🏡 Buyers in Greater Philadelphia are seeing more options, and more room to make informed decisions. Inventory is up roughly 15% year over year, but conditions vary by neighborhood: Philadelphia city buyers may find more choice, while Montgomery, Chester and Bucks counties remain competitive.

That makes your inspection contingency especially important. A photo-rich report delivered by the next business day can help turn significant findings into clear, documented negotiating points while you’re still within your contingency window. Sellers can respond to a specific, well-documented material defect more clearly than to a verbal concern, but every negotiation is different.

✅ Don’t waive your inspection.
✅ Don’t treat the report as a wish list. Focus on documented material defects and discuss them as specific line items with your agent.

For 25+ years, ValueGuard has helped Greater Philadelphia buyers move forward with confidence through unbiased inspections, actionable photo-rich reports delivered by the next business day, and a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

This is what a home inspection actually looks like. 🍂🏠

On a beautiful fall morning in Royersford, Montgomery County, Nick Ostrowski was up on the roof, seeing the home from the top down, not just taking a quick glance from the ground.

With 23+ years of experience, Nick inspects roofs directly whenever it is safe and accessible, carefully checking the shingles, flashing, drainage, and other details that can become bigger problems once winter arrives. 🔍

Fall is a great time to identify roof concerns before freezing temperatures, snow, and ice put your home to the test.

For more than 25 years, ValueGuard has helped homebuyers throughout the Greater Philadelphia area move forward with confidence through:

✅ Unbiased reporting
✅ Photo-rich, actionable inspection reports delivered by the next business day

💰 The $10,000 surprise under the front lawn? It could be your sewer lateral.

A standard home inspection cannot see the underground sewer line connecting the house to the municipal main. That’s why a sewer scope is smart insurance, especially in older homes throughout Abington, Upper Darby, Narberth, and Delaware County.

🔍 What is a sewer scope?
A specialized camera is pushed through the lateral from the house to the main, allowing us to look for:
✅ Root intrusion
✅ Bellies and standing water
✅ Offsets and separated joints
✅ Cracks or collapse

Spending a few hundred dollars before closing can help you avoid a five-figure excavation after move-in. It’s a natural add-on to a Standard Home Inspection when you’re buying older housing stock in the Greater Philadelphia area.

With 25+ years serving local homebuyers, ValueGuard provides unbiased reporting, photo-rich and actionable inspection reports by the next business day, and a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

That first cold morning is a free diagnostic for your furnace. ❄️🔥

Carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless, and heating equipment is one of the most common sources of CO in a home. Here are 5 things your furnace may tell you when it fires up for the first time since spring:

1️⃣ Filter: Is it dirty or overdue for replacement?
2️⃣ Flame: A crisp blue flame is expected. Yellow or flickering? Call a qualified HVAC professional.
3️⃣ Flue: Keep it clear and watch for blocked, disconnected, or damaged venting.
4️⃣ Cycles: Short-cycling can point to a problem, including airflow issues or a failing component.
5️⃣ Heat: Uneven temperatures, strange smells, or unusual noises deserve attention.

Also test your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors before heating season gets underway. Never ignore a CO alarm, leave the home and call for help.

During a ValueGuard Standard Home Inspection, our inspector runs the heating system, checks the flue, and looks for signs of trouble such as cracked heat exchangers, failed igniters, dirty filters, and ventilation concerns. 🏠

Buying in the Greater Philadelphia area? A heating system about to fail is far cheaper to negotiate during your contingency window than to replace in January.

With 25+ years serving the Greater Philadelphia area, ValueGuard provides unbiased reporting, photo-rich actionable reports by the next business day, and a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Buying a home this fall? Here's what to expect.

We looked back at every home inspection we did last fall: 451 homes across Philadelphia, the Main Line and the surrounding counties. These five fall-related issues came up again and again:

1. Chimney and fireplace issues: 61% of homes
Cracked chimney crowns, missing caps, and fireplaces that needed a cleaning before the first fire.

2. Missing smoke or carbon monoxide alarms: 60%
CO alarms were missing in nearly half of all homes, right before the furnace starts running.

3. Heating system findings: 58%
In 1 in 4 homes, the furnace or boiler was due for service.

4. Gutter, downspout and drainage problems: 51%
Short or disconnected downspouts, clogged gutters and blocked drains.

5. Signs of basement moisture: 49%
Mostly old staining, but about 1 in 10 homes had active moisture.

None of these have to derail a deal. You just want to know about them before you close, not after the first cold snap. Our inspectors walk you through every finding in plain English, and we can handle radon, termite and sewer inspections in the same visit.
