Foundation work in Cutlerville
Cutlerville is unincorporated, so Gaines Charter Township handles permits for its 19,465 residents: 8555 Kalamazoo Ave SE, Caledonia, phone 616-698-6640, Monday to Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday until noon. Only 29.7 percent of homes here predate 1980, the third-newest stock of the 101 cities, and the median value is $200,900. Younger houses still sit under the rule that footings run 42 inches below actual grade. A wet crawl space or basement is a drainage question first: grading and gutters before any interior system, according to University of Minnesota Extension, an out-of-state source.
