Foundation work in Cromwell
Cromwell's housing is newer than most of the state's (half built after 1977), so foundation work here is mostly additions, garages, sunrooms and leak repair.
Near the Connecticut River, high groundwater in spring makes footing drains and a sump worth planning from the start.
The median home in Cromwell was built in 1977, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than nearby Wethersfield, where the median is 1959.
