Professional WDO reporting requires a detailed visual inspection of accessible structural components, crawl spaces, attics, basements, and other areas vulnerable to wood destroying organisms. Property owners should provide unrestricted access so inspectors can thoroughly evaluate all accessible sections of the building.

Qualified inspectors document visible evidence of infestation, damage, moisture conditions, and factors contributing to wood deterioration. A comprehensive written report summarizes findings, identifies affected areas, and recommends appropriate treatments or repairs that help protect the property's structural integrity and long term value.
