“We were selling our 1974 ranch home and needed a WDO report before closing. David inspected the next morning and had the report ready within two days. He found active activity under the back porch steps and treated it immediately. Our closing stayed on schedule and the buyer was satisfied. Professional and thorough.”

Deer Park Homeowners Recommend Resolve for Termite Inspections
Fast WDO Reports Post-Flood Expertise Owner-Operated
“We bought a post-Harvey repaired home in Deer Park and had David do a thorough inspection before we committed. He found evidence of past termite activity that had been repaired but not treated, and current low-level foraging along the slab. That finding saved us from a much bigger problem down the road. Worth every dollar.”
“I scheduled a proactive inspection just to know the status of our older home. David spent over an hour on the property, checked the attic framing, every foundation corner, and even the wooden fence posts. His report was detailed and easy to understand. No high-pressure treatment push — just honest findings and options.”
What a Resolve Termite Inspection Covers in Deer Park
A thorough assessment of every area where termite activity is likely in Deer Park's established homes.
Foundation and Slab Perimeter
Full inspection of the foundation perimeter, slab edges, and slab-wall joints where subterranean termites enter from the soil. Deer Park's clay-soil moisture conditions make slab-edge foraging one of the most common entry points.
Garage and Attached Structures
Garage slab, door frames, and the wall shared between the garage and living space are common termite access zones — especially in 1960s and 1970s Deer Park homes where garage-to-living transitions were not built with moisture barriers.
Attic Framing and Roof Structure
Drywood termites target original attic framing in older Deer Park homes. David inspects the accessible attic for damage, frass, and active galleries in rafters, trusses, and sheathing.
Post-Flood Repair Zones
Specific inspection of areas that received post-Harvey drywall, flooring, or framing repairs — looking for concealed termite activity that may have been sealed inside without prior treatment.
Exterior Wood and Landscaping
Wood fence posts, deck framing, wood mulch beds, and tree stumps near the foundation are inspected for subterranean foraging and drywood infestation. Mature tree stumps adjacent to Deer Park foundations are a frequent termite bridge.
Written WDO Report
A complete written wood-destroying organism report documenting all findings, affected areas, and recommended next steps. Meets lender requirements for real estate transactions and serves as a baseline for future re-inspections.

Case Study
Deer Park: Pre-Purchase Inspection Reveals Concealed Post-Flood Activity
The Problem
A buyer under contract on a 1969 Deer Park brick ranch home hired David for a pre-purchase termite inspection. The home had been substantially repaired after Harvey, with new flooring, drywall, and base trim throughout the rear half of the structure. The seller's disclosure noted past flooding but no pest treatment. David targeted the post-repair zones specifically during his inspection.
Our Solution
Probing along the slab-wall joint in the rear hallway revealed hollow sound consistent with active subterranean termite galleries beneath the new flooring. David used a moisture meter to confirm elevated readings along the slab edge in the same area. The written WDO report documented the active findings with photographs and recommended immediate treatment before the purchase closed.
The Outcome
The buyer used the inspection report to negotiate a seller-paid termite treatment before closing. David applied the liquid barrier treatment and issued a clearance letter within the inspection contingency period. The buyer proceeded with the purchase with full knowledge of the home's pest history and an active monitoring plan in place from day one of ownership.
Termite Inspection FAQs for Deer Park, TX
How often should Deer Park homeowners get a termite inspection?
Annual inspections are recommended for most Deer Park homes given the area's year-round subterranean termite activity in clay soil. Homes that experienced Harvey flooding, post-flood repairs, or have bayou-adjacent drainage lots should prioritize immediate inspection if one has not been done since 2017.
What does a WDO report include?
A WDO report documents all visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms including subterranean and drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay. It identifies affected areas, distinguishes between past and active infestation evidence, and recommends corrective action. Reports meet lender requirements for real estate transactions in Texas.
Can a termite inspection detect activity inside repaired walls?
A surface inspection cannot see inside sealed wall cavities. However, David uses probing, moisture meters, and knowledge of typical post-flood repair patterns to identify likely concealed activity zones. Elevated moisture readings, hollow wall sounds, and exterior mud tube evidence near repaired areas are all evaluated during the inspection.
Is a termite inspection required to sell my home in Deer Park?
Texas law does not mandate a termite inspection for every sale, but most buyers' lenders require a current WDO report. In Deer Park's housing market, buyers are increasingly requesting termite inspections given the area's flood history and older housing stock. A clean inspection report strengthens your listing.
How much does a termite inspection cost in Deer Park?
Contact David at (832) 519-6650 for current pricing. The inspection fee is credited toward treatment costs if active activity is found and you choose to proceed with treatment — making the inspection a low-risk investment for Deer Park homeowners.
How quickly can I get a report after the inspection?
David delivers written WDO reports promptly after the inspection — typically within 24 to 48 hours. For time-sensitive real estate transactions, let David know your closing deadline when you schedule and he will prioritize report delivery accordingly.
