Case Study
Pre-Purchase Inspection Uncovered Hidden Termite Damage on a River Oaks Sale
The Problem
A buyer under contract on a 1948 River Oaks Georgian-style home requested a WDO inspection as part of due diligence. The listing had no prior pest control disclosure, and the seller's agent indicated the home had been recently renovated.
Our Solution
David conducted a thorough inspection covering the full foundation perimeter, attic, and all soil contact zones. He discovered old termite damage at the rear foundation sill plate — damage that had been cosmetically covered during the renovation but not structurally repaired. Detailed photographs and a written WDO report were provided to the buyer and their real estate attorney the same afternoon.
The Outcome
The buyer used the report to negotiate a $40,000 price reduction and required the seller to fund professional remediation before closing. The inspection fee of $175 delivered significant financial protection on a multi-million dollar transaction.
Termite Inspection FAQs for River Oaks Buyers and Homeowners
How much does a termite inspection cost in River Oaks?
Our WDO inspection fee is $175. That fee is credited in full toward any treatment you choose to move forward with. Given the property values in River Oaks and the age of most homes, it is one of the most cost-effective investments a buyer or homeowner can make.
How quickly can I get a termite inspection for a real estate transaction?
We offer same-day and next-day scheduling for real estate inspections. We understand that River Oaks transactions move quickly and that closing timelines can be tight. Call us directly for fastest scheduling.
What does a WDO inspection cover that a general home inspection doesn't?
A Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection is performed by a Texas-licensed pest control applicator and specifically assesses evidence of termites, wood-boring beetles, wood decay, and other wood-destroying organisms. General home inspectors are not licensed to provide WDO reports and often lack the specialized training to identify early or concealed termite activity.
Is annual termite inspection necessary for River Oaks homes that have been treated?
Yes. Termite treatments — including liquid barriers and bait stations — require periodic monitoring to confirm ongoing effectiveness. Annual inspections also catch any new termite pressure before it penetrates your treatment zone. River Oaks' Formosan termite populations are aggressive enough that we strongly recommend annual assessments.
Will you inspect around my live oak trees and landscaping?
Absolutely. Mature live oak root systems in River Oaks are among the most common termite foraging corridors we encounter. We inspect the full drip line and root zone areas as part of every inspection — this is especially important for foundation areas where roots have lifted or shifted soil grade.
What happens if termites are found during my inspection?
We walk you through the findings in person, explain the extent and type of activity, and provide a written treatment recommendation. Your $175 inspection fee is credited toward treatment. We never pressure you to commit on the spot — you'll have everything in writing to review at your own pace.
