Broomall is a postal name, not a municipality. The roof permit and the inspection both come from Marple Township, and that catches people out.
Broomall is the postal and census name for the built-up middle of Marple Township, along West Chester Pike and Sproul Road. The housing is mid-century: ranches, split-levels and two-story colonials in Lawrence Park, Marple Gardens, Rose Tree Woods and Strathaven, with wide simple roof planes and small shallow attics above them. The Thomas Massey House on Lawrence Road has stood since the seventeenth century, but nearly everything around it is post-war.
Those wide planes are straightforward to roof and unforgiving of sloppy fastening lines, so we take the setup seriously and correct attic ventilation while the roof is open. On paperwork, there is no Broomall code office. The roofing permit is issued by Marple Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we file it.

Wide simple roof planes show every irregularity in fastening and underlayment, and the shallow attics beneath them rarely have enough intake ventilation.
On a long plane, an uneven nail line telegraphs through the finished roof surface.
Split-level attics are small, so soffit intake has to match whatever exhaust is installed.
Split-levels have offset ridges, and the step between them needs proper flashing.
Broomall has no separate code office, so Marple Township issues and inspects the permit.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

No. Broomall is a postal name and a census-designated place inside Marple Township. For roofing, the permit application, the fee schedule and the inspection all come from Marple Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We handle the filing, so you do not have to work out which office to call.
Only if the step between them was never detailed properly. Where the lower ridge meets the upper wall you need step flashing and counterflashing, built as the courses go on, not caulked afterward. That junction is the most common leak point on a split-level, and it is the part we check first.
Often yes. Mid-century ranches and split-levels in Broomall were built with minimal soffit intake, and adding a ridge vent without intake does not achieve much. We check the balance while the roof is off and correct it, because heat and trapped moisture are what age shingles from underneath.
Freeze-thaw cycling works at every seam, and ice builds at the eaves where the overhang is cold and the attic above it is warm. Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and in the valleys is the fix on the roof side. Better insulation and ventilation reduce the melting that causes it.
