The Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report (WDIIR) is a form utilized in Arizona to document the inspection of properties for wood-destroying insects. This report is essential for transactions such as sales and refinances, ensuring that potential infestations are identified and addressed. Only certified applicators are authorized to complete this form, which helps protect both buyers and sellers by providing a clear assessment of the property's condition.
The WDIIR Arizona form, formally known as the Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report, is a crucial document utilized in real estate transactions to assess properties for infestations by wood-destroying insects such as termites. This form is required by the Arizona Department of Agriculture and must be completed by a certified applicator. It serves multiple purposes, including providing a detailed account of the inspection process, listing any visible evidence of insect activity, and documenting the condition of the property. Key sections of the form include information on the property owner, inspection company, and the specific details of the inspection, such as areas that were inaccessible or obstructed. The inspector is tasked with identifying any visible signs of infestation, the type of insects found, and any damage observed. If treatment is necessary, the form also outlines the control measures taken and any warranties provided. Furthermore, the WDIIR Arizona form includes a section for conditions conducive to infestation, which helps in understanding potential risks for future infestations. By ensuring that all relevant information is captured, this form plays a vital role in protecting property buyers and sellers from the consequences of wood-destroying insect damage.
