Wood-destroying Insect Report (WDIR) in Georgetown

Berry Creek Exclusion — Wood-destroying Insect Report (WDIR) services in Georgetown

A WDIR is the inspection report Texas uses for real estate closings — lenders and title companies ask for it before a sale goes through. We inspect the structure for active or past wood-destroying insects and file the state form, not a repair estimate.

Which ones you get here

• Subterranean termites: Most of what we write up. We're checking slab edges, plumbing penetrations, and any foam or dirt that could be hiding a mud tube.
• Carpenter ants: Different evidence: frass piles, not mud tubes, usually near a moisture source like a leaking gutter or AC line.
• Powderpost beetles: Found in exposed structural lumber or old furniture-grade wood — small exit holes and fine powder, easy to miss under paint.
• Carpenter bees: Round holes drilled into eaves and fascia boards. We note it on the report even though it's not a termite-level structural concern.

What wood-destroying insect report (wdir) involves

1. Confirm the deadline: Closings run on a schedule, so we find out when the report is due before we find out what's wrong with the house.
2. Walk the structure: We go around the full exterior perimeter and through every accessible interior space — attic, garage, under sinks — looking for live insects or old damage.
3. Document the evidence: Mud tubes, frass, exit holes, soft wood, old treatment tags on the foundation — all of it gets photographed and noted with location.
4. Complete the state form: We fill out the Texas WDIR with our findings and get it to the realtor, title company, or homeowner, whoever ordered it.

When you need it

• A house is under contract and the lender is asking for the report before closing.
• A buyer's inspector flagged something and wants a specialist to look closer.
• There's an old termite treatment sticker on the foundation and nobody knows when it was last serviced.
• A seller found damaged wood while prepping the house to list and wants it documented before it becomes a negotiation problem.

What changes the job

Slab-on-grade houses limit what we can see below the foundation, so the report leans on the visible perimeter, weep holes, and interior baseboards rather than a crawlspace check. A detached garage, a deck, or an old addition tacked onto the original structure all get inspected separately and can turn up their own findings. Houses with a documented treatment history move faster; ones with none take longer because we're not ruling anything out.
