What does a home inspection in Yeadon include?
Bob approaches every Yeadon inspection per ASHI and InterNACHI Standards of Practice. With 1900s–1930s housing stock dominant in Yeadon, Bob pays particular attention to the era-specific issues that affect late 19th and early 20th century construction in Delaware County.
Stone & Rubble Foundations
Pre-1920 homes commonly have stone or rubble foundations with lime mortar joints that deteriorate over a century of exposure. Bob checks for shifting stones, mortar erosion, water seepage pathways, and structural settlement that can indicate foundation movement requiring professional stabilization.
Knob-and-Tube Wiring & Gas Pipe Conversions
Original knob-and-tube wiring is one of the most critical findings in pre-1920 homes — especially when insulation has been blown over active K&T, creating a fire hazard. Bob also evaluates gas pipe conversions from original coal or oil systems, checking for proper sizing, venting, and code compliance.
Original Slate Roofs & Historic Exteriors
Many pre-1920 homes retain original slate or clay tile roofs that, while durable, require specialized maintenance. Bob inspects for cracked or missing slates, deteriorating flashing, and aging copper gutters — plus original wood siding, decorative trim, and masonry that may show a century of weathering.
Lead Paint, Plaster Walls & Coal Chute Remnants
Original plaster-and-lath walls, lead paint on trim and windows, and sealed coal chute openings are hallmarks of pre-1920 construction. Bob documents these conditions and evaluates whether past renovations addressed or inadvertently worsened historical hazards.
How does mold testing work in Yeadon?
Pre-1920 homes are among the highest-risk properties for mold growth due to stone foundations that wick moisture, lime mortar joints that crack over time, and original drainage systems that predate modern waterproofing.
Porous stone foundations with no vapor barrier allowing constant moisture migration
Original clay drainage tiles that crack and clog, directing water toward the foundation
Lime mortar repointing gaps that create moisture entry points
Unventilated basement spaces with earth or deteriorating concrete floors

Bob walks you through exactly what the lab results mean — no jargon, no panic. All samples go to a PRO-LAB certified lab with results in 2-3 days. Mold testing starts at $275.
