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.

Overview

  • Homeowners in the NE region of CT have crumbling foundations due to the presence of pyrrhotite in the stone aggregate used to mix the concrete.
  • This is currently limited to a specific quarry source and time period. 
  • The State of CT is offering financial assistance for qualified visual evaluation.
  • Our licensed professional engineer (PE) is approved to conduct the visual inspection for repair or replacement.
  • The Schaefer Inspection Service team is trained and certified by the state of CT to observe for crumbling foundations and offer knowledge and expertise on next steps.
