Before you hire in Canton

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1991 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Michigan basements

Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.

Permits: check with the Canton building department before work starts.

When you see widening or horizontal cracks, bowing walls, sloping floors, sticking doors or repeated water, and before buying an older home.
Look for a Michigan-licensed professional engineer who does residential foundation evaluations and does not sell repairs. Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask whether a stamped repair design is included.
