Springfield Township is one of Delaware County’s most established suburbs, set along the Blue Route and Baltimore Pike near Smedley Park and the Springfield Mall, in the highly regarded Springfield School District. Its housing is mostly 1920s–1940s stone and brick colonials and Tudors, post-war Cape Cods, and 1950s–1960s ranches, split-levels and center-hall colonials, with some newer construction and townhomes. Homes of these ages share common inspection priorities: masonry and older systems in pre-war homes, original electrical and aging heating in mid-century homes, basement water and grading, decades-old sewer laterals under mature trees, and EPA Zone 1 radon throughout. ValueGuard’s ASHI-certified home inspectors in Springfield have been inspecting these neighborhoods since 1997 — whether you need a full pre-purchase home inspection, a house inspection of a split-level, or a colonial inspection, you get findings you can negotiate from.

i. Why these homes are different
Classic suburbs, aging systems.
Most Springfield homes are 60 to 100 years old. Here’s what a thorough home inspection in Springfield focuses on:
Pre-War Colonials & Tudors
1920s–1940s homes call for careful attention to stone and brick masonry, chimneys, slate or older roofs, and original wiring and plumbing.
Post-War Capes & Ranches
1950s homes commonly carry original electrical panels, aging boilers and furnaces, and finished attics or basements with insulation and moisture issues.
Radon Zone 1
Delaware County, including Springfield, is EPA Zone 1 — the highest radon-risk classification. Testing is essential on every purchase.
Split-Levels
1960s split-levels often have lower levels close to grade where moisture, grading and drainage problems show up, plus original panels and HVAC.
Mature Trees & Sewer Laterals
Large trees fill gutters and send roots into decades-old clay and cast-iron laterals. A camera scope documents the full line before you close.
Renovations & Additions
Many Springfield homes have been expanded over the years. We check how additions tie into the original house — roofing, framing, wiring and drainage.

The Springfield standard
Springfield homes are solidly built and well located, but most have 60 or more years of history behind the walls. Our Delaware County inspectors focus on what that age means: electrical and heating systems, masonry and chimneys, basement water management, sewer laterals, and the quality of past renovations. And because Delaware County is EPA Zone 1, every Springfield inspection should include radon testing.
From our recent caseload
Recently inspected in Springfield.
Three homes from recent ValueGuard inspections in Springfield — a large white center-hall colonial, a mid-century brick ranch, and a split-level. One township, three different home inspections. Swipe or use the arrows to see all three.
No. 01
Center-Hall Colonial
A large white center-hall colonial with dark shutters, a side wing and mature landscaping. Bigger homes mean more roof, more windows and more systems to evaluate.
No. 02
Brick Ranch
A mid-century brick ranch with a low hip roof and wide picture windows. Single-floor living is always in demand — original panels, heating and sewer laterals tell the real story.
No. 03
Split-Level with Garage
A split-level with a stone-faced lower level, white siding and an attached garage. Lower levels close to grade and garage-to-house separation are where findings usually appear.

ii. The services that matter most
What to inspect in Springfield.
Home Inspection
A comprehensive evaluation of structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and major systems — calibrated to Springfield’s colonials, Cape Cods, ranches and split-levels — delivered as a photo-rich report the next business day. Condos from $329.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Strongly recommended for Springfield homes built before the 1980s, where clay and cast-iron laterals run under decades of mature tree roots. Our camera travels the full lateral from cleanout to main.
Radon Testing
Delaware County is EPA Zone 1, the highest radon-risk tier. Our PA DEP-certified technicians use tamper-resistant electronic monitors with 48-hour turnaround. Mitigation, if needed, typically runs $800 to $2,500.
Termite / WDI & Mold Testing
Termite and wood-destroying-insect inspections are required by most lenders, and mold testing is key for older basements, split-level lower floors, and any home with signs of moisture. Both can be added in a single visit.
