Termite & Pest Inspection in Houston, TX

The cost of a termite inspection depends on the size of your home, its age, the foundation type, and how easy the crawl space and attic are to reach. Larger homes and properties with past pest history may take more time to inspect closely. Whether you need a standalone WDI inspection or a formal WDI report (a WDIR) for a VA loan or home sale can also affect the price.

We give free, upfront quotes so you know the price before we start. A free visual termite inspection also comes standard with every full home inspection, which is a simple way to add protection. Call 1-281-608-2200 or book online to get your free quote and pick a time that works for you.

• What does a termite inspection consist of?

  A termite inspection is a detailed visual check of your home for wood-destroying insects. Our inspector looks at the foundation, crawl space, attic, and wood throughout the house. We search for active termites, mud tubes, droppings, and wood damage, plus moisture problems that attract pests. In Houston, subterranean termites are common, so we pay close attention to the soil line and foundation. After the visit, you get a clear report that explains what we found and what it means for your home.

• How long does a termite inspection take?

  Most termite inspections take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the home. Larger houses, tight crawl spaces, and cluttered attics can add time because we inspect those areas by hand. We do not rush. Our goal is to check every area where termites and other wood-destroying insects hide, so you get an accurate picture of your home's condition.

• How much does a termite inspection cost in Houston?

  The cost depends on the size and age of your home, the foundation type, and how easy the crawl space and attic are to reach. We do not quote a flat price for every home because each one is different. Instead, we give you a free, upfront quote before any work begins. Keep in mind that a free visual termite inspection comes standard with every full home inspection, so you may already be covered if you book a full inspection.

• Do VA loans require a termite inspection?

  In many cases, yes. VA loans and some other home purchases often require a formal WDI report, sometimes called a WDIR, before closing. This report confirms whether wood-destroying insects are present and documents any damage. 3i Inspectors performs WDI inspections under the license of Pest Inspection Network, Inc., TPCL #783068, and can provide the formal report your lender needs. Call us if you are buying or refinancing a home in the Houston area and need this paperwork.

• How often should you get a termite inspection?

  Most experts suggest a termite inspection once a year, especially in humid areas like Houston where subterranean termites stay active much of the year. Yearly checks help you catch a small problem before it turns into costly wood damage. If you have had termites before, live near wooded land, or notice any warning signs like mud tubes or swarmers, you may want to inspect more often. We are happy to recommend a schedule that fits your home.

• What is the difference between a WDI inspection and termite treatment?

  A WDI inspection finds the problem, and treatment fixes it. Our wood-destroying insect inspection tells you whether termites or other pests are active in your home, where the damage is, and what conditions are drawing them in. We are an independent inspection company, so we report the facts without selling you treatment. If we find active pests, you will get a clear report and can choose how to handle it. This keeps our findings honest and free of any pressure to upsell.
