Foundation work in North Haven
Half of North Haven's homes were built before 1964, and the poured and block foundations from that era mostly hold up well. The calls are usually a leaking crack, an addition or a garage.
Near the Quinnipiac River, high groundwater in spring makes footing drains and a sump worth planning from the start.
The median home in North Haven was built in 1964, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Haven (median 1952) and older than North Branford (1977).
