What shapes a project in Manchester
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Crumbling foundations
Manchester is among more than 40 Connecticut municipalities affected by defective concrete in foundations. Owners of affected homes can seek an assessment reduction under a 2016 state law, and the town points residents to CFSIC for foundation replacement claims.
Testing before foundation work
FEMA ties the problem to homes built in northeastern Connecticut from 1983 to 2000. For a Manchester home from those years, a core test or visual inspection, which CRCOG reimburses, can be done before planning work that touches the foundation.
Older neighborhoods too
State health department figures drawn from the 2000 Census show 52.7% of Manchester's housing stock was built before 1960, so remodeling often involves older framing, wiring and painted surfaces.
