Mixed housing
Northview has many post-war ranches and split-levels, where attic sealing, rim joist foam and settled attic fill are the usual jobs. Newer neighborhoods toward Belmont have two-story houses with bonus rooms and full basements, where rim joists and garage ceilings come first. Older farmhouses and outbuildings dot the north end.
Permits
Plainfield Charter Township contracts building, occupancy and trades permits and inspections to Cascade Township, while zoning questions stay with Plainfield's Community Development Department.
River lowlands
Homes on the low ground near the Grand and Rogue rivers can have damp basements. We check for water and wet sills before any basement foam work.
Older Northview homes
Ranches and split-levels from the 1950s and 1960s are common around Northview. Their attic insulation has usually settled to a few inches, the attic floor was never sealed and the basement rim is bare. Those three fixes usually come first.
Newer homes near Belmont
Two-story homes with bonus rooms over garages and full basements are typical in newer areas. The room over the garage and the rim joist are the usual complaints.
Winter and ice dams
The Grand Rapids area gets about 75.6 inches of snow a year. Houses with leaky attics in Plainfield show it with icicles and ice dams at the eaves, which usually means warm air is getting into the attic.
Rebates
DTE and Consumers Energy both list insulation rebates. We note the area and R-value of each job so you can apply to whichever program covers your home.
