Inspector Note — San Dimas
“San Dimas equestrian properties often have wood fencing and barn structures built from untreated Douglas fir — these are frequently the first points of infestation and can act as reservoirs that reinfest the main structure.”

Termite Conditions in San Dimas
San Dimas sits at the western base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and canyon runoff from Puddingstone Reservoir and the San Dimas Canyon corridor creates moisture conditions that elevate subterranean termite risk in foothill-adjacent neighborhoods. The city's equestrian-zoned areas and rural residential properties include wood corrals and outbuildings that carry additional soil-contact infestation risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does real estate termite inspection cost in San Dimas?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in San Dimas 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 San Dimas?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in San Dimas 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 San Dimas home?
Real Estate Termite Inspection is best suited for both drywood and subterranean termite problems. San Dimas 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.

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.
