Newark Water Damage Inspections

One significant fact we’ve learned from our 13+ years of experience in business is that water damage can generate an immense degree of damage in a short timeframe. That’s why it’s so essential to perform a Newark water damage inspection if your property has recently fallen victim to flooding or plumbing mishaps. The quicker you pinpoint the exact whereabouts and extent of water damage, the sooner you can take corrective steps. 

Here at Linkhorn Home Inspector, we perform top-notch inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout the Newark area. We’re grateful to be locally owned and operated in Greater Columbus – we’ve considered this area home since we were established in 2007.

During that time, we’ve assisted many clients with measuring the property’s water damage, whether they’re making a real estate purchase or simply looking to do maintenance or repair work. 

Our professional inspectors will evaluate the following locations and more: 

• Attic
• Basement
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Plumbing and below sinks
• Hot water tank or boiler
• Ceilings and drywall
• Heater and ducts 

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

• Shingles and roof
• Eaves and gutters
• Garage
• Sheds and storage areas

How Do Inspectors Identify Water Damage? 

• Watermarks or wet spots on the ceiling: Water stains left on the ceiling usually indicate a pipe leak or damaged roofing.
• Spotted walls and flaking drywall: Drywall has to stay as dry as possible. But when it’s exposed to water, it can warp and rot in time. Remain vigilant for yellow or brown discoloration and marks or stripping wallpaper or paint.
• Mildew or mold: Mildewy walls can mean that there’s a major issue. There may be a leaky pipe that’s that’s damaging the drywall and insulation.
• Warping floorboards: Warped flooring can indicate a high level of moisture below the floorboards or an issue with your home’s foundation.
• Rust stains: Seeing rust can be a symptom of moisture exposure over an extended period.
• Unusual odors: A dank smell can be a symptom of unsatisfactory ventilation and more.
