Sunken concrete in Berlin
Half of Berlin's homes were built before 1972. Slabs that old have had decades of downspout washout under them, and a lot of what looks like a failed slab is a sound slab sitting on a void. Most Berlin homes are single-family (80%), so leveling calls here are usually a homeowner's walk, patio or garage apron that dropped at one end.
Most leveling calls in Berlin are the familiar ones: a walk panel that dropped at a joint, a stoop that tipped toward the house, a garage apron that sank.
The median home in Berlin was built in 1972, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Meriden (median 1960) and older than Cromwell (1977).
