Canal Winchester Water Damage Inspections

One crucial piece of information we’ve learned from the 13+ years of experience we’ve had in the field is this: water damage can create a huge amount of damage in a short period of time. That’s why it’s so important to schedule a Canal Winchester water damage inspection if your property has recently fallen prey to plumbing mishaps or flooding. The quicker you identify the whereabouts and intensity of water damage, the earlier you can begin remediation. 

At Linkhorn Home Inspector, we offer top-quality inspection services for homes and commercial properties throughout the Canal Winchester vicinity. We’re pleased to be locally based in Greater Columbus – we’ve called this land home since we were established back in 2007.

Since that time, we’ve helped many clients measure their property’s water damage, whether they’re looking to buy or sell or would like to do repairs. 

Our inspection staff will appraise the following areas of your property: 

• Attic
• Basement
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Below sinks and plumbing
• Boiler or hot water tank
• Walls and ceilings
• Ductwork and furnace 

The outside of a home is also important, so inspectors will review the following:

• Roof and shingles
• Gutters, eaves, and soffits
• Garage
• Storage areas and sheds

How Do Our Inspectors Discover Water Damage? 

• Watermarks or wet spots on the ceiling: Water stains on the ceiling usually indicate drippy pipes or roof leaks.
• Spotted walls and flakey drywall: The drywall has to be dry. But when it’s exposed to moisture, it can actually begin to distort and warp over time. Stay vigilant for yellow-brown stains or ribboning paint or wallpaper.
• Mold or mildew: Mildew on walls can mean that there’s a major problem. You may have a leaky pipe that is saturating the drywall and insulation.
• Distorted floors: Lumpy floors can point to excess moisture underneath the floorboards or a problem with the home’s foundation.
• Rust stains: Rust can be a symptom of water exposure over an extended period of time.
• Unpleasant odors: A musky odor can suggest insufficient ventilation.
