Pest Inspection (In conjunction with Home Building Inspections only) Fastrak, Inc offers Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspections. This is a complete pest inspection of the interior, exterior, and substructure of a house or building. Frequently, these are required by lending institutions, insurance companies, Realtors, buyers and sellers when a house/building is being sold and/or refinanced. This inspection identifies WDO infestations and damage inflicted by these organisms. A pest inspection also identifies, and calls for the correction of conditions conducive to WDO's presence. These conditions also include dry rot, active wet rot, excessive moisture, wood-soil contact, etc. These conditions, damages, and infestations can be quite extensive at times, and is well worth the price of a good pest inspection. Sellers must be proactive in completing a WDO inspection prior to its sale. For instance there may be conditions and/or infestations that are discovered during a pest inspection. These matters can be repaired or treated prior to finding a buyer - this may shorten the time it takes to close the deal. Fastrak, Inc. is certified and liscensed with the WSDA (Washington State Department of Agriculture) and is a member of the WSPCA (Washington State Pest Control Association). All pest reports are written on WSPCA complete Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Report forms which have been reviewed and approved by the WDSA. These reports include written findings of conducive conditions and pest infestations along with recommendations on how to repair and treat them. A detailed diagram of the structure is included upon request. Fastrak will perform a WDO report for the sale of your home and also indicate if you have a rodent problem. Q: Why worry about termites in particular? A: Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year. They primarily feed on wood, but also damage paper, books, insulations, and even swimming pool liners and filtration systems. Termites can injure living trees and shrubs, but more often are a secondary invader of woody plants already in decline. While buildings may become infested at any time, termites are of particular importance when buying or selling a home since a termite inspection/infestation report is normally a condition of sale. Besides the monetary impact, thousands of winged termites emerging inside one's home are an emotionally trying experience - not to mention the thought of termites silently feasting on one's largest investment. |
