Lender-Accepted Reports Same-Day Scheduling $175 Credited to Treatment
“I'm renovating a 1908 two-story in The Heights and wanted a baseline inspection before opening walls. David found early drywood activity in a section of attic framing that would have been enclosed the following week. Getting ahead of it saved us a much bigger problem.”
“We listed our Heights home and the buyer's agent requested a WDO report fast. Resolve scheduled the next morning, inspected everything thoroughly, and confirmed no active activity. The inspection report satisfied the lender and we closed on schedule.”
What Our Heights WDO Inspection Covers
A thorough, licensed inspection built for the unique construction of Heights historic homes.

Inspection of accessible attic framing for drywood termite galleries, frass accumulations, and exit holes in old-growth rafters and ridge boards.
Exterior Foundation and Perimeter
Full-perimeter walkthrough checking for mud tubes, damaged wood at foundation level, soil contact with wood framing, and conditions conducive to termite infestation.
Interior Spot Checks
Interior inspection of door frames, window sills, baseboards, and other wood elements for signs of active or historic termite damage, moisture damage, and wood decay fungi.

Case Study
The Heights: Pre-Closing Inspection Catches Hidden Attic Activity
The Problem
A Heights homeowner had a sale under contract with a 10-day closing window. The buyers' lender required a current WDO report. No prior inspections had been done on the 1916 craftsman in over four years.
Our Solution
David scheduled the inspection the following morning. The crawl space showed no active subterranean activity, but the attic inspection revealed drywood termite frass in two areas of the original-growth ridge board. David performed targeted foam injection treatment the same afternoon.
The Outcome
The treatment letter was delivered to the lender by end of day, and the sale closed within the original window. The buyers also enrolled in an annual monitoring plan before taking possession of the property.
WDO Inspection FAQs for The Heights
Why does The Heights have such high WDO inspection demand?
The Heights is one of Houston's most active real estate markets and the neighborhood's 100-year-old housing stock makes termite activity a near-universal concern. Most lenders and buyers require a current WDO report before closing. We handle Heights WDO inspections routinely and understand the local market's pace.
What does the $175 WDO inspection fee cover?
The fee covers the full on-site inspection including crawl space, attic, exterior perimeter, and accessible interior, plus the written WDO report. If you book treatment with us, the full $175 is credited toward the treatment cost — you pay only the difference.
How quickly can I get the WDO report?
In most cases, the written report is delivered the same day or the following morning. For urgent closing timelines, call us directly at (832) 519-6650 and we'll prioritize your inspection and report delivery.
