Worthington was founded in 1803, the year Ohio became a state, by New England settlers of the Scioto Company who laid it out around a village green. That history is still on the ground: Old Worthington has homes from the 1800s alongside early 1900s houses, and most of the surrounding neighborhoods filled in with ranches, split-levels and two-stories from the 1940s through the 1970s. Each era comes with its own list of things to check.

What we look for in Worthington homes

  • Foundations on the oldest homes. Stone and early block foundations can show settling, moisture and past repairs. We document what we see, and a foundation inspection is available when there is a concern.
  • Mid-century systems. Ranch and split-level homes from the 1950s to the 1970s often have a mix of original and updated wiring, plumbing and ductwork. We note what is original and what has been replaced.
  • Sewer lines under established trees. Older laterals and mature trees are a common combination here. A sewer camera inspection is one of the best add-ons for a Worthington purchase.
  • Chimneys and fireplaces. Masonry chimneys on older homes take a beating from Ohio winters. We look for visible damage and recommend a full chimney inspection when it is warranted.
  • Basements and grading. We check gutters, downspouts, grading, sump pumps and signs of past water, with thermal imaging included.
  • Radon. Franklin County is in the EPA’s highest radon zone, and homes with basements and slabs both test high. Testing is the only way to know.

Worthington home inspection FAQ

Do you inspect historic homes in Old Worthington?

Yes. Older homes take longer and we plan for that. We focus on condition and safety, and note anything that needs a specialist.

Should I get a radon test in Worthington?

Yes. Radon is common across Central Ohio, and neighboring homes can test very differently. A short test during your inspection window gives you a real number.

How long does the inspection take?

Most full home inspections take 2 to 4 hours, depending on size and age.

When will I get my report?

Within 24 hours, usually the same day, with photos and plain-language notes.
