Foundation work in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park puts 93.4 percent of its homes before 1980, in a city of 39,511 where the median value is $117,400. Wayne County is EPA radon Zone 3, meaning a predicted level under 2 pCi/L; that is a county forecast, and testing the basement is cheap by comparison with any repair. Lincoln Park's building office left no page we could use, so call city hall and ask who takes a permit for waterproofing, wall repair or a sump, and if a plumbing permit is separate.
Hold any contractor to the state rule: a residential builder or maintenance and alteration license is needed for work totaling $600 or more, and you can check the number at michigan.gov/statelicensesearch. Splitting a job into smaller invoices to get under that figure does not exempt it. Ask any company to state, before you sign, who diagnosed the problem, what it found, and if an engineer saw the wall. Allen Park is 1.9 miles away and Melvindale 2.4.
