WDO Termite Inspection Report in Hialeah, FL
- Included: a visual inspection of accessible interior, exterior, attic and crawl space areas, photos of any evidence found, notes on the moisture and entry conditions feeding it, and the completed Florida WDO report form emailed to you and to anyone you name.
- Timing: most Hialeah single-family inspections take 45 to 90 minutes on site, and the signed report is emailed the same day or the next business day.
- Cost: most Hialeah WDO reports run $250 to $550 depending on square footage, number of units and how much of the structure is accessible; $250 is the minimum charge for any inspection visit.
- What is looked at: framing, sills and door bucks, baseboards and window sills, attic trusses and sheathing, fascia and soffit, wood trim and mansard framing, water heater and A/C platforms, plus fences, sheds and attached patio structures when they are part of the assignment.
- Booking: call or text (239) 456-8046 with the address, the approximate square footage and your closing or refinance date, and you get a time window plus a flat price before anyone shows up.
A WDO report and a termite treatment are two different jobs, and picking the wrong one wastes your money. If a lender, realtor or title company asked for documentation — or you are selling a house near Bucky Dent Park and want to know what an inspector will write before a buyer's inspector writes it — the report is what you need. If you already found swarmer wings piled on a windowsill in East Hialeah and you just want the colony dealt with, go straight to treatment and skip the paperwork unless someone is requiring it. The honest trade-off: a WDO inspection is **visual and non-invasive**. Walls do not get opened, tile does not come up, and sealed or inaccessible areas get noted as inaccessible rather than cleared. It is an accurate picture of what can be seen on the day of the visit, not an X-ray of the structure.
Hialeah housing stock makes this inspection very specific. The 1950s-70s CBS block homes through West Hialeah, Melrose Park and the blocks around Hialeah Park Racing & Casino are masonry on the outside, but the attic trusses, roof sheathing, fascia boards and decorative mansard framing are wood — and that is where **drywood termites** get found most often, sometimes with nothing visible from inside the living room. Two-story houses in Palm Springs North, Country Club of Miami and along the Miami Lakes border area carry more interior wood framing and stairs, so those inspections take longer. In Palm Springs and the older duplexes near the Hialeah Market Tri-Rail Station, the recurring finding is **wood-decaying fungus**, not termites: a leaking A/C air handler closet, a water heater platform that stayed damp, or a slow supply line behind a kitchen cabinet. That is still a WDO condition and it still shows up on the form, so it is worth understanding before it surprises you at closing.
Every inspection here is done the same way the rest of our work is done — **find the entry point, then explain it in plain language**, in English or Spanish, by the same person who answered your phone call. You get told where the evidence is, what the moisture source appears to be, and whether it reads as old inactive damage or current activity. Florida requires WDO inspections and reports to be completed by a licensed inspector, so when you call we confirm the scope and who signs the form before the appointment is set, with no surprises after the fact. Nothing is applied during a WDO inspection, so there is no need to take the kids or the dog out of the house, and there is no monthly plan attached — it is a one-time visit with a one-time price.
Prices below are **ballparks based on typical Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens properties**. The exact figure is confirmed before we schedule, and if the structure turns out to be larger or more complex than described on the phone, you hear the revised number before any work starts. Homes in Lake Michelle and Hialeah Gardens with detached sheds, wood fences or screened patio framing usually add a little, since those structures get inspected too when they are included. For ongoing roach, ant or rodent work, see the main Hialeah pest control page — this page covers the inspection report only.
