Foundation repair in Norwood
What Norwood homes mean for foundation repair
Shallow basement walls in Norwood's worker housing were built to a modest original spec, so settlement here tends to show up as a step crack near a corner or party wall rather than a slow uniform sink. Tight lot lines and shared or near-shared walls between adjacent two-family houses constrain where a pier line can go, which often pushes the design toward piers that can be set closer to a property line than a larger rig needs. Many of these homes have had porches or additions built on since 1940, and the original foundation and the addition's footing do not always share a bearing depth, which is a common source of cracking at the seam between them.
