Why Inspections Matter for Gilbert Homes

About 62 percent of Gilbert’s 104,289 housing units were built in 2000 or later, and the median year built is 2004. Newer construction is still worth checking: Arizona’s warm soil keeps termites active year-round, and a colony can feed quietly for a long time before anything shows.
A real estate termite inspection in Gilbert is often tied to lender or contract requirements: FHA and VA lenders commonly ask for a WDIIR, and many Arizona purchase contracts call for one too. Even when nobody requires one, buyers see hidden conditions before closing, and sellers can list with more confidence. Catching activity early also keeps repairs smaller and easier to plan.

Speak to a real person, not a robo machine.

Termite Inspections Across Gilbert's Newer and Older Homes

Gilbert is a young town by housing age. Only about 3.8 percent of its housing units (3,977) were built before 1980, while about 24.7 percent (25,798) were built in the 1990s, so plenty of homes now have a few decades behind them. Older pockets exist too: College Park Country Estates, a neighborhood with no HOA, was developed in the mid to late 1970s.
Open space is part of daily life in town, from the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch (110 acres, 70 of them groundwater recharge basins) to Desert Sky Park, which opened in 2019 on Power Road with a lake in its first phase. Wherever your home sits, we pay close attention to moisture and any wood that touches soil, and we tailor the visit to the age and style of the house.

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
We walk the full outside of the property, looking at expansion joints, pipe penetrations, stucco weep screeds, the foundation, stem walls, and any spot where wood touches soil.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Indoors, we go through every reachable space, starting with kitchens and bathrooms, then closets, the garage, utility rooms, and anywhere pipes pass through. We look for damaged wood, mud tubes, and any sign of past or current activity.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
Where we can get in, we look over attic framing and crawl spaces for drywood termite signs and for moisture that draws subterranean termites.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
You get a clear written report covering any active infestation, past damage, and conditions that could invite termites later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
If we find activity, we explain your treatment options plainly. If your home is clear, we say so and leave it there.

Termite Inspection Options We Offer

Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report
WDIIR
Our wood destroying insect inspection in Gilbert is the standard report used in Arizona property transactions, sometimes called a termite clearance letter. It records whether termites, carpenter ants, or wood-boring beetles are present. Lenders and purchase contracts commonly call for it.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
A closer look for buyers who want to understand termite conditions before closing. It goes beyond the standard WDIIR with notes on conditions that favor future activity and ways to prevent it.

Annual Maintenance Inspection
A routine check for current owners who want to catch activity early. We suggest one each year for Arizona homes, especially those over 10 years old, near desert washes, or with mature landscaping.

Gilbert Home Inspectors and Realtors Can Count on Us

Many of our WDIIR reports begin with a referral instead of a call from the homeowner. Inspectors and agents in the East Valley bring us in to take care of the termite portion of a transaction while they manage the rest.

Home inspectors: you handle the roof, plumbing, wiring, and framing. We look for wood destroying insects and write the WDIIR under Arizona license #2317, so both reports finish together.

Realtors: whether it is a sale, a purchase, or a refinance, we time the WDIIR to your closing date and format the report for lenders and title companies.

Inspectors look for mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, and signs of past or current activity, plus moisture and wood touching soil that can invite termites. We check the exterior perimeter, accessible interior rooms, and the attic or crawl spaces where we can get in, then document what we find.
A licensed inspector walks the outside of your property, checks the accessible rooms indoors, and looks at attic framing and crawl spaces where possible. Afterward you receive a clear written report of what was found. If there is activity, we explain treatment options; if the home is clear, we tell you so.
Call when you are buying, selling, or refinancing, when you spot mud tubes, sticking doors, or soft wood around window frames, or when it has been over a year since your last inspection. A professional can confirm what is happening and explain the next steps clearly.
