What NJ WDI/WDO Inspectors Do

WDI/WDO training focuses on recognizing wood-destroying activity, understanding conducive conditions, and reporting findings clearly. In the field, inspectors look for visible evidence, accessible areas, and conditions that increase risk—then document results in a standardized way.

  • Identifying termites and other wood-destroying insects (WDI)
  • Recognizing wood-destroying organisms (WDO) and moisture-driven risk conditions
  • Understanding inspection limitations (access, visibility, and concealed areas)
  • Writing clear findings and recommendations for further evaluation or treatment
  • Documenting conditions in a format commonly used in NJ transactions

Common Conditions You’ll Learn to Identify

  • Visible termite evidence (mud tubes, damaged wood, swarm indicators)
  • Conducive conditions: wood-to-soil contact, moisture intrusion, poor drainage
  • Basement, crawlspace, and garage risk patterns
  • Previous treatment evidence and areas requiring closer review
  • How to document limitations and inaccessible areas correctly
