Termite & Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections in Greater Houston
Certified detection of termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring pests to protect your structural equity and satisfy Texas mortgage lending requirements.
Why WDI Inspections Are Vital in Southeast Texas
The warm, humid climate of Greater Houston creates ideal conditions for subterranean termites, Formosan termites, and other wood-destroying organisms. Left undetected, these pests silently compromise structural framing, baseboards, floor joists, and roof decking without presenting obvious exterior signs until severe damage has occurred.
Standard property insurance policies do not cover termite damage. At HiteTech Inspections, our comprehensive WDI evaluations deliver the thorough documentation, official Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) reporting, and early detection needed to negotiate repairs, protect investments, and meet lender closing criteria.

Non-Destructive Thermal & Moisture Diagnostics
In addition to physical probing and visual checks, we cross-reference suspect moisture zones using calibrated infrared thermal tools to spot hidden colonies in wall cavities.
Identification of Conducive Conditions

Same-Day Turnaround
Timely documentation ensures repair escrow negotiations and real estate option periods proceed without delays.

FAQ's
While not mandated by Texas state law for all cash purchases, almost all government-backed loans (VA, FHA, USDA) and most conventional mortgage lenders strictly require an official WDI inspection clearance report before underwriting approval.
Yes. Subterranean termites tunnel from the soil through micro-fissures in slabs and wall studs, hollowing out structural wood from the inside out while leaving the outer surface or paint completely intact.
