David fit us in within 24 hours, produced a detailed written report, and discovered an issue at the rear foundation the seller's disclosure hadn't mentioned. That report saved us from a very expensive surprise.”

What Tanglewood Buyers and Sellers Say About Resolve's Inspections
$175 Credited to Treatment Real Estate Ready Reports Same-Day Scheduling Often Available
“As a seller, I wanted a clean inspection before listing. David found minor subterranean activity in the garden beds near the foundation, treated it the same week, and issued a clearance report. We listed with confidence and closed without any termite-related complications.”
“David was recommended by our real estate agent for Tanglewood inspections specifically. His knowledge of the neighborhood — the root systems, the original construction, the Formosan pressure — showed in how thoroughly he examined the property. His report gave us exactly what we needed to negotiate.”
What Resolve's Termite Inspection Covers in Tanglewood
A Tanglewood inspection goes well beyond a visual exterior check — David examines every structure and high-risk zone on the property.
Foundation and Sill Plate Inspection
David examines all accessible foundation perimeters, sill plates, and wood-soil contact areas — including zones where Tanglewood's mature oak roots create underground foraging corridors directly to the structure.
Attic and Roof Structure Inspection
Original 1950s and 1960s attic rafters and fascia boards in Tanglewood are frequent drywood termite harborage. David inspects all accessible attic framing for galleries, frass deposits, and hollowed structural members.
Moisture and Conducive Condition Assessment
Drip irrigation systems, deep mulch beds, and ornamental water features near foundations are assessed for moisture conditions that attract termites. Conducive conditions are documented in the written report with recommended remediation.
Detached Structures and Garages
Detached garages, pool houses, and garden sheds on Tanglewood lots are included in every WDO inspection — because termites do not limit their activity to the primary residence.
Wood-Destroying Organism Identification
The report identifies all wood-destroying organisms found — subterranean termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles — with species-specific findings and recommended treatments for each.
Written WDO Report
A licensed WDO report is issued promptly following the inspection, in the format required for Texas real estate transactions. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment David recommends.

Case Study
How a Tanglewood Pre-Listing Inspection Uncovered a Hidden Drywood Infestation
The Problem
A Tanglewood homeowner preparing to list their 1962 home ordered a pre-listing WDO inspection through Resolve. The home's exterior had been freshly painted and showed no visible signs of damage, but David's attic inspection found significant drywood termite gallery damage in three original rafter sections on the rear slope — an infestation entirely hidden above a finished ceiling.
Our Solution
David performed targeted spot treatment on all three affected rafter sections, injecting termiticide directly into the active gallery areas. A follow-up inspection six weeks later confirmed no remaining live activity. A clearance WDO report was issued for the listing.
The Outcome
The home was listed and sold without any termite-related buyer objections or price renegotiation. The sellers avoided a last-minute discovery that could have delayed or derailed a high-value transaction.
Termite Inspection FAQs for Tanglewood Buyers and Sellers
How much does a termite inspection cost in Tanglewood?
David charges $175 for a WDO inspection of a typical Tanglewood residential property. That fee is credited in full toward any treatment he recommends. If the inspection comes back clear, you pay $175 for a clean written report that satisfies real estate transaction requirements.
How quickly can I get a termite inspection for a real estate closing?
In most cases, David can schedule an inspection within 24-48 hours of your call. Written WDO reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — fast enough to meet most Houston-area real estate closing timelines. Call (832) 519-6650 to check availability.
Does the inspection cover the whole property or just the main house?
Every Tanglewood WDO inspection covers the main residence, all accessible attic and crawlspace areas, detached garages, and any auxiliary structures on the lot. Termites do not restrict themselves to the primary home, so neither does the inspection.
What happens if David finds termite activity during the inspection?
David will walk you through the findings immediately after the inspection, explain the type and extent of the infestation, and provide treatment recommendations with pricing. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment. You are never pressured to proceed — but early treatment is always less expensive than delayed action.
Can a termite inspection reveal past damage even if termites are no longer active?
Yes. David documents historical termite damage — inactive galleries, stained wood, old frass deposits, and structural compromise — even when no live insects are present. This information is valuable for buyers negotiating price adjustments or requesting seller remediation.
Is a WDO inspection required for a Texas real estate transaction?
Lenders frequently require a WDO inspection as a condition of loan approval for properties in high-termite-pressure areas like Tanglewood. Even when not lender-required, buyers in Tanglewood's high-value market routinely order WDO inspections to protect themselves from costly post-closing discoveries.
