Broomall is the heart of Marple Township — a settled, sought-after Delaware County suburb known for strong schools and easy Blue Route access. Its housing stock is overwhelmingly post-war: 1950s–1970s split-levels, ranchers, Cape Cods, and brick colonials, now mixed with a strong run of new luxury construction and teardown rebuilds. Each carries its own structural story. ValueGuard’s ASHI-certified home inspectors in Broomall have been reading this housing stock since 1997, and we’ve built our home inspections in Broomall around exactly these differences — whether you need a routine house inspection or a full pre-purchase evaluation.

i. Why these homes are different
Post-war suburbia, active rebuild market.
Broomall’s housing stock is dominated by 1950s–1970s split-levels, ranchers, Cape Cods, and brick colonials — overlaid by a strong wave of new luxury construction and whole-house rebuilds. Each needs a different inspection lens. A thorough home inspection in Broomall means knowing which one you’re standing in. Here’s what our home inspectors focus on:
Mid-Century Split-Levels & Ranchers
Marple Township built out fast in the 1950s–1970s. Split-levels and ranchers from that era often hide original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing, aging electrical panels, and tired low-slope roof sections. We separate normal age from real concerns.
Aluminum Branch Wiring (1965–1973)
Homes built in the late 1960s and early 1970s — common across Broomall — may carry solid aluminum branch wiring, a recognized fire-safety concern at outlets, switches, and connections. Our home inspectors flag it and explain the accepted fixes.
Radon Testing Recommended
Delaware County sits in EPA Zone 1 — the highest-risk radon classification. Radon testing is recommended for every Broomall purchase, and our DEP-certified technicians deliver 48-hour results.
New Construction & Teardown Rebuilds
Broomall has an active teardown-and-rebuild market. A brand-new luxury home still benefits from an independent inspection — builder workmanship, flashing, grading, and stone-veneer details all reward a careful, unaffiliated eye.
Sewer Laterals, Termite & WDI
Older Broomall streets carry clay and cast-iron sewer laterals prone to root intrusion and collapse — a camera sewer scope is smart on any pre-1980 home. Wood-framed areas also invite termites and wood-destroying insects, and mold testing is available the same visit.
Tight Suburban-Market Windows
Broomall’s schools and Blue Route access keep demand high and contingency windows short. Same-week scheduling and next-business-day reports mean your inspection never becomes the bottleneck on a deal.

A note on Broomall’s 1960s–70s wiring
A large share of Broomall’s housing was built between roughly 1965 and 1973 — exactly the window when solid aluminum branch wiring was widely used. Left unaddressed, aluminum connections can loosen, overheat, and create a fire risk at outlets, switches, and panels. It isn’t a reason to walk away, but it is something every Broomall buyer should know before closing. When we find it, we document it clearly and explain the accepted fixes — COPALUM crimps or AlumiConn connectors — so you can budget and negotiate with confidence.
From our recent caseload
Recently inspected in Broomall.
Three homes from recent ValueGuard inspections in Broomall — a brand-new modern farmhouse in stone and siding, a mid-century home rebuilt with a new two-story addition, and a classic 1960s red-brick colonial. Same township, three entirely different home inspections. Swipe or use the arrows to see all three.
No. 01
New Modern Farmhouse (Stone & Siding)
A brand-new Broomall modern farmhouse — board-and-batten and lap siding over a stone-veneer base, a black standing-seam porch roof, and multiple gable dormers. Even on a new luxury build, an independent home inspection catches what the builder’s punch-list missed.
No. 02
Expanded & Renovated Split-Level
A mid-century Broomall home taken down to the painted-brick base and rebuilt with a new two-story addition and covered porch. Renovation-and-addition homes need a careful eye where old meets new — original systems, framing tie-ins, and a hillside foundation.
No. 03
1960s Brick Colonial
A classic Broomall mid-century brick colonial — red brick, louvered shutters, a low-slope porch roof with an aging shingle field, and original-era systems behind a tidy facade. The kind of Marple Township home our home inspectors know cold.
