Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
A WDIR is a formal document issued by a licensed professional detailing the presence or absence of wood-destroying insects (like termites, carpenter ants, and powderpost beetles) and any associated damage discovered during an inspection. It's often required for real estate transactions to protect buyers. A licensed WDIR can cost as low as $40.
The size of the property directly influences the inspection time and effort, thereby impacting the cost. Larger properties, particularly those exceeding standard residential sizes, typically fall into the mid-range ($80–$150) to premium ($151–$325) tiers due to the increased scope of work.
Yes, WDIRs are typically required for VA loans to ensure the property is free from wood-destroying insect infestations. An average pest inspection, including a WDIR suitable for VA loans, costs around $80.
A basic WDIR, typically priced from $40–$79, primarily focuses on identifying wood-destroying insects according to standard report requirements. A comprehensive termite inspection, often part of the premium tier ($151–$325), involves a more detailed assessment for larger or high-risk properties, potentially including harder-to-reach areas and more in-depth damage evaluations.
While the standard WDIR typically comes in one color, you might be able to add an additional color to specific sections for an extra charge of around $50, depending on the form provider. This is more of a customization feature for the report document itself.
