Crumbling Foundations

The State of Connecticut is providing financial assistance to homeowners who have a crumbling foundation, due to the mineral pyrrhotite, where the home, condo, multi-family, or home addition was built after January 1, 1983, and before December 31, 2015.

Over 35,000 homes are estimated to be impacted. The area of greatest concern is in northeast CT, where it is now possible to see foundations being replaced or repaired. A professional engineers inspection and report are partially reimbursable by the captive insurer, and a necessary step in the process. Our professional engineer can provide the inspection and report with pictures.
