The GA WIIR Benchmark
We verify that listed specialists demonstrate adherence to the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report standards. This process targets the identification of subterranean termites, powder post beetles, and wood-decaying fungi.
Primary Vulnerability Zones

- Floor Joists: Density analysis of support timber.
- Header Beams: Main structural spans.
- Sub-Floor Decking: Crawlspace integrity checks.
