Frequently Asked Questions
How much does real estate termite inspection cost in Riverside?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Riverside 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 Riverside?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Riverside 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 Riverside home?
Real Estate Termite Inspection is best suited for both drywood and subterranean termite problems. Riverside 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.
Do you offer real estate termite inspection throughout all of Riverside?
Yes — Ultimate Termite serves all neighborhoods in Riverside and the surrounding areas of Riverside County. Whether you're near the center of Riverside 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.
