Easton’s housing market encompasses a diverse range of properties, including historic homes, suburban developments, riverfront properties, and newer construction—every property benefits from a detailed evaluation. Our home inspectors thoroughly inspect each accessible system and component, providing you with a clear understanding of the property’s condition before making a major decision.
Easton sits at the confluence of the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers and is one of the three major cities that make up the Lehigh Valley. Known for its historic architecture, revitalized downtown, and convenient access to New Jersey, Easton has become an appealing location for commuters, families, and investors.
The climate in Easton influences how homes age. Cold winters, humid summers, and frequent rain can contribute to foundation movement, roofing deterioration, moisture intrusion, and mold growth. Many older homes in the region were built before modern building standards were established, making skilled home inspectors essential for identifying aging systems or structural concerns. Radon is also common in this part of Pennsylvania, although this specific client does not offer radon testing.
Commercial properties throughout Easton and nearby cities require thorough commercial inspections due to a wide range of building ages, renovations, and mechanical systems. A detailed commercial inspection helps business owners understand current conditions and long-term maintenance needs.
Easton offers a wide variety of residential and commercial structures, each with specific inspection considerations:
Historic homes in College Hill and downtown neighborhoods often contain older foundations, plaster walls, original plumbing, and knob and tube wiring. A knowledgeable home inspector thoroughly evaluates these features.
Rowhomes and twin homes common throughout the city require attention to shared walls, drainage patterns, and roofing transitions.
Suburban developments in surrounding areas, such as Palmer Township and Forks Township, typically include single-family homes with varying ages of roofing, siding, and HVAC systems.
New construction homes still benefit from comprehensive home inspections to verify proper installation and performance of modern components.
Riverfront properties may require additional attention to moisture control, grading, and drainage.
Commercial buildings in Easton range from renovated industrial structures to office spaces and storefronts. Commercial inspectors assess electrical systems, roofing, plumbing, accessibility, and safety components to provide a complete understanding of the building.
Sewer lateral camera inspections are especially valuable in older neighborhoods. Many Easton homes have clay, cast-iron, or aging sewer lines that may be prone to root intrusion or deterioration. Mold inspections and wood-destroying insect inspections are also common due to the region’s moisture levels and termite activity.
Easton includes several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own architectural style and housing trends:
College Hill is known for its historic homes, tree-lined streets, and proximity to Lafayette College.
Downtown Easton offers renovated properties, apartments, and walkable access to restaurants and entertainment.
West Ward is a thriving area with revitalization efforts and a diverse range of housing options.
South Side has a mix of older homes and riverfront access.
Palmer Township and Forks Township, situated just outside Easton, offer a mix of suburban-style homes.
Nearby service areas such as Allentown, Bethlehem, Macungie, Lower Macungie, Hanover Township, and the Pocono Mountains share similar inspection needs, especially when it comes to aging construction and environmental concerns.
Easton is rich with culture, recreation, and history. Residents and visitors enjoy:
Easton Public Market for local food and community events
Crayola Experience is a major family destination
Karl Stirner Arts Trail for outdoor art and walking trails
Hugh Moore Park offers canal boat rides and historic education
