Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections: Protecting Your
Property

What are they?

Wood destroying insect (WDI) inspections (also known as Termite Inspections or Pest Inspections), are thorough
examinations of a property to identify the presence of insects that can cause
structural damage, primarily focusing on:

Termites: These silent destroyers eat away at wood from the inside out, often going unnoticed until significant
damage occurs.
Carpenter Ants: While not as destructive as termites, carpenter ants can still cause significant
damage by burrowing through wood to create nests.
Powderpost beetles:
These smaller insects create small, round holes in wood as they tunnel and feed.
Carpenter Bees:
These large bee burrow into wood to lay eggs, leaving behind exit holes and potentially weakening structural elements. The larvae in these holes also attract woodpeckers who will further damage the wood to get to this food source.

Why are they important?

WDI inspections are crucial for several reasons:

Protect your investment:
Early detection of an infestation allows for prompt treatment, minimizing potential damage and saving you money on repairs in the long run.
Peace of mind:
Knowing your property is free of wood-destroying insects provides peace of mind and avoids potential anxieties about future damage.
Mortgage requirement:
Some lenders or specialty loans such as FHA, VA, or USMA may require a WDI inspection before approving a mortgage on a property.
Real estate transaction:
WDI inspections are often a standard part of the real estate transaction process, protecting both buyers and sellers.
Identify risk factors:
Even if no current infestation is found, the inspection can identify conditions conducive to future infestations, allowing for preventative
measures.

Our licensed and qualified Wood Destroying Insect Inspectors are trained to identify signs of infestation and potential risk factors.

Scott's professional assessment allowed me to make informed decision about a property. His reporting is thorough and clear and helped me understand what were large issues and what were small issues. He was there before I got there for an onsite visit and I had the reporting I needed a few hours later. Highly recommended!

Very thorough and even looked at items repeatedly during some inclement weather to confirm findings. Very responsive and professional. The report was easy to read and understand and Scott did a great job walking through property and explaining information. Will use again and would recommend!

Best $375 i ever spent. Very good at home inspection. Caught 90% more than i saw. Saved me greatly from buying a house that probably would have went up in flames in a month or 2.

Saved me big money on a home that we almost purchased. Was so pleased with his quality of service, we recommended him to our son for his inspection, my in-laws for their purchase and even a friend of ours to inspect the rental that we were living in that she purchased. Now he will be inspecting our new home build

Scott at Sandusky Bay Inspections has completed two home inspections for us in the last three years and both experiences were excellent! Scott is extremely thorough, takes his time, and makes sure that as a potential buyer that you are aware of any issues that may come along with your new home purchase. He takes time to explain each finding to make sure you understand the urgency of the issue. He has a keen eye and a wealth of experience that really helps to give you piece of mind when making such a large investment. I would recommend Sandusky Bay Inspections to anyone!

Used this company after making an offer on a home before going through with the purchase. The person, Scott, was very professional and did an awesome job of finding all sorts of things i had missed. Well worth the money spent. Will definitely use this company again.

Scott provided an excellent service. He was very thorough during his survey, answered all questions we had, and explained many other things in great detail - which is exactly what we wanted as first-time buyers. Further, his report was completed in an amazingly short amount of time, with many photos throughout. While much of the report constituted things that the seller did not need to know about, we are considering the report as a 'To Do List' of minor to mid-level tasks once we move into our new home. Thanks for your excellent work, Scott!

We could not be more pleased with an inspection and reports as we are with Sandusky Bay Inspections LLC. Since we live 1200 miles away from our intended house we relied on Sandusky Bay Inspections to find anything that they could find that would be hazardous or harmful. The report was so thorough that we could not ask for more. Thank you Scott. We can now move in and know we are safe and secure.

Scott and his family are wonderful people. Sometimes it's just as important to know the quality and character of the people behind the company that you're looking at. You wont find a harder and honest person for your inspections.
