Termite Inspections for Home Sales in Kansas City: NPMA-33 / WDI Reports

Buying or selling a home in the Kansas City area usually means a wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection, reported on the standard NPMA-33 form. VA loans commonly require one; FHA and conventional lenders frequently ask for one. Confirm with the lender on the file, because the requirement comes from the loan, not the state.

We inspect the accessible areas of the structure for evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects — mud tubes, damaged wood, swarmer wings, frass — and for the conditions that invite them: wood-to-soil contact, moisture, grading and crawlspace issues. You get a completed NPMA-33 and a plain explanation of what it says. What the NPMA-33 report actually says →

If we find active termites, you get a straight answer on what treatment involves and a written quote, so the deal can keep moving. Treatment comes with our 5-year retreatment warranty.

Real Estate Termite Inspections — Common Questions

Who usually orders the termite inspection?+

Usually the buyer's side, because the lender wants it, but sellers sometimes order one up front so there are no surprises. Either way, the report is the same NPMA-33 form.

Is a WDI inspection the same as a full home inspection?+

No. A WDI inspection looks only for evidence of wood-destroying insects and conducive conditions. It does not cover structure, roof, mechanical systems or anything a general home inspector checks.

What happens if the report shows termites?+

We explain what we found and what treatment involves, and give a written quote. Who pays is part of the negotiation between buyer and seller; we just make sure everyone is working from the same facts.

Is the home-sale termite report free?+

Routine termite inspections are free, but the NPMA-33 report for a home sale is a separate service, quoted when you call.

Does the termite warranty transfer to a new owner?+

Yes. The 5-year retreatment warranty can transfer to a new owner when the house is sold. Before it transfers, we inspect the house. Call or text (913) 738-7827 to set that up.

What does the inspection look at?+

The accessible areas of the house: foundation, basement or crawlspace, garage, attic access, and the exterior at grade. We note mud tubes, damaged wood, swarmer wings and the moisture or wood-to-soil conditions that attract termites.
