Sometimes called “termite inspections”, this specialized inspection looks for damage caused by any type of insect, primarily termites that feed on, and nest in, the wood that supports your home’s frame, porch, patio, flooring, ceiling, and other places. Of course, not all wood-destroying insects are termites. Ants, bees and beetles, and various larva are also known for making a buffet of your home’s wooden elements and thereby compromising the soundness and integrity of your home’s ability to support itself. The damage caused by wood-destroying insects can certainly lead to the sharp devaluation of your property’s value as well as increasing the danger for occupants.
WDI inspection looks for evidence of infestation by termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood boring beetles, as well as evidence of past infestations, damage to wood, etc. A WDI report is commonly called a “Termite Inspection”.
Termite Facts:
- Live for 15 years
- Have 4 wings
- Lay 1 egg every 15 seconds
- Burrow tiny mud tunnels to a source of wood
- Leave sawdust near windows
- Enjoy wood resulting from leaky plumbing
- Can destroy entire house in about 2-3 years
- Found in every U.S. state except Alaska
- Help the food chain by recycling wood for the soil
It is often difficult to determine the difference between termites and ants. Termites have two pair of wings (front and back) and are of almost equal length. Ants also have two pair of wings, but the fore wings are much larger than the hind wings.
Also, termites have relatively straight antennae while ants have elbowed antennae.
- Ants generally do not swarm at the same time as termites, but it can happen
- Termites have a thick waist and ants have a narrow waist
- Termites have straight antennae and ants have elbowed antennae
- Termites have four wings that are all equal in length
- Ants have four wings, however, two are larger and two are smaller
Regular Termite Inspections is a Necessity
Termites surely can cause a lot of destruction. Yes, these little creatures are highly destructive in nature. They are micro creatures that might not see through naked eyes. Only after some serious destruction is being caused by these animals that most of the homeowners realize about the termite attack. Termites are mainly of three types: damp-wood, dry-wood, and subterranean. However, each of these has one prevalent characteristic: to consume wood. Only leave them untreated, and they will destroy one big wood structure completely within a month’s time. This is why it becomes so important to carry out regular TERMITE INSPECTIONS and take necessary steps.
There are a whole lot of homeowners who still hesitate a little before calling for pest control experts. After all, cost involvement is surely a significant factor to consider. What they fail to realize is that the destruction caused by pests can lead to higher expenses. So, it’s better to invest at an earlier stage to get rid of termites. If left for long, then the costing will be much more severe.
There are specialists available for carrying out the termite inspection process. They will check every corner of the client house to locate termites and other wood destroying insects. Any sign of termite infestation and they will start taking immediate action. However, they will first inform the client regarding the issue. They will submit a detailed work procedure and complete expenses report. If the client gives an affirmative nod, then they will proceed with their PEST CONTROL process.
Those who don’t want to hire professional pest controlling experts can even control termite growth by their own. The process might well be a bit strenuous, but a lot of money will be saved. But 100% termite elimination may not be achieved. Professional experts always have an excellent approach towards these tasks. They have years of experience by their side to carry out the germ cleaning process. So, it’s recommended to hire professional experts to control and prevent the growth of termites.

Highly satisfied with both their work and work ethics. They accommodated a schedule change last minute. Thomas the inspector was very diligent. He covered every aspect of the house thoroughly. All issues found were documented clearly with pictures and the final report prepared the same day. They use great technology for communication and reporting. The report was available online and as a pdf download too.

Julie was amazing and so great about explaining the whole process and made everything so easy! She got me scheduled right away and they came out the next day! Our inspector Thomas was very thorough when explaining all of his findings and made it easy to understand! Buying a new home is a scary process and they made this part of it a breeze!! I would highly recommend this company!

Clay and his bunch are a fantastic group of folks! I did my research. I found them to be the most comprehensive in what they offered. They offered all-a-cart services in case you are working within a budget. They were so very professional. I definitely highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed.

The owner provided great information over the phone about the inspection process and services they offer, and was able to get me on their schedule right away.Caleb conducted our inspection and did a great job. He was very thorough and detailed, and took the time to answer my questions during the inspection, and to go over the report with us at the end of the inspection.They use technology to increase the scope and accuracy of their inspection such as thermal imaging camera and an altimeter to measure any movement in the foundation. And, the report was in my email inbox before we left the property!Being able to add services such as the foundation measurement, septic inspection and testing, pool equipment testing and a termite inspection helps give me peace of mind and consolidates how many professionals I need to schedule to get a solid review of the home I am buying.

We used Caleb Moore for two separate inspections this year. The initial for a house we thought we wanted, and the inspection went very smoothly. He ended up finding a lot more wrong with the house than we thought and saved us from a bad deal. He just completed our new build final inspection. Everything is so detailed and meticulous. He found things we weren’t aware of and gave us such peace of mind. With a new build, there can be some red flags that we wouldn’t know to see and he found anything and everything and confirmed nothing was alarming. He found items such as random screws that need to be sealed on the roof and screws missing on the new fence. I really suggest using this company for your inspection needs just by how thorough. I decided to stop by while the inspection was happening just to see if anything else popped up that he may not have caught and he found everything I noticed. The report is explained in full and any questions any answered no matter how small. I did not feel like a nuisance while being there, but made sure to stay out of his way.

Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Tom our inspector for his detailed and quality inspection for my Wife and I. Lastly, I want to thank the Owner for taking the time and go over the inspection review with my Wife and I. My Wife and I would highly recommend this company to anyone and looking forward to doing more business with them! 5 star ⭐️ service!!!!

I appreciate Clayton for his knowledge and expertise. He's friendly, arrives on time, and delivers an easy-to-understand report. I've used him several times and will continue to do so.

Fantastic company for inspections! Extremely happy we chose Blackland for our new home purchase. Owners are friendly, kind, fast and patient. The inspectors, Tom and Caleb, performed an excellent review of the home. Our report results were very thorough and had great pictures to reference.We showed up for the last hour and felt welcomed and prioritized. I was worried we would be in their way but they never made us feel like an annoyance or burden. Tom was very thoughtful and thorough. Answered all our questions and gave easy to understand explanations to ensure we knew what was found. He also helped us understand general home maintenance tips to either remedy or avoid certain things.I'll definitely use this company in the future, as well as, recommend to family and friends! 🙂

All great in my book!!! Easy to set up, great response time, clear communication. We had a very pleasant experience with Caleb, the inspector. He was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain his findings and the "whys" behind them. I strongly recommend Blackland Home Inspections to anyone needing a home inspection.

Blackland home inspections is an amazing company, and they care about providing a top notch inspection experience. They treat the inspection as if it were for a family member and are very thorough! Tom in particular was our inspector and he found some pretty important things that needed to be addressed in the home we are considering buying. He was patient with all my questions and he provided an extremely detailed report on his findings that I believe truly helped us when we went back to the sellers. I am grateful our realtor connected us to Tom and Blackland home inspections, we definitely would trust them time and time again!

Let me start by saying how grateful I am I hired Blackland for our home inspection. The knowledge and professionalism they bring to you is second to none. It is because of them and only them we dodged a huge bullet on a previous home inspection. For that reason we hired them again for another home inspection. Their honesty and pride in their craft can not go unnoticed. I recommend Blackland to absolutely anyone and everyone.

My inspector Caleb was very knowledgeable and patient with me I asked questions regarding the condition of my home. He made sure to include any and all concerns that I had to the inspection report. Julie was also very pleasant to work with. She took a call from me after hours concerning a scheduling concern that I had. I would definitely recommend this company to any and all who are buying a new or pre-owned home. Peace of mind is priceless. Thank you Blackland!

Blackland went above and beyond to provide us with amazing service. They rescheduled to accommodate our needs, Caleb called and walked us through his findings after spending a day doing inspections, and Caleb was beyond knowledgeable! He took his time while talking with us and was helpful every step of the way. We could not be more satisfied with our experience and the customer service we received from Blackland Home Inspections. Thank you all so much, you are wonderful at what you do!

Tom was the Inspector assigned to check out the townhome I'm interested in purchasing. When he had completed his inspection, he called me so I could meet with him to discuss his findings. Tom really impressed me with his knowledge, professional manner and his presentation and advice. I felt more confident about this purchase after meeting with him. The experience with the Blackland Home Inspection team has been a pleasurable worry free and problem free experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to get a home inspection!

Every interaction with the office and the inspector himself was positive. As this was our first home buying rodeo, we needed extra guidance and flexibility. They worked with us when setting the appointment, let us know what was needed and what to expect, and helped us to understand the inspection report. Additionally, and most importantly, the report itself was thorough and illuminated several problems for us. As such, it had a huge impact on the home buying negotiations and preparing us for what would need to be done if we end up buying.All in all, 5 stars, would recommend.

The folks at Blackland have inspected 4 houses for me over the process of moving twice and purchasing a new home. Their customer service, patience and understanding of schedule changes, thorough communication, and expertise is by far a huge blessing in the home buying process. I would highly recommend them to help with your home buying process. Thank you team for your help once again.

I was impressed with their service overall. The entire team from the front office to the guys on the ground who completed the inspection where courteous, professional and knowledgeable. They spent four hours going over every part of the home and I felt like they caught everything. The report I was presented was state of the art with pictures and interactive notes. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a home inspection.

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with Blackland. They provided the inspection for a house we had under contract. Timing was important to us and they were able to inspect the home the next day. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, friendly, and thorough. Crystal was extremely helpful in getting us scheduled. Caleb and Clay not only did a great job at the house, but provided an immediate report of their observations, and even gave a lot of information that was beyond the scope of the report. Julie was helpful and responsive when we had follow-up questions. We enthusiastically recommend Blackland.

Blankland Home Inspections are AMAZING!!! My husband and I are purchasing a home and needed an inspection conducted within 3 days. They were booked out, but managed to find a way to help.

Blackland is courteous, thorough and timely.It was worth having the inspection done for peace of mind. We had a few areas identified by Caleb that wouldn't be acceptable for a new build. Now we can get the repairs made and love our builder before we close. Thanks for looking out for me.

Clay was very detailed in our home inspection. He gave his suggestions and recommendations for continued maintenance on the property being inspected. Honest, professional, last minute response and could not have asked for anything better. Hire this team and please read their reviews. Most are 5 stars but you will have a few one stars. Those reviews were answered with explanations.

I had a great experience with this company. They were able to fit me into their schedule last minute when I was really in need of a septic inspection. Tom spent time explaining any issues and didn't rush through the job. I really appreciate the effort he went to to obtain the hard to get photos that were presented in the report.

So, I called at 9pm on Friday night on Labor Day Weekend with only 3 days to get my inspection done.... Clayton was there at 8am the next morning! He is thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained everything he noted in a concise no frills way that was easy to understand and also made it plain the items that i should address immediately and others that I just need to keep a close eye on. I am a first time buyer and this process is a bit overwhelming. I feel completely at ease with the condition of the home I chose based on his findings. I will certainly refer Blackland Home Inspections to anyone who asks. They were wonderful to do business with!
Kyle Harrington
19:37 07 Sep 21
Scheduled a home inspection with Blackland and dealt initially with Julie and then Crystal. Both were extremely responsive and flexible. The seller had a hectic schedule he was trying to manage and needed to reschedule the inspection several times. Julie and Crystal took the initiative to change things around to accommodate the schedule every time. In addition, I did not have to do anything to facilitate, they just took care of it. This was critical as we were nearing the end of our option period and I was out of state. Once onsite, Clay (inspector) was very thorough, patient, and took the time to explain everything in detail. And this was around 6:00 PM on a Friday prior to a holiday weekend after they had already been at the property for 4 hours. Written report was very professional and available immediately after the inspection, again saving time prior to our option period ending. Very impressed and I will definitely use their service again.

I was referred to this company by my listing agent. I contacted the company and talked with Julie who was very professional and polite. Julie explained the process and answered all my questions. After the service was complete I received a copy of the report promptly and also a thank you from the company. I have used this company to complete 2 inspections fir me over the last 2 months. I will definitely use this company again.
Ashley Pierce
14:01 01 Sep 21
If I could give more than five stars, I would! Julie and Crystal were phenomenal. Crystal proactively resolved a scheduling issue to accommodate our sellers and was wonderful to communicate with. Clayton did a great job of explaining the inspection report to me in a way that was thorough, easy to understand, and not at all condescending— in my experience a difficult trifecta to come by. 10/10 would recommend!

22:05 11 Aug 21
Every interaction I've had with anyone from Blackland has been excellent. Crystal talked me through the details of the inspection and contacted the sales agent, builder, and anyone else necessary to make sure we were good to go for the inspection. The inspector, Tom, communicated with me about the time we needed to meet to go over the inspection, and walked me through everything he noted on the report. Everything was timely and easy to understand. I highly recommend Blackland!
Gabriel Allred
14:32 15 Jul 21
Clayton was so easy to work with, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing he doesn't know! He left us with zero questions. My wife and I can move forward with the purchase of our new home with peace of mind and a complete understanding of what it is we're committing to.

Wonderful, very intricate, timely, inspections done for remodeled homes that I was looking to purchase for myself for my retirement home. the first home I had inspected Blackland was able to arrive on very short notice, and found some serious foundation and other issues, and had I purchased this home without their inspection it would have cost me thousands of dollars to fix. My next inspection with backland on a different home showed me signs of normal wear and tear on a 50 year old remodeled home and a few things that i will call specialists in to check and or repair but that the house was selling at a fair price. I am purchasing this house.Thanks to Chads wonderful very through inspection I will feel safe purchasing and living in my new home and I Highly recommend Blackland Home Inspections for anyone needing a thorough home inspection.

Blackland Home Inspection was great to work with. Crystal in the office was very helpful and accommodating, when we set up our appointment.

I need to add this:Chad Percival, did an exceptional Inspection to a property condo that I am in process of buying.

Blackland Home Inspections is the best choice for your home inspection needs! We have used them twice now while searching for our starter home. We spoke with Crystal to schedule both times and she is so sweet and helpful! Tom completed our first inspection and he was extremely thorough and walked me through every little thing and didn’t make me feel ignorant when I asked a million questions. Our second inspection (hopefully our last) is scheduled for the 26th of this month because we aren’t schedule to close until the first week of May as the house isn’t finished yet but I know whoever completes our inspection will be just as good as the last time! We will definitely use them again when we purchase our forever home 🖤

22:15 04 Apr 21
Backland gave us an incredibly thorough inspection, and a report to match that inspection. They kept my wife and I from making a very costly mistake and saved us over 100k in the process. I would recommend them to anyone who is buying or selling a home. My wife and I are both extremely grateful. The seller and seller’s agent, probably not as grateful.

The team at Clayton Houston and Blackland Home Inspections is absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were in the process of purchasing a house. We had a ton of questions and concerns about the home inspection process. Julie went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and address every concern. She was able to work with our busy schedules to get the house inspection done. She was very thorough, helpful and polite. After speaking with her we instantly knew we wanted them to do our inspection. The inspection process was also great. The inspector was very thorough and took time to explain things to us well. He answered all of our questions and listened to us. He addressed every concern and educated us very well throughout the process. I highly recommend this company and will be advising anyone I come across to get them to do their home inspections.

Tom was very professional and explained things very simply for my wife and I to understand. He found several small things that we would not have known to look for that will be good for us to look at when we do our final walk through. The price was a great value for what you get. Would definitely recommend them to anybody. Note, they also did a septic inspection!

We are in the process of buying our first home and needed to get it inspected. Thomas was great, the report was detailed. Not only did I get a detailed report Thomas was very informative and even help me to understand some of the minor things I would need to do as a home owner to take care of our new home and investment. I would 100% recommend Blackland

The staff with Blackland Home Inspections made the entire process smooth and easy from the beginning. I called on a Monday to set up house, pest and sprinkler inspection and they were able to schedule an inspection for Wednesday. Very quick and efficient. On the day of the inspection, they called us an hour before they were done so we could go to the property and discuss in person what was found during the inspection. Everyone we spoke with was very professional and informative. I would highly recommend using this company!

We were so happy to work with Blackland for an existing home we were in the process of buying. Everyone we encountered was so friendly, responsive and professional. We were in a time crunch trying to get prepared for our contract and Blackland did everything possible to help us. We were treated kindly by the inspector and he was very informative and helpful. We would definitely recommend!

This is the follow up Blackland inspection for our new house for that critical one year period before warranty. Would not go with anyone else. Detailed, easy to read report, valuable to both us as buyers and the sellers and now the builders. Scheduling everything was a breeze. The report was professional. They also provide a great debrief and as a engineer I appreciated the detail. Would recommend them to anyone that wants a home inspection at a fair price that will save you a bundle in the end. Not to mention the piece of mind.
Chelsea Hernandez
16:18 06 Nov 20
Highly recommend!! Clayton did an amazing and thorough inspection on a home we are purchasing. We are currently out of state and he happily spent a good amount of time going over the entire report page by page with me via phone. Friendly and very knowledgeable. We would definitely use again if need be!

This is our second time to use Blackland Inspections. I don't know what else I can say about them except they are the ones to call for any type home inspections. The cost of the inspection is nothing compared to the money they can save you on unnoticed/hidden repairs.Need a home inspection? Who you gonna call...Blackland!If you want an inspection worth your money and one you can trust....Blackland Home Inspections is the place to call. From the initial call, to set up the home inspection with his office personnel to meeting him at the site, everything was great. Not having been involved with home inspections, I was apprehensive as to how thorough the inspection would be. After seeing Mr. Houston go about the inspection, all my doubts were gone. All I need say is no stone was left unturned. If I ever have any other inspections, just know I'll be calling Blackland and will recommend them to others.

Brittany was great! She took her time with the inspection and walked my wife and I through the report step by step with great patience. Highly recommend! Clay and Julie were quick and efficient in setting up a date for the inspection. Will recommend to anyone who needs a home inspection.

Easy to schedule. We were provided with a thorough inspection report and were able to talk to the inspector to explain it. We’ll use them again.

Clayton was very thorough when he inspected my new home, explaining everything as he went along. He was also a lot of fun to be around in his 4 hour inspection! I would be glad to tell anyone that needed their house inspected to be sure to use Blackland Home Inspections! This was the 4th house inspection I have been through and he was the most conscientious inspector I have used.

This is my second time using Blackland for a home inspection. Clay inspected the first home and was extremely thorough and very informative as to how to mitigate items that needed repair. Brittany performed the inspection on a second home. She was just as thorough and knowledgeable. Brittany went above and beyond pulling out a shovel and digging an area she had concerns of water leakage. I did not see the water on the surface but somehow she knew it was deep in the ground. I could not be more satisfied with both Clay and Brittany. Also, Julie who schedules the appt. is extremely nice. Excellent customer service all around.

Highly recommend!! They have wonderful customer service and very thorough with the inspection. We hired them for a new build for phase inspections. Clayton did a wonderful job explaining everything and making us feel like experts as well! Julie was always so sweet and made the scheduling very easy! They made us feel very confident during the whole building process!

Our realtor handled mostly all communications for us however they did call me to ensure I wanted to continue to... inspection and arrange payment details. Many payment options even conveniently online which made things so much easier for us. I didn’t catch the name of the man who did our inspection but he was very kind and very thorough. He made sure I understood all of what he was telling me through out the report. Helped us realize we were making a HUGE mistake. All in all Very fast friendly and efficient will definitely be using again.read more

Brittany did such a great job inspecting my brand new build. She found a few issues that need addressing. I am glad I... decided to do this on a new build. One item was a foundation issue that needs to be addressed sooner than later. They came out the next day and I had the report quickly. I am very satisfied with their inspection all together and would highly recommend them.read more

Blackland home inspections just did the inspection for our new home. They were on the ball on scheduling. Were on... time, courteous, and very knowledgeable about every aspect of our new house.

Julie was an absolute pleasure to speak with when setting up our appointment. When Clay came to the house for our... inspection he was great at explaining what was going to happen and very accomodating with my small children. It was very easy to understand his report and recommendations for our house. I was amazed at his attention to detail all while entertaining and listening to my two year old talk at him �!read more

Very knowledgeable, personable and great customer service. As home buyers from out of state and new to the area, we... were a little anxious of the inspection process and questionable on whether it would be done to our expectations. We never went through an inspection before as we only owned new construction. I called the office a few days prior to our inspection and Julie was very knowledgeable and patient in answering all of my questions very thoroughly. Our inspection was originally scheduled one day prior to us flying into Texas but Julie and Clay went above and beyond to rescheduling the inspection so that we could meet in person to go over the findings of the inspection. I was very impressed by this gesture and when we met Clay at the inspection, I was blown away by his expertise in the area and very much appreciated that he went over every little detail with me - good and bad (and answered about a billion question I had for him). In addition to the report, he also gave us tips on how we can continue to maintain the home and how to prevent future issues. I HIGHLY recommend Blackland Home Inspection!!!read more

This is the SECOND time we've used Blackland because the first time was so amazing and eye opening. Our first house... turned into a real disappointment, but without Blackland's knowledge and skills, we would have never known about the money pit we were about to purchase! We learned so much about what to look for when looking for homes to buy!
Our second time using them was great! As homebuyers we were able to view homes and pick out potential problems before trying to put a contract on house because of how thorough Blackland Explained the inspection report during our first experience! The second time they were friendly and thorough again! They are very good at explaining the inspection report in terms a "non-inspector" can understand. WITH PICTURES! Anyways, we finally purchased our first home and a lot of that confidence to push forward came from our thorough inspection.read more

I want to take a moment and tell you why you should choose Blackland. From picking up the phone to ask them if they... could inspect my wife’s and my first home to writing this review, every single step with them was absolutely wonderful. They explained the different packages with no pressure (You MUST take them up on septic inspection and carpenter ant inspection). They explained that they do a free concierge service that transfers all your utility providers FOR YOU! Water, electric, cable, you name it. They shop the lowest prices as well. I have zero affiliation with this company other than being a loyal customer from this point on. Blackland Home Inspections for the win!read more

I have used Blackland Home Inspectors twice now. I feel like I received a very thorough inspection both times. Clay and... Brittany were both honest and well versed in their trade. I felt very comfortable in making a decision when purchasing my home.
Julie was also so easy to work with and answer any questions on the phone.
I would defiantly recommend this company.read more

Highly recommended! We went under our option contract on a Tuesday with a holiday weekend approaching. Clayton was able... to accommodate our inspection even though he was already booked. He offered to stay late to insure everything was properly inspected and boy was it! He is extremely thorough and did an outstanding job locating all repairs needed. My husband and I are first time home buyers and Clayton took his time explaining our end report and gave us advice on how to repair the small fixes ourselves. We cannot recommend Clayton and Blackland enough. Truly great inspection and good people! Will use again in the future.read more
