Why WDO Inspection Is Important?

A WDO inspection report is a written report of an inspection on a property for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms. This report is required in many states across the US for a transfer of property. Infact, all houses in Florida are required to get a wood destroying organism inspection done yearly. It is estimated that damage caused by wood destroying organisms in the US amounts to a whopping $5 billion every year.
