Dade Pest Solutions | Kendall, Florida
WDO Inspections in Kendall, FL
Buying, selling, or refinancing in Kendall? A WDO inspection can give your lender, title company, and closing team a documented view of visible wood-destroying organism findings at the property. Dade Pest Solutions serves Kendall within Miami-Dade County and completes the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Form DACS-13645. The important distinction is that an inspection report documents what was visible and readily accessible on the inspection date. It is not a promise that hidden activity or damage does not exist, and it is not a structural-soundness report. Kendall is identified by Miami-Dade County through its Area 12 Kendall community council. That geographic reference helps define where service is requested, but it is not evidence of pest activity at a particular home.

What a Kendall WDO report can show
Our inspection scope follows the service page: accessible interior and exterior areas, attic, crawl space, and garage areas are examined for termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. Findings can include live organisms, evidence such as frass or shelter tubes, visible damage, observed obstructions, and signs of previous treatment. The FDACS form also records where access was limited, so your transaction team can see the boundaries of the inspection.
A useful report gives the transaction team specific information rather than a general statement about the neighborhood. It identifies the inspected property, inspection date, inspector and company information, observed organism or evidence, and the location and description of visible damage when applicable. If stored items, finishes, insulation, locked areas, or other conditions prevent visibility, those limitations should remain part of the record. Ask your closing team how it wants inaccessible areas handled before the appointment.
The report can also distinguish a current observation from evidence of prior treatment. That distinction matters when a buyer or lender asks what was found, what was visible, and what documentation may still be needed. A WDO inspection does not determine the market value of the property or replace a home inspection. If visible damage raises a structural question, a qualified building professional should evaluate it.
Findings are not the same as lender acceptance
A completed DACS-13645 report is useful transaction documentation, but acceptance is decided by the lender, title company, insurer, or other recipient under its own current requirements. Before scheduling, ask who must receive the report, whether a particular inspection date window or follow-up is required, and how the recipient handles visible evidence, prior treatment, inaccessible areas, or recommended repairs. We can document findings and explain the report, but we cannot guarantee that every lender will accept every report or waive additional conditions.
If a report states that no visible signs were observed, that conclusion still applies to the areas that were visible and readily accessible at the time of inspection. It should not be rewritten as a guarantee that no WDOs or hidden damage exist. Conversely, a finding of evidence or visible damage does not by itself tell a lender what repairs, treatment, or additional review it will require. The recipient makes that decision under its current underwriting or closing process.
If the report identifies WDO activity or damage, we can discuss treatment recommendations and a separate quote. Ask your lender or closing agent whether it needs a treatment invoice, completion documentation, another inspection, or a specific warranty document. Any structural evaluation, concealed-damage investigation, moisture diagnosis beyond wood-decaying fungi, or repair decision belongs with an appropriately qualified building or construction professional.
What to prepare before contacting us
- Ask your lender or closing agent for its report, timing, and follow-up requirements.
- Provide access to the interior, exterior, attic, crawl space, and garage areas that need inspection.
- Move stored items that block visibility and share any prior treatment records or access limitations.
Service scope: This service is a WDO inspection and report, not a guarantee of an organism-free property, a structural inspection, or an indoor-air-quality or general fungi evaluation. Findings are limited by visibility and access.
Local service questions
Does a Kendall WDO report guarantee lender acceptance?
No. A Florida Form DACS-13645 documents the inspection and its visible findings, but the lender, title company, insurer, or other recipient decides whether it meets current transaction requirements. Confirm those requirements before the inspection.
What if the report finds evidence but no live termites?
The report can separately describe live WDOs, evidence, and visible damage. Evidence or damage may still matter to your transaction even when live activity is not observed. Ask the recipient whether treatment, documentation, or a follow-up inspection is required.
Can a WDO inspection confirm hidden damage or structural safety?
No. The FDACS form is based on visible, readily accessible areas and is not a structural damage report. Hidden areas and structural soundness may require further investigation by qualified building or construction professionals.
