How are the limestone buildings in historic Dublin handled?

The 1820s to 1880s buildings in the historic village are limestone and frame, with cellars and sills of their age. The inspector reads the joint between the masonry and the wood by hand, and records any mud tube, any soft wood and any gap.

Historic buildings are important to the owner and the village, and the inspector recommends any change for the owner to decide rather than making it.

What do the large subdivision homes need from the basement check?

The large homes on full poured basements have finished lower levels and sump pumps. The walls are checked where they are visible, the sill is read at the joint and the moisture is recorded at the lowest points.

Irrigation near the foundation is noted, because the watering schedule is part of the moisture condition the walk reads.

How are the two-storey homes sealed?

The two-storey homes have large roofs, attics and soffit vents, and their windows and doors are many. The sealing list is built around the vents and the sunny faces, and the frames are checked for the corners where the caulk has opened.

Garage doors and the wall between the garage and the house are checked, because both are routes into the living space.

What about the apartments and condominiums?

The Bridge Park apartments and condominiums share walls and pipes, and a route can reach the unit next door. The visit plans the route with the neighbouring units in view, and the report lists which were included.

Shared parking structures and stores below apartments are checked as common areas where the building allows it.

What should a Dublin caller check at booking?

A Dublin address can sit in Franklin, Delaware or Union County, so give the full street address so the report carries the right county. Ask for the licence details, and check them with the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

What do the Bridge Park apartments and the historic village have in common?

The historic village and the Bridge Park apartments are both dense, though they were built a century apart. The walk in each is planned around the shared walls and the stairs, and the report records the route through the building.

Indian Run runs through the old village, and the buildings near it are checked for the wood close to the water line and for any mud tube on the foundation.

In the Dublin subdivisions, an attached three-car garage often shares a wall with a family room, and that wall is checked for a gap at the floor and at the top plate. The report records each gap and the material recommended to close it.
