It is virtually impossible to perform a proper home inspection without a Structural Pest Inspector License ( SPI ) in Washington State

Do I need to be licensed as a Structural Pest Inspector (SPI)?

(1) Are you conducting inspections for potential or proposed real estate transactions?

(2) Are you inspecting for or reporting on the presence or absence of any of the following?  termites  carpenter or moisture ants  wood infesting beetles  wood rot (fungus) (3) Are you inspecting for or reporting on damage by any wood destroying organisms (WDO)?

(4) Are you inspecting for or reporting on any of the following conditions?  soil in direct contact with wood  wooden or other conducive debris under or near the structure  water in a structure from poor drainage or a plumbing leak  failed caulk or grout at water splash areas  inadequate clearances such as may be found in a crawl space  restricted or failing gutter systems  inadequate ventilation causing excessive moisture in wood  vegetation in contact with the structure.

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above related to wood destroying INSECTS, their damage or conditions conducive to their infestation, YOU need to be licensed as a SPI. Once licensed as a SPI, you must also report on any wood rot damage you find as well as conditions conducive to its development.

Note: The Department of Licensing administers a Home Inspector license that requires wood rot and conducive conditions to be reported during an inspection. A Home Inspector cannot report on wood destroying insects unless they are licensed as an SPI.

Structural Pest Inspector ( SPI ) Licensing is thoroughly covered in our class

1 ) We will cover all aspects of structural pest inspections.

2 ) We will demonstrate state of the art ( SPI ) software. WDI.F/X 

3 ) We will cover all the procedures to obtain your ( SPI ) License
