Sunken concrete in Hamden
Half of Hamden's homes were built before 1963. 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. Hamden's mix of single-family homes (56%) and multi-family buildings means leveling for homeowners and for landlords clearing trip hazards.
Most leveling calls in Hamden 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 Hamden was built in 1963, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Haven (median 1952) and older than Wallingford (1973).
