report formatted to satisfy Texas real estate transaction lender requirements. The report identifies findings, their location, and recommended action — delivered promptly so your Cypress closing stays on track.

Case Study
Cypress: WDO Inspection Uncovers Hidden Entry Point in Newer Bridgeland Home
The Problem
A family purchasing a seven-year-old home in Bridgeland requested a WDO inspection as part of their lender requirements. The sellers had no knowledge of termite activity and the home had recently been painted, which had concealed mud tube evidence along a section of the garage interior wall. The inspection uncovered a subterranean colony using a plumbing penetration beneath the laundry room as its primary entry point — an area that had never been pre-treated.
Our Solution
David identified the laundry room penetration as the entry point and found secondary foraging activity along 12 feet of the adjacent garage slab-wall joint. A targeted liquid termiticide treatment was applied at the penetration site and along the full interior garage slab edge. The treatment was completed three days before the option period expired, allowing the buyers to proceed with confidence.
The Outcome
The WDO clearance letter was issued the day treatment was completed. Both parties agreed to include annual monitoring in the seller concessions. A 30-day post-treatment inspection showed no new foraging activity at either location. The buyers moved in on their original scheduled closing date.
Termite Inspection FAQs for Cypress, TX
How much does a termite inspection cost in Cypress?
Our WDO inspection fee is $175. If active termite activity is found during the inspection, that $175 is credited in full toward treatment. You pay for the inspection once — not twice.
Why do I need a termite inspection on a newer Cypress home?
New construction in Cypress does not guarantee termite protection. Homes built on former agricultural land in Harris County are exposed to established subterranean colonies in the clay soil. Soil pre-treatment at rough-in doesn't always cover every slab penetration, and post-move-in landscaping frequently creates new entry pathways within the first few years.
How quickly can I get a WDO report for my Cypress closing?
David typically schedules inspections within 1 to 2 business days and delivers written reports promptly after the inspection. For urgent closing deadlines, call (832) 519-6650 directly and tell David your option period expiration or lender deadline — he'll prioritize accordingly.
What does a WDO inspection actually cover?
A Texas WDO inspection covers termites, wood-destroying beetles, wood-destroying fungi, and any conditions likely to lead to infestation. David inspects all visible and accessible areas of the structure including the foundation perimeter, garage, attic, plumbing access points, and exterior wood members.
Do Cypress lenders accept your WDO report format?
Yes. Our WDO reports are formatted to meet Texas real estate transaction requirements and are accepted by lenders in Cypress and throughout Harris County. If your lender or title company has a specific format request, contact us and we'll confirm compatibility before scheduling.
What if the inspection finds termite damage but the seller disputes it?
David documents all findings with written descriptions and photographs. The WDO report is the official record used in the transaction. We can speak with agents, lenders, or attorneys to clarify inspection findings if needed — David stands behind every report he produces.
