Massachusetts Residents Against Crumbling Foundations
Get a Tax Abatement
We know everyone wants to pay there fair share. But keep in mind if you have a crumbling foundation your house is NOT the same as your neighbors with out. Your resale and equity have tanked. Your town should not be valuing your home the same as those without Pyrrhotite. Valuing them as though there is nothing wrong and all foundations are equal is a gross misrepresentation of home values in our towns.
If your town is not allowing abatements you can appeal. Although it may be to late this year, be ready for next.

Information


Concrete used in homes in contained the mineral pyrrhotite, which degraded foundations. Without repairs costing $150,000 to $250,000, affected homes eventually would be uninhabitable.
Private Insurance companies have denied homeowners’ claims to cover the cost of foundation repairs. In 2019, the Connecticut State Supreme Court ruled that homeowners’ insurance policies can exclude crumbling foundations under the existing definition of “collapse.”
