A natural mineral called pyrrhotite found in Massachusetts is causing significant damage to homeowners by deteriorating concrete foundations. Repair costs can reach tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, with insurance typically not covering the damages, leading to a challenging situation for affected homeowners. Efforts are being made to seek legislative relief similar to Connecticut's solution, but without a resolution, the state's real estate market and property values could be at risk due to the slow destruction caused by pyrrhotite.
