Real Estate Termite Inspection — Quick Facts
Why WDO Report in Lynwood?
Dense older southeast LA housing, high drywood activity in aging stock.
Lynwood real estate transactions move quickly, and lenders require a clean WDO report to close. Our inspectors specialize in real estate inspections and understand escrow timelines — we provide same-week turnaround with reports formatted for all California lenders.
All real estate termite inspection services in Lynwood are performed by our CA-licensed inspector (License #PR7791) and come with a written report, warranty documentation, and a free inspection before any treatment is recommended.
Inland real estate WDO inspections often uncover subterranean termite mud tube activity and drywood infestations in attic framing. Our reports clearly distinguish between Section 1 and Section 2 findings to facilitate accurate escrow negotiations. Older homes in real estate transactions often have both Section 1 and Section 2 findings that require careful documentation. Our detailed reports help all parties understand the scope of required treatment and repair, facilitating smoother escrow negotiations.
Peak termite swarm season in Lynwood: April–June. Don't wait for visible damage — early treatment costs a fraction of structural repairs.
Inspector Note — Lynwood
“Lynwood bungalows from the 1940s–1950s frequently have original wood attic vents that have never been replaced — these are primary drywood entry points and should be noted as a priority finding.”

Termite Conditions in Lynwood
Lynwood's housing stock dates primarily from the 1930s–1960s, and the city's dense residential fabric carries high drywood termite pressure from aging attic and eave assemblies. The proximity to the Dominguez Channel and the industrial corridor along Long Beach Boulevard means subterranean conditions are elevated near the city's western and southern edges, where drainage infrastructure maintains persistent soil moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does real estate termite inspection cost in Lynwood?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Lynwood typically costs $295 flat fee. The exact price depends on the size of your home, the extent of infestation, and accessibility. We provide free on-site inspections with a no-obligation written estimate before any work begins.
How long does real estate termite inspection take in Lynwood?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Lynwood takes approximately 45–90 minutes. You do not need to leave your home during treatment. We schedule promptly and work around your availability.
Is real estate termite inspection the right choice for my Lynwood home?
Real Estate Termite Inspection is best suited for both drywood and subterranean termite problems. Lynwood homes face year-round termite pressure from both species. After your free inspection, our licensed inspector will confirm whether this is the right treatment for your specific situation.

Yes — Ultimate Termite serves all neighborhoods in Lynwood and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles County. Whether you're near the center of Lynwood or on the outskirts, we can schedule a free inspection and treatment promptly. Call (714) 240-2800 or schedule online.
What is a Section 1 vs Section 2 finding?
Section 1 findings are active infestations and directly caused damage that typically must be remediated before close of escrow. Section 2 findings are conditions conducive to future infestation (earth-wood contact, moisture, etc.) that are disclosed but often negotiated between buyer and seller.
How quickly can I get a WDO report?
We typically complete the inspection within 24 hours of scheduling and deliver the written report to escrow within 24–48 hours of the inspection.
Is a WDO report required to sell a home in California?
Not legally required by the state, but required by most lenders (including VA and FHA), and strongly recommended for seller disclosure. Many purchase contracts specify a WDO report as a contingency.
Does the $295 go toward treatment?
The real estate WDO inspection fee is separate from our free residential inspection. If treatment is booked following the WDO report, we provide a competitive treatment quote — the $295 inspection fee is not credited toward treatment.
