Foundation work in Plainville
Half of Plainville's homes were built before 1970, 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 Pequabuck River, high groundwater in spring makes footing drains and a sump worth planning from the start.
The median home in Plainville was built in 1970, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Britain (median 1956) and older than Farmington (1980).
