What's included
What termite inspection & wdo reports covers
A wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection is a formal, documented examination for termites, fungus and other wood-destroying pests — the report escrow and lenders rely on. The value is in the thoroughness and the clarity: a careful inspection that doesn’t miss active infestations, and a report that spells out what’s active (Section 1) versus what’s a future risk (Section 2) so buyers and sellers can negotiate from facts.
- Full WDO inspection: foundation, sub-area/crawlspace, attic, eaves, garage and visible wood
- A standard California-format report with a clear findings diagram
- Section 1 (active/current damage) and Section 2 (conditions likely to lead to damage) separated
- Plain-language explanation of each finding and what it means for the sale
- Scope-appropriate for home sales, escrow, refinancing or buyer/seller peace of mind
- A clear path to treatment and clearance if findings need to be corrected
Signs & local causes
When you need a WDO report
In California, a termite (WDO) report is a routine part of most home sales — buyers, lenders and escrow commonly require one before closing, and it protects everyone by putting the home’s wood-destroying-pest condition on paper. You may also want one when refinancing, when buying an older home, or simply for peace of mind before small problems become expensive ones. Because the report drives repair negotiations, an accurate, well-explained inspection matters as much as the inspection itself.
- A home sale where the buyer, lender or escrow requires a termite clearance
- An older Fresno home where you want to know the real condition before buying
- A refinance or loan that calls for a WDO report
- A seller who wants to inspect early and handle findings before listing
- Peace-of-mind checks on a home with a history of termite activity
Our process
How our termite inspection & wdo reports works
A clear, step-by-step visit with a written scope and an up-front price.
Schedule around escrow
We book the inspection to fit your escrow timeline so the report doesn’t become the thing holding up the close. Agents and owners can coordinate access directly with us.
Thorough inspection
We inspect the accessible structure — foundation, crawlspace or sub-area, attic, eaves, garage and visible wood — for termites, fungus and other wood-destroying organisms, noting both active damage and the conditions that invite it.
Document the findings
We produce a standard-format report with a diagram, separating Section 1 (active problems and current damage) from Section 2 (conditions likely to lead to future damage).
Explain it plainly
We walk you through what each finding means and how serious it is — so a buyer or seller can negotiate from understanding, not from a scary document full of jargon.
Path to clearance
If findings need correction, we lay out the treatment and repair needed for clearance and how to get the certification escrow is looking for — and we’re straight about what’s urgent versus optional.

What termite inspection & wdo reports costs in Fresno
A WDO inspection for a typical home is a flat, reasonable fee — modest compared with the repairs it can reveal before they grow. Any corrective treatment is quoted separately after the findings. Cost depends on:
- Home size and the number of structures (house, garage, outbuildings) inspected
- Accessibility — an open crawlspace vs. a tight or obstructed sub-area
- Whether you need just the report, or report plus corrective treatment and clearance
- Escrow timeline — standard scheduling vs. an expedited turnaround
- Any re-inspection needed after repairs for the clearance certificate
Rules & licensing
Local rules and licensing
WDO inspections and reports fall under the California SPCB’s Branch 3 (wood-destroying pests and organisms), and completed reports are filed with the Board, where they’re part of the public record for the property. The Section 1 / Section 2 structure is the California standard. We perform the inspection and documentation to that standard so the report holds up in escrow.

Never see a pest in my house. J&J is the best. Very kind office staff. Pierre has sprayed for us for many years and we feel like we have family coming when he's on his way.
Jim came out and sprayed our house for the first time today and he was very knowledgeable and kind. From the first phone call to them, the customer service is outstanding. Prices are fair, and a locally owned business. Recommend!
Wasps were coming in my home. I have little kids. They came the same day although the schedule was full. They made a extra trip just for me. I would recommend JandJ to anyone!!
