Why Aston homes are different

Aston: Post-War Housing, Active Market

Aston’s housing stock spans post-war cape cods, ranches, and split-levels from the 1950s–1970s through newer townhome and single-family communities — each with distinct inspection priorities.

⚛Post-War Cape Cods, Ranches & SplitsDominant housing type dates to the 1950s–1970s. These frequently have aging electrical panels (FPE, Zinsco), galvanized plumbing, and original HVAC systems nearing end of life. ⚡Electrical Panel ConcernsFederal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels are common in 1960s–1970s Aston homes. Both have documented safety and insurance concerns. ☢Radon Testing RecommendedDelaware County is EPA Zone 2. Radon testing is recommended for every Aston purchase. Our DEP-certified technicians deliver 48-hour results.
📷Aging Sewer LateralsOlder properties have aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals prone to root intrusion. A camera scope before closing is recommended. 🏗Newer ConstructionAston has newer townhome and single-family communities. Pre-close inspections protect buyers from construction defects. 🐞Termite & WDI RiskDelaware County’s climate and older wood-framed homes create favorable conditions for termites. Required by most lenders.
⚠ Electrical Panel Alert — Aston

Many Aston homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco electrical panels. These brands have well-documented histories of breaker failure. Many insurance companies will not insure homes with these panels or charge significantly higher premiums. Our inspectors identify panel brand and condition in every inspection.
