Home Inspection Montgomery County, PA
L&L Home Inspections provides certified home inspections throughout every municipality in Montgomery County, PA. In fact, because we are based right here in Lansdale, our local presence means shorter drives, faster scheduling, and an inspector who already knows how homes in your specific township are built.
At the heart of our operation, Don Nagle personally owns and leads every inspection. He is a United States Marine Corps veteran and an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector. Don inspects with the exact same standards he brought to his service: discipline, attention to detail, and honest reporting.
Whether you are buying in Lower Merion, selling in Souderton, or closing on a farmhouse in Marlborough Township, we inspect it all. Above all, we make sure to explain everything we find in clear, plain language.
What Your Montgomery County Home Inspection Covers
Your inspection is a comprehensive, non-invasive evaluation of the home’s major systems, performed to the InterNACHI® Standards of Practice.
We evaluate:
- Roof, flashing, gutters and drainage
- Structure, foundation and visible framing
- Electrical service, panels, wiring and safety devices
- Plumbing supply, drains, water heater and fixtures
- HVAC: heating, cooling and ventilation
- Attic, insulation and moisture indicators
- Interior: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, stairs
- Exterior: siding, grading, walkways, decks and porches
- Built-in appliances and mechanical components
Afterward, you receive a photo-rich digital report, usually the same day. Our reports are built to help you negotiate repairs, not to frighten you out of a house. We identify material defects, then we walk you through what actually matters.
What Montgomery County Homes Actually Need Inspected
After all, Montgomery County is not a one-size-fits-all housing market. Instead, it spans everything from 1890s Main Line stone twins and 1950s Abington ranchers to 1990s Blue Bell colonials and working farmhouses in the Upper Perkiomen. Naturally, each unique architectural style carries its own set of predictable problems.
Radon: Montgomery County Is an EPA Zone 1 County
Furthermore, Montgomery County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, which is the highest-risk category. Specifically, the Reading Prong geological formation runs through the county's northern and central townships, where its uranium-bearing bedrock drives indoor radon gas upward. In fact, statewide, roughly 40% of Pennsylvania homes tested come back above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. For this reason, we strongly recommend including radon testing with nearly every home purchase in the area.
Septic Systems and Private Wells in the Upper Perkiomen
Homes in Marlborough, Salford, Upper Hanover, New Hanover and Douglass Townships frequently run on private septic and well systems. Both need their own inspection, and both can be expensive surprises. We are a member of the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA), and we perform septic inspections and water quality testing alongside the home inspection.
Older Housing Stock Along the Main Line and Old York Road
Lower Merion, Narberth, Cheltenham, Jenkintown, and Abington hold some of the oldest housing in the region. Expect knob-and-tube wiring, original galvanized supply lines, slate roofs near the end of life, and lead-based paint. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, and we offer lead dust testing when a pre-1978 home warrants it.
Sewer Laterals in Norristown, Pottstown, and Conshohocken
Older boroughs mean older clay and cast-iron sewer laterals. Root intrusion and collapsed lines are common, and repairs run into five figures. A sewer lateral inspection before closing is one of the highest-value add-ons we offer in these boroughs.

Montgomery County Home Inspection FAQs
How much does a home inspection cost in Montgomery County, PA?
A Montgomery County home inspection is based on square footage and age. Add-on testing such as radon, termite, or septic is priced separately. Request a free quote, and we will confirm your exact total before you book.
Do home inspectors need a license in Pennsylvania?
No. Pennsylvania does not issue home inspector licenses. Instead, the Home Inspection Law (Act 114 of 2000) requires inspectors to hold good standing in a qualifying national association, follow that association’s standards of practice, carry liability insurance, and complete continuing education. L&L Home Inspections works to the InterNACHI® Standards of Practice and holds the Certified Master Inspector credential.
How long does a Montgomery County home inspection take?
Most inspections take two to three hours on site. Larger or older homes take longer, and bundled testing adds time. You are welcome to attend, and we encourage it. Buyers who walk the home with us understand their report far better.
Should I test for radon in Montgomery County?
Yes. Montgomery County is an EPA Radon Zone 1 county, the highest-risk designation, and the Reading Prong formation runs through its northern and central townships. Around 40% of Pennsylvania homes tested exceed the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Radon testing is inexpensive relative to mitigation, so we recommend it on nearly every purchase here.
When will I get my inspection report?
You usually receive your photo-rich digital report the same day. It is organized by system, written in plain language, and built so you and your agent can act on it quickly. We remain available afterward to answer questions, even after closing.
Do you inspect septic systems and private wells?
Yes. Many homes in the Upper Perkiomen and northwestern Montgomery County run on private septic and well systems. We are a PSMA member, and we perform septic inspections, well inspections, and water quality testing. Bundling them with your home inspection keeps everything to one appointment.
