Sunken concrete in Manchester
Half of Manchester'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. Manchester's mix of single-family homes (46%) and multi-family buildings means leveling for homeowners and for landlords clearing trip hazards.
With public sidewalks along most of Manchester's streets, lifting is often the quickest way to clear a trip hazard. We check first whether the town accepts lifting on a public walk.
The median home in Manchester was built in 1963, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Hartford (median 1953) and older than South Windsor (1980).
