A wood-destroying insect inspection catches termite activity and previous damage — and flags the conditions that put your home at risk before the damage gets serious.
A wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection is a key part of termite control. Frank looks not only for signs of active termite activity and previous damage, but also for the areas of a home that might be at risk for future termite infestation.
Termites and other wood-destroying insects do their damage quietly, often behind walls and beneath floors where a casual look would never catch them. A WDI inspection is a focused check for the evidence, the damage, and the conditions that invite these pests in.
Frank Frasco is a State of New Jersey Certified Real Estate Inspector (#24GI00157300) with more than 32 years in the construction trades — so he knows exactly where wood-destroying insects hide and what their damage looks like. He documents what he finds in a clear report, typically within 24 hours.
A Frank Frasco WDI inspection looks for active pests, past damage, and the conditions that put a home at risk — here's what that involves.
Signs of live termites and other wood-destroying insects in the accessible areas of the home.
Evidence of past infestation and the structural damage wood-destroying insects can leave behind.
The parts of a home most vulnerable to future infestation, flagged before problems start.
Moisture, wood-to-soil contact, and other conditions that invite termites in.
Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage across the United States every year — and most of it goes unnoticed until it's already serious. By the time you can see the damage, the repair is often significant.
A WDI inspection catches the problem early: active pests, the damage they've already done, and the conditions that put the home at risk going forward. That's the difference between a manageable treatment and a major structural repair.
WDI inspections are also frequently required as part of a real estate transaction — so having one done protects both your investment and your closing timeline.
Your inspection delivers a detailed, easy-to-read report documenting activity, damage, and risk — typically within 24 hours.

A wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection is a focused check for termites and other wood-destroying insects. Frank looks for signs of active activity, evidence of previous damage, and the conditions that put a home at risk for future infestation.
Common signs include mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings, hollow-sounding or damaged wood, and frass (termite droppings). Many signs are subtle or hidden, which is exactly why a trained inspection matters.
It's frequently required — many lenders and buyers ask for a WDI report as part of the transaction. Even when it isn't required, it's smart protection on a major purchase.
It depends on the size and layout of the home, but a WDI inspection is generally a focused, efficient process. Frank takes the time needed to check the accessible areas thoroughly.
If Frank finds active termites or damage, he documents it clearly in your report so you can bring in a licensed pest-control professional for treatment. He'll explain what he found so you know exactly where things stand.
