Wood Destroying Organism (WDI) Inspection
Protect Your Home From Termites and Hidden Damage
A Wood Destroying Organism Inspection, also called a Termite Inspection, helps homeowners and buyers uncover costly damage before it spreads. Termites and other wood-destroying insects can silently eat away at the structure of a home for years before visible signs appear — leading to thousands in repair costs if left unchecked.
At Quality Home Inspections, our certified inspectors perform WDI inspections in Wilmington, DE, using a detailed visual assessment of all accessible areas of your home — including the interior, exterior, basement, and crawlspace. We look for:
Shelter tubes or tunnels created by termites.
Evidence of previous infestations or wood decay.
Conditions that attract wood-destroying organisms.
By catching these issues early, we help protect your home’s value and prevent major structural damage later on.

🪵 Why a Termite Inspection Matters
Even if a home appears in good shape, termites can be active behind walls, under floors, or in wooden beams. Our inspections reveal the warning signs most homeowners can’t see, giving you a clear picture of your property’s health.
We not only identify active infestations, but also locate conditions conducive to future activity — such as excess moisture, poor drainage, or wood-to-ground contact. Addressing these early can save thousands of dollars in repairs.
What Our Clients Say:
This was my first time getting inspection and Ted made this a smooth transaction I like the way he called me and explained everything to me before he sent the paperwork because I was so lost. Thank you Ted for helping me with my first time buying a house experience. — Review by Lakisha McMillan
What We Check During a WDI Inspection
Our thorough inspection includes:
Basements, crawlspaces, and attics for visible damage or frass (termite debris).
Window and door frames for soft or hollowed wood.
Foundation areas where wood meets soil.
Decks, porches, or fences connected to the structure.
Moisture-prone areas like plumbing or HVAC access points.
When wood-destroying insects are found, we’ll recommend the best next steps — from moisture control to professional pest treatment, so you can act fast and effectively.
