By property
Building in East Hartford
- Foundations
- East Hartford is about 21 miles from the former J.J. Mottes plant in Stafford Springs. Homes with foundations poured from the early 1980s on should rule out pyrrhotite before foundation work; see our crumbling foundations guide.
- Soils
- Parts of East Hartford sit on glacial Lake Hitchcock clays, which hold water and heave, so bases go deeper and drainage gets more attention.
- Water
- Lots near the Connecticut River can hold water in spring, so we plan drainage and base depth for it.
- Right-of-way
- Most East Hartford streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a town permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in East Hartford like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: East Hartford's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
