Unhappy Homeowners Pack Crumbling Foundations Meeting

Residents of South Windsor and the surrounding area on Thursday expressed their frustration, desperation, and disappointment that the state cannot force insurance or concrete companies to help them with crumbling foundations. Attorney General George Jepsen said last week the state has no legal authority to compel insurance companies or J.J. Mottes Co., the Stafford concrete company at the center of the ongoing crumbling foundations problem, to aid residents.
He was in attendance at Thursday night’s meeting of the Connecticut Coalition Against Crumbling Basements, a group formed to address the widespread problem of crumbling foundations throughout the state.
