WDO Inspections in Pinecrest, FL
Buying, selling, or refinancing in Pinecrest? A WDO inspection gives you a documented look at accessible parts of the structure before you make a closing decision. At Dade Pest Solutions, we inspect for reportable wood-destroying organisms and document what we observe in the official Florida Form DACS-13645 report. Pinecrest is home to public parks and Pinecrest Gardens, whose official village publication describes 12 acres of native forested wetland, tropical hardwood hammock, and native cypress gardens. That local setting is part of what makes the community distinctive, but it is not proof that any particular property has WDO activity. The right next step is a property-specific inspection, not an assumption.

An inspection is not a treatment
A WDO inspection is an evaluation and reporting service. We examine accessible interior and exterior areas, including the attic, garage, crawl spaces when accessible, and other portions of the structure for evidence of subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. We record relevant observations with notes and photos and identify the location and apparent extent of findings when evidence is present. Areas that cannot be accessed should be identified in the report so the recipient understands the inspection’s limits.
If the inspection identifies WDO activity or conditions that need attention, I will explain the findings and provide treatment recommendations and a separate quote. Treatment is not automatically included just because an inspection was ordered. Depending on the organism, location, extent, and access, the next step may involve a targeted treatment, tent fumigation, tentless termite treatment, or moisture-related remediation. The recommendation should follow the findings rather than precede them.
Report acceptance and warranty questions
The report is intended to support a real estate or property decision, but acceptance is determined by the party receiving it. Before scheduling, ask your lender, title company, closing agent, buyer, or seller representative whether they require a current FDACS Form DACS-13645, a particular delivery date, additional inspection areas, or follow-up documentation. FDACS lists Form 13645 as the Wood-Destroying Organisms Inspection Report and identifies Termite and Other Wood-Destroying Organisms Control as a pest-control certification category.
An inspection report is not a warranty that a property is free of WDOs, and it does not create a treatment warranty. It describes observable conditions at the time of inspection within accessible areas. If treatment is later authorized, ask for the written treatment scope, organisms covered, follow-up terms, exclusions, and any warranty or renewal conditions before work begins. I want Pinecrest property owners and transaction professionals to know exactly which document they are receiving and which protections, if any, apply to later treatment.
What to prepare before contacting us
- Confirm with your lender or closing professional which WDO report and timing they require.
- Provide access to the interior, attic, garage, crawl spaces, and exterior areas to be inspected.
- Share known leaks, repairs, prior termite work, and areas that may be inaccessible before the visit.
Service scope: WDO inspection covers accessible structural areas and evidence of termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. It is an inspection and report, not automatic treatment or a guarantee that no WDO activity exists. Treatment, remediation, and any warranty require separate written terms.
Local service questions
Does a Pinecrest WDO inspection include termite treatment?
No. The inspection documents accessible evidence of termites and other wood-destroying organisms and provides the Florida Form DACS-13645 report. If findings require action, we explain treatment options and provide a separate quote for any authorized work.
Will every lender or title company accept the WDO report?
Acceptance depends on the recipient’s current requirements. Ask your lender, title company, closing agent, buyer, or seller representative about the required form, timing, access conditions, and any follow-up documents before the inspection.
Does a WDO inspection come with a warranty?
An inspection is not a warranty that no WDO activity exists, and it does not include a treatment warranty. If you authorize treatment, review the separate written scope, covered organisms, exclusions, follow-up terms, and warranty conditions before work begins.
Public sources and their scope
Local context is not a diagnosis of your property. These sources explain the geographic context or general guidance used here.
- Village of Pinecrest, Pinecrest Sun March 2020 (opens in new tab)
Official Village publication identifies Pinecrest’s public parks and describes Pinecrest Gardens as a 12-acre site containing native forested wetland, tropical hardwood hammock, and native cypress gardens. This supports local geographic and environmental context only, not a claim about infestation risk at any property.
- Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Forms (opens in new tab)
FDACS lists the Wood-Destroying Organisms Inspection Report as Form 13645. This supports naming the official Florida report form.
- FDACS Pest Control Licensing and Certification (opens in new tab)
FDACS states that structural pest-control businesses must be licensed and identifies Termite and Other Wood-Destroying Organisms Control as a certification category. This supports the regulatory context for WDO work, not a separate claim about this company’s current license status.
