“We were buying a 1958 home in Pasadena and the seller's disclosure didn't mention any prior termite treatment. David came out the same day I called, did a thorough inspection of the attic framing and the entire foundation perimeter, and had a written WDO report to our lender in two days. He found some old damage but no active infestation — gave us exactly what we needed to move forward with confidence.”

Pasadena Homeowners on Resolve Termite Inspections
WDO Fast Turnaround Honest Assessment Owner-Operated
“After flooding hit our street last fall, I wanted a termite inspection about six weeks later. David came out, looked at the drainage-side of the foundation specifically, and found early mud tube activity along the back slab where the water had stood the longest. Caught it early and treated it the same week. Without that inspection I'd have found out about it the hard way.”
“I called three companies for a WDO inspection before refinancing our Pasadena home. The other two were trying to book us two weeks out. David came out the next morning and delivered the report in 48 hours. No activity found, report satisfied our lender, and the refinance closed on time. Exactly what I needed without any hassle.”
What a Resolve Termite Inspection Covers in Pasadena
A complete property assessment — not a liability-minimum walkthrough — built for Pasadena's specific risk profile.
Full Foundation Perimeter Assessment
Every accessible inch of the foundation slab edge is examined for mud tubes, moisture damage, and signs of active subterranean foraging. Particular attention to drainage-adjacent sides of the foundation where post-flood activity is most likely to appear first.
Attic and Framing Inspection
Original 1950s–1970s attic framing is a primary target for drywood termites. David inspects accessible attic space for pellet deposits, gallery damage, and active colony evidence in rafters, joists, and window framing.
Interior Inspection
Interior inspection covers utility rooms, kitchen base cabinets, baseboards, door frames, and any wood-on-concrete contact points — common entry zones for subterranean termites in Pasadena's slab-on-grade construction.
Garage and Attached Structures
Garages and attached covered patios are frequent termite entry zones that homeowners often overlook. David inspects garage slab joints, wall framing, and any attached woodwork for signs of colony activity.
Post-Flood Focused Assessment
For properties that experienced standing water in the past 3 to 4 months, David applies a focused inspection protocol targeting soil-adjacent slab areas and drainage-side foundations where colony displacement and accelerated foraging are most common.
Written WDO Report
A written wood-destroying organism report documents all findings, treatment recommendations, and inspection scope in lender-accepted format. Delivered quickly to avoid delays in real estate transactions, refinancing, or insurance underwriting.

Case Study
Pasadena: Pre-Sale Inspection Uncovers Hidden Subterranean Activity
The Problem
A Pasadena homeowner preparing to list their 1971 ranch home requested a WDO inspection before putting the property on the market. The home had no visible pest issues and the owners had never had a termite inspection. David found active subterranean mud tubes inside a closet on the exterior wall adjacent to a raised planting bed — a location that had retained moisture against the foundation for years.
Our Solution
David treated the affected zone with a targeted liquid termiticide application and removed the exterior planting bed contact with the foundation. The treatment was completed in under a day and documentation was prepared for disclosure to buyers. A follow-up inspection was completed before listing.
The Outcome
The property listed with a clear post-treatment WDO report and sold without any pest-related holdups during the buyer's due diligence period. The buyers received the treatment documentation and opted to enroll in annual monitoring as a condition of their purchase agreement.
Termite Inspection FAQs for Pasadena, TX
When do I need a termite inspection in Pasadena?
The most common triggers are real estate transactions (required by most lenders), refinancing, recent flooding events, and visible warning signs like swarmer wings, mud tubes, or unexplained wood damage. For homes built before 1980, a routine inspection every 2 to 3 years is also a reasonable baseline given Pasadena's persistent termite pressure.
How long does a termite inspection take?
Most Pasadena inspections take 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the size of the home, accessibility of the attic and crawlspace, and the number of attached structures. David does not rush — a thorough inspection takes the time it takes.
What happens if termites are found during the inspection?
David explains what was found, where, and what it indicates about the colony's age and activity level. He then recommends treatment options appropriate for the species and infestation stage. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment you book — so the inspection costs nothing net if treatment is needed.
Will a termite inspection detect both subterranean and drywood termites?
Yes. David's inspection protocol looks for evidence of both species: mud tubes and soil-contact activity for subterranean termites, and pellet deposits, gallery damage, and swarmer wings for drywood termites. Pasadena homes frequently carry pressure from both species simultaneously, particularly in older housing stock.
Do lenders accept your WDO reports?
Yes. Resolve WDO reports are written in the standard format required by most mortgage lenders, including FHA and conventional loan programs. If your lender has a specific form requirement, let David know when scheduling and he will confirm compatibility before the inspection.
How soon after a flood should I schedule a termite inspection?
The optimal window is 4 to 8 weeks after significant flooding. Post-flood termite activity typically becomes visible in that timeframe. David applies focused inspection protocols in drainage-adjacent and soil-saturated areas of the property when scheduling a post-flood assessment.
