Wood Destroying Organism Inspection
Termites, Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees and Powder Post Beetles are the most common types of wood destroying insects in Southeast Michigan homes. These pests cost over $5 Billion in damages in the United States every year! They feast 24/7 and can strike at any time, so it is highly recommended when purchasing a home to make sure your new home is not infested.
Do I Need a WDO Inspection?
If you are purchasing your home with a Veterans Administration (V.A.) Loan, or a Federal Housing Administration (F.H.A.)

When you add this service in addition to your Home Inspection, you will be provided with the approved NPMA-33 document that your lender requires.
When re-financing a V.A. Loan, or selling your home under V.A. Terms, this form may also be required. Up Close Home Inspection offers this type of inspection independently. Please email us directly for more information at: uchomeinspection@gmail.com
