Overview
There are potentially 42 towns affected with the crumbling foundations issue. This page is an informational page on what CRCOG has gathered regarding crumbling foundations and what CRCOG is currently doing to help our towns in this situation.
On August 10th 2016, CRCOG’s Executive Committee voted to form an ad-hoc working committee for Crumbling Foundations. The goal of the committee is to provide towns and homeowners with assistance in needed areas: including potentially helping in determining qualified contractors in testing, engineering and remediation. In addition, the committee could also study the development of other forms of relief to homeowners.
