Crumbling Foundations Update
In New England, pyrrhotite-damaged concrete foundations remain a major concern, affecting homes across 43+ Massachusetts towns from contaminated aggregates. The CFSIC program raised its remediation cap to $205,000 effective January 20, 2026, offering relief for testing and repairs—inspectors should flag cracks early.
​

Practical Tips for Buyers/Sellers
Test foundations promptly: Look for diagonal cracks or bulging in poured concrete basements, especially in homes built 1983–2015.
​

Negotiate repairs: Use inspection findings to request credits or fixes within the 15-day window.
​

Choose licensed inspectors: Massachusetts-licensed pros know local codes and emerging issues like pyrrhotite.

Topic: Why Homebuyers Should Never Skip Water Quality Testing
Caption:

Most buyers never think about water quality—but it’s one of the most important health factors in a home. Contaminants like lead, nitrates, PFAS (“forever chemicals”), and bacteria can exist even when water tastes perfectly normal.

Our water quality testing includes:
• Full lab analysis
• PFAS/PFOA screening
• Lead, copper & heavy metal detection
• Bacteria & nitrate safety testing
• Clear, written results you can trust

Buying a home? Get peace of mind before closing.
