Granville Water Damage Inspections

One significant lesson we’ve learned from our 13+ years of experience in the field is the following: water damage can create a major amount of damage shockingly quickly. That’s why it’s important to get a Granville water damage inspection if your property has recently endured flooding or major plumbing problems. The sooner you determine the exact whereabouts and amount of water damage, the earlier you can take correct actions. 

Here at Linkhorn Home Inspector, we administer best-in-class inspection services for homes and businesses throughout the Granville vicinity. We’re honored to be locally owned and operated in Greater Columbus – we’ve called this area home since we opened our doors in 2007.

During that time, we’ve helped numerous clients measure their property’s water damage, whether they’re the property or simply need maintenance and repairs. 

Our inspection staff will appraise these locations: 

• Attic
• Crawl space and basement
• Bathrooms and kitchens
• Below sinks and plumbing
• Boiler or hot water tank
• Walls and ceilings
• Heater and ductwork 

A building’s exterior is also critical, so inspectors will look at the following:

• Roof and roofline
• Eaves and gutters
• Garage
• Shed

How Do Inspectors Find Water Damage? 

• Water stains on the ceiling or crown molding: Water marks on the ceiling typically indicate a leaky pipe or damaged roofing.
• Stained walls and cracking drywall: Drywall should always be dry at all times. But when it’s exposed to water, it can start to warp and mold in time. Keep an eye out for yellow-brown discoloration and stains in addition to ribboning paint.
• Mold: Mildew on walls can indicate that there’s a serious underlying issue. It could mean you have a leaky pipe that’s affecting your drywall and insulation.
• Distorted floorboards: Lumpy flooring can be indicative of excess moisture beneath the floorboards or an issue with your home’s foundation.
• Rusty spots: Rust can be indicative of exposure to water over an extended period.
• Bad odors: A mildewy odor may suggest weak ventilation among other things.
