Foundation work in Fraser
Two of every three Fraser homes, 69.0 percent, went up before 1980, and the median home is worth $193,600 across a city of 14,604 people. The Building Inspections page at City Hall, 33000 Garfield Road (586-293-3100), handles permits and inspections and takes applications online through BS&A. LARA's jurisdiction list shows the city as the local enforcer for building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing, so a basement or crawl space job starts with that office, not the county.
EPA places Macomb County in radon Zone 3, an average below 2 pCi/L, and says that map should not decide if you test. EGLE expects one Michigan home in four to read at or above 4 pCi/L. A $600 job in labor and materials is the line where a state license becomes required, so ask the contractor for the number and check it. Dig for exterior drain tile only after a MISS DIG notice, which the state describes as at least 72 hours ahead (we have this only secondhand, so confirm with MISS DIG). Neighbors are Roseville at 2.1 miles and Eastpointe at 4.9.

The base code requires a permit to repair or alter a building, and the city's building official decides whether a given foundation, waterproofing or sump job counts.
