Real Estate Termite Inspection — Quick Facts
Why WDO Report in Ontario?
High subterranean risk from agricultural soil history and irrigation.
Ontario 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 Ontario 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.
Peak termite swarm season in Ontario: March–May. Don't wait for visible damage — early treatment costs a fraction of structural repairs.
Inspector Note — Ontario
“Historic Ontario homes near Euclid Avenue often have original citrus-era irrigation channels converted to drainage beneath the property — these channels maintain chronic soil moisture and require special attention during the subterranean assessment.”

Termite Conditions in Ontario
Ontario is one of the Inland Empire's oldest cities, and its historic downtown district contains 1890s–1930s homes with original framing that carries significant drywood risk. More broadly, the city's agricultural soil history — once part of the Ontario Model Colony irrigation system — left a legacy of high soil moisture that sustains above-average subterranean termite pressure across virtually all residential areas, including newer development built on former grove land.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does real estate termite inspection cost in Ontario?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Ontario 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 Ontario?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Ontario takes approximately 45–90 minutes. You do not need to leave your home during treatment. We schedule promptly and work around your availability.

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.
