WDO inspections and CL-100 reports for South Carolina property transactions. We schedule around your closing timeline and turn the report around on time.
A CL-100 Wood Destroying Insect Report documents whether wood-destroying insects or existing damage were found on a property. In South Carolina it is typically required to close a home sale.
Timing is usually the pressure point. We schedule around your closing date, inspect thoroughly rather than quickly, and give you a report that clearly states what was found and what it means for the transaction.

Quick answers on what a CL-100 covers, who usually pays for it, and what happens if the inspection finds something.
A Wood Destroying Insect Report documenting whether wood-destroying insects or existing damage were found. Typically required to close a South Carolina home sale.
Termites, powderpost beetles, old house borers and wood-destroying fungi, plus visible damage and conditions conducive to infestation.
The report states it clearly. Treatment and repair are usually negotiated between buyer and seller, and we can carry out the treatment side.
We work around closing dates. Call with your timeline and we will tell you honestly what we can do rather than promise a date we cannot hold.
The CL-100 is a South Carolina specific form, and it is the standard wood destroying insect report for residential transactions in this state. Lenders and closing attorneys commonly require it, and a delayed or incomplete report holds up closings.
Because the Midlands is a high risk area for subterranean termites, and because most local housing stock is crawl space construction, these inspections find things often enough that the timing matters. Scheduling early gives everyone room to negotiate treatment before the closing date.
A proper WDO inspection covers more than a walk around the outside of the house.
Access matters. Crawl space entry needs to be clear, and blocked access limits what the report can cover, which is worth arranging before we arrive.
That varies by transaction and is usually negotiated between buyer and seller. Call us with your situation and we will quote the inspection either way.
Validity periods are set by the transaction and the lender rather than by us. If your closing moves, call and we will tell you whether a re-inspection is needed.
Appointment length depends on the treatment and property. Our team will explain what to expect, provide an arrival window, and call on the way.
Modern uses low-toxicity, professional products and follows service-specific safety requirements. Some treatments require people or pets to stay out of treated areas until the materials are dry or for a specified period.
