Foundation work in Roseville
Roseville's median home value is $142,700, and 85.6 percent of its homes were built before 1980, among 47,240 residents. A basement problem here is more often a repair on an older house than a purchase of a new one. Macomb County sits in EPA radon Zone 3, a county-level prediction below 2 pCi/L; EGLE still says high radon has been found in every Michigan county, so a kit on the lowest level tells you more than the map does.
The city's Building Department is listed with a $90 minimum plumbing permit fee on its form, but we could not confirm that on the city's own forms, so confirm the fee and which counter takes a waterproofing application before you sign. Any contractor who takes $600 or more for the job needs a residential builder or maintenance and alteration license from LARA; look the name up before you pay a deposit.
If a contractor says a wall is bowing, ask for the reason in writing: the 2015 code's rule R404.1.1 calls for engineered design where walls face groundwater pressure or hold back more than 48 inches of unbalanced fill. Neighbors are Fraser, 2.1 miles away, and St. Clair Shores, 2.5 miles away.
