Why Chichester homes are different

Chichester: Older Housing, Southern Delaware County

Chichester’s housing stock is predominantly pre-1960 — brick and frame homes that carry the aging systems and materials of their era.

🏛Pre-1960 Brick & Frame HomesHigh concentration of older housing stock. These homes frequently have original or early-upgraded wiring, galvanized plumbing, clay sewer laterals, and aging mechanical systems. ⚡Electrical Panel ConcernsMany older homes have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, or aging electrical systems requiring careful evaluation. ☢Radon Testing RecommendedDelaware County is EPA Zone 1. Radon testing is recommended for every purchase.
📷Aging Sewer LateralsOlder street infrastructure includes clay sewer laterals prone to root intrusion and deterioration. A camera scope is recommended. 🏛Foundation & Moisture ConditionsOlder homes frequently have stone or brick foundation walls with moisture intrusion and settlement concerns. 🐞Termite & WDI RiskDelaware County’s climate and older wood-framed homes create favorable conditions for termites and WDI.
⚠ Sewer Lateral Alert — Chichester

Chichester’s older streets have clay sewer laterals prone to root intrusion and partial collapse. Camera sewer scope inspection is strongly recommended for any pre-1960 Chichester property. Lateral replacements cost $10,000–$20,000 — a scope costs far less.

“★★★★★

Dave is absolutely a pleasure. He is personable and educates the buyer. He saved me from buying a property with serious structural issues that would have cost as much to repair as the house was worth. None of my friends will purchase a house without his inspection.
