Galloway Water Damage Inspection

One important lesson we’ve taken to heart from the 13+ years of experience years since we opened is this: water damage can create a major amount of damage in a relatively short time. That’s why it’s so imperative to schedule a Galloway water damage inspection if your property has recently fallen prey to flooding or major plumbing issues. The speedier you identify the location and degree of water damage, the earlier you can take corrective measures. 

Here at Linkhorn Home Inspector, we specialize in top-notch inspections for homes and businesses throughout Galloway and the surrounding communities. We’re proud to be locally owned and operated in Greater Columbus – we’ve considered this area home ever since we were established back in 2007.

During that time, we’ve assisted countless clients with measuring water damage around their property, whether they’re making a real estate transaction or simply would like to do repairs. 

Our inspection crew will check these areas of your property: 

• Attic
• Crawl space or basement
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Plumbing and below sinks
• Boiler or water heater
• Ceilings and drywall
• Ductwork and furnace 

The exterior of a building is also important, so inspectors will investigate the following:

• Roof and roofline
• Eaves and gutters
• Garage
• Free-standing sheds

How Do Our Inspectors Identify Water Damage? 

• Wet spots on the ceiling or crown molding: Water stains left on the ceiling can indicate a pipe leak or damaged roofing.
• Discolored walls and flaking drywall: The drywall needs to stay dry. But when it’s exposed to water or moisture, it can actually begin to bend and rot. Keep an eye out for brown or yellow discoloration peeling wallpaper or paint.
• Mildew or mold: Mildew on walls may mean that there’s a serious underlying issue. It’s possible there’s a pipe leak that is soaking the insulation and drywall.
• Distorting: Warped floors could indicate too much moisture beneath the floorboards or an issue with the building’s foundation.
• Rusty spots: Seeing rust stains can be a symptom of exposure to moisture over an extended period of time.
• Unpleasant odors: A musky smell can signal weak ventilation.
