Definition
A Wood-Destroying Insect inspection that checks a property for current or past termite (or similar) activity — commonly required within 90 days of a Virginia home sale closing.
In Plain English
The inspection most home sales require
A WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) inspection is a formal check of a property for termites and similar wood-destroying pests, documented on a standard report. It's distinct from actual treatment — it's an assessment, not a service to fix anything found.
Why It Matters
Why it matters for buying or selling a home in Virginia
Most Virginia real estate transactions require a WDI inspection within 90 days of closing. It's a standard, often non-negotiable part of the process, not an optional add-on — worth scheduling early rather than as a last-minute scramble before settlement.
