Delaware Water Damage

One critical fact we’ve taken to heart from the 13+ years of experience we’ve been operational is that water damage can lead to an incredible amount of damage in a relatively short time. That’s why it’s essential to get a water damage inspection in Delaware if your property has recently endured plumbing problems or flooding. The quicker you confirm the exact location and intensity of water damage, the earlier you can start remediation. 

At Linkhorn Home Inspector, we offer top-notch inspections for homes and businesses throughout Delaware and the surrounding area. We’re pleased to be locally based in Greater Columbus – we’ve considered this land home ever since we were first founded in 2007.

In that time, we’ve assisted numerous clients with assessing water damage around their property, whether they’re pursuing a real estate purchase or would like to do maintenance and repairs. 

Our inspection crew will appraise the following locations and more: 

• Attic
• Crawl space and basement
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Below sinks and plumbing
• Hot water tank or boiler
• Drywall and ceilings
• Heater and ductwork 

The exterior of a building is also vital so that inspectors will review the following:

• Shingles and roof
• Gutters, soffits, and eaves
• Garage
• Storage areas and sheds

How Do Our Inspectors Discover Water Damage? 

• Watermarks or wet spots on the ceiling or crown molding: Water marks left on the ceiling typically indicate a plumbing leak or damaged shingles.
• Speckled walls and flakey drywall: Drywall is meant to stay dry. When it’s exposed to water, it can begin to warp and rot in time. Keep vigilant for yellow-brown discoloration or ribboning paint.
• Mildew or mold: Mildewy walls may mean that there’s a serious underlying issue. There could be a leaky pipe that’s soaking the insulation and drywall.
• Warping floorboards: Bumpy floors can be a symptom of too much moisture below the floorboards or an issue with the home’s foundation.
• Rust: Seeing rust stains can be a symptom of exposure to moisture for a while.
• Unusual odors: A musky smell can indicate unsatisfactory ventilation among other things.
