WDI Inspection in Roswell, GA

Licensed Georgia Wood Infestation Reports. One Team for Inspection & Treatment.

Georgia’s humid subtropical climate puts Roswell properties under constant pressure from subterranean termites and other wood-destroying organisms. For most real estate transactions, documenting that a property is free of active infestation isn’t optional. Lenders and closing attorneys require it. HonorGuard serves Roswell and surrounding Fulton County communities from our Atlanta-area office, performing official Georgia WDI inspections and handling any required treatment in-house to help keep your transaction on schedule.

We’ve been licensed and insured in Georgia since 2004. When an inspection reveals a problem, you won’t need to coordinate with a second company. Our team inspects, treats, and reissues the report under one roof.

Georgia’s Official Wood Infestation Report: Form 100

Georgia uses its own state-mandated document for real estate WDI reporting. The nationally circulated NPMA-33 form isn’t accepted by Georgia lenders or closing attorneys. The only document Georgia recognizes is the Official Wood Infestation Report on state Form 100, issued by a company licensed through the Georgia Department of Agriculture in the category of wood-destroying organisms.

Form 100 covers five categories of wood-destroying organisms: subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, powder post beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. The report distinguishes between active infestation and prior damage, identifies areas that were inaccessible at the time of inspection, and must be signed by a licensed Wood Destroying Organism company. It doesn’t cover general household pests such as cockroaches, rodents, or ants.

One detail that catches buyers and sellers off guard: a Georgia WDIR is valid for 30 days from the date it’s signed. Order it too early and it can expire before closing. Plan accordingly when you schedule.

When a WDI Report Is Required in Georgia

VA and FHA loans typically require a WDIR as a condition of loan approval. That requirement comes from the lender, not Georgia state law. As of June 2022, VA guidelines allow either party to pay for the inspection. Conventional mortgages usually require a report as well, though requirements vary by lender and loan program.

Cash buyers face no legal mandate to obtain a WDIR, but skipping it in Georgia carries real risk. Homeowners insurance doesn’t typically cover termite damage, and Georgia ranks among the highest-pressure states in the country for subterranean termite activity. A few hundred dollars at closing is modest compared to the cost of undisclosed structural damage discovered after the deed transfers.

In most traditional transactions, the purchase agreement assigns inspection costs to the seller. Confirm payment responsibility with your real estate agent before scheduling.

Why Roswell Buyers, Sellers & Agents Choose HonorGuard

HonorGuard is a family-owned company founded in 2004. Nearly two decades of working across the Southeast means our technicians understand the termite pressures specific to North Georgia’s clay-heavy soils and wooded residential neighborhoods. We aren’t a national franchise routing calls through a call center. Our Roswell-area office handles scheduling, inspections, and treatment locally.

One Team for Inspection & Treatment

If we find an active infestation, we treat it. Georgia requires the issuing pest control company to perform treatment before a new Form 100 can be issued. When inspection and treatment come from the same licensed team, that process can move faster. We use liquid soil barriers and the Sentricon System, and we provide detailed service documentation after every visit so buyers, sellers, and agents have a clear written record of what was found and what was done.

Our free estimate offer and 100% satisfaction guarantee apply from the first call. If you have questions about what the inspection covers or how findings might affect your timeline, call before you schedule. We can give you a straight answer.
