Foundation work in Port Huron
Port Huron counts 28,724 residents, a median home value of $136,000 and 79.2 percent of homes built before 1980. St. Clair County is EPA radon Zone 3, which predicts under 2 pCi/L; EGLE counters that high radon has been found in every Michigan county. Port Huron's building office is not confirmed here, so call city hall and ask who issues a permit for waterproofing, wall repair or a sump pump, and if the same application covers the plumbing, and get the answer in writing before a crew starts.
Ask also if work in the road right of way needs separate approval; Livonia, for one, requires an engineering permit and bond for that. A contractor charging $600 or more needs a LARA license, and MISS DIG wants about 72 hours' notice before digging, a timing to confirm with MISS DIG. A company that diagnoses and repairs has an interest in the answer, so a second opinion from an engineer who sells no repair is worth the fee. New Baltimore is 26.3 miles away.
