Foundation work in New Britain
30% of New Britain's homes were built before 1940, many on fieldstone, brick or early concrete foundations. Additions to those houses need new footings dug carefully beside the old walls so we don't undermine them. New Britain has a lot of two- and three-family houses (31% single-family detached), and foundation work on them, from leaking cracks to rear additions, often happens with tenants in place. We plan around that.
On a typical New Britain lot, a new foundation means footings 42 inches down, poured walls, dampproofing and a footing drain to daylight or a sump.
The median home in New Britain was built in 1956, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Newington, where the median is 1967.
