Water Damage Restoration in Ohio Wesleyan University / Historic Campus Area

Ohio Wesleyan University, founded in 1842, anchors one of Delaware's most historically significant neighborhoods, where the campus and surrounding residential blocks contain some of the oldest institutional and residential buildings in the city. Many of these homes carry original plumbing systems dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries, with aging galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and stone or brick foundations that struggle with chronic basement moisture. The neighborhood blends owner-occupied historic homes with student rental properties, and tenant turnover means water damage and mold issues frequently go unreported between leases — allowing small leaks to become structural problems before anyone calls. The mature tree canopy lining these streets is beautiful but contributes to ongoing sewer lateral root intrusion and seasonal backups. Our IICRC-certified team is experienced with historic materials — plaster walls, hardwood floors, and original architectural details — and delivers remediation that preserves the character defining this neighborhood.
