Foundation work in Wallingford
Half of Wallingford's homes were built before 1973, 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 Wallingford was built in 1973, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than nearby Meriden, where the median is 1960.
