Pest and WDO inspection in Lewiston is the structural check that the homeowners, the buyers, and the property managers need. The city sits in the river valley where the carpenter ant is the leading structural concern, and the crawl-space homes and the timbered properties have the moisture issues that need the checking. The inspection covers the termites, the carpenter ants, the powderpost beetles, the wood rot, and the moisture damage, and the report is the written document that the banks and the closing attorneys require.

What the inspection covers in Lewiston

  • The termite inspection — the mud tubes, the shed wings, the damaged wood, the soil conditions.
  • The carpenter ant inspection — the sawdust, the colony activity, the moisture damage.
  • The powderpost beetle inspection — the exit holes, the frass, the structural damage.
  • The wood rot and the fungi inspection — the moisture damage, the decay, the conducive conditions.
  • The rodent inspection — the droppings, the gnaw marks, the entry points, the nesting.
  • The moisture inspection — the leaks, the drainage, the humidity, the ventilation.

The valley factor

The Lewiston inspection has to cover the valley construction. The crawl-space homes sit in the termite territory, and the timbered homes have the carpenter ant and the moisture issues. The river valley moisture keeps the conditions favorable for the wood-destroying organisms.

The WDO inspection in Lewiston is the tool that catches the carpenter ant colony and the termite activity before they become the structural damage. The homes that run the annual inspection are the ones that find the problem when it is a treatment, not a repair.
