What does a home inspection in Lima include?
Bob approaches every Lima inspection per ASHI and InterNACHI Standards of Practice. With 1950s–1990s housing stock dominant in Lima, Bob pays particular attention to the era-specific issues that affect post-war and mid-century construction in Delaware County.
Post-War Foundations & Construction Shortcuts
Post-war homes were built rapidly to meet housing demand, sometimes with thinner foundation walls and simplified construction methods. Bob checks for settlement cracks, insufficient rebar in block foundations, and the shortcuts that characterized mass-produced housing of this era — including minimal crawlspace clearance.
Asbestos Pipe Wrap, Galvanized Plumbing & Undersized Panels
This era's homes frequently contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, and duct tape. Bob also evaluates galvanized steel plumbing — which corrodes from the inside after 50-70 years, reducing water pressure and quality — and electrical panels that may be undersized for modern demands (60-100 amp services).
Asphalt Roofing & Cape Cod Ventilation Problems
Post-war homes introduced mass-produced asphalt shingles that have been replaced at least once by now. Bob inspects current roofing condition and pays particular attention to Cape Cod and split-entry designs where inadequate attic ventilation creates ice dam risks and premature roof failure.
Asbestos Floor Tiles, Original Windows & Insulation Gaps
9x9-inch floor tiles are a telltale sign of asbestos-containing materials common in 1940s–1960s homes. Bob documents these conditions alongside original single-pane windows, insufficient wall insulation, and early drywall installations that may mask underlying moisture issues.
How does mold testing work in Lima?
Post-war homes from the 1940s–1960s are among the most common properties Bob tests for mold. Their combination of aging plumbing, minimal waterproofing, and early HVAC systems creates multiple moisture pathways.
Galvanized plumbing pinhole leaks inside walls creating hidden moisture damage
Undersized or absent bathroom exhaust fans allowing humidity to accumulate
Cape Cod and split-level designs with condensation-prone attic kneewall spaces
Original basement floor drains connected to deteriorating clay or cast iron lines
Clear Results & Honest Recommendations
Bob walks you through exactly what the lab results mean — no jargon, no panic. All samples go to a PRO-LAB certified lab with results in 2-3 days. Mold testing starts at $275.
What are common issues in Lima homes?
Based on 20+ years inspecting post-war and mid-century homes in Delaware County, these are the issues Bob finds most often in Lima's 1950s–1990s housing stock:
- Asbestos in 9x9 floor tiles, pipe insulation, and boiler components
- Galvanized steel plumbing with internal corrosion reducing water pressure
- Undersized electrical panels (60-100 amp) unable to support modern loads
- Poor attic ventilation in Cape Cod designs causing ice dams and moisture damage
- Original single-pane windows with failed glazing and air infiltration
- Basement moisture from minimal or absent exterior waterproofing
