Revisions to the CTR Concrete Advisory and Disclosure for Sellers and Buyers Form
CT REALTORS® created a Concrete Advisory and Disclosure for Sellers and Buyers form to assist REALTORS® working with clients and customers in receiving important information about the crumbling foundation issues and ensuring specific information is communicated related to seller knowledge about any repairs, tests, inspections, and any claims on a subject property. View the October 2025 revised Concrete Advisory and Disclosure for Sellers and Buyers form which is also available in our forms libraries.
You can view a highlighted version of the form showing the changes that were made.
Info and Advisory on Concrete Foundations
In addition to the Concrete Advisory and Disclosure for Sellers and Buyers form, CTR also offers a Foundation Advisory for Buyers form that can be used when an agent first meets with a buyer client or customer.
The Advisory and Disclosure and Foundation Advisory for Buyers are available through these links. Both advisories are also available in the CTR Forms Libraries.
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) maintains a webpage updating the public on the status of the State's scientific and other research to determine the potential cause of failing concrete foundations. Visit DCP's Deteriorating Concrete Foundations web page which includes general information and resources for the public about this topic. The page includes links to their brochures covering facts about concrete, press releases, insurance information, the link to the Agreement between DCP and the companies JJ Mottes Company and Becker Construction Company and updates on legislation related to foundations.
The Connecticut Department of Housing also has information on concrete foundations and a link to apply for a reimbursement for the cost of testing the foundation for pyrrhotite.
Reminder About Foundations Disclosures:
The Sellers Residential Property Condition Report includes extensive sections for sellers to disclose known material defects or problems with many aspects of their property, including foundation issues which are inclusive of cracks. In addition, there is a separate form entitled "Residential Foundation Condition Report" issued and updated by DCP that is required to be completed in limited circumstances which are detailed at the top of the form. Both forms are available in our forms libraries as well as on the DCP website.
