Homes and wiring in Saginaw
Saginaw grew as a lumber and auto-parts city on the Saginaw River, and the Cathedral District, Old Saginaw City and the east side hold many homes from the late 1800s to the 1930s. In May 2020, dam failures upstream on the Tittabawassee River flooded communities across the area, and winter storms and old wiring drive many calls.
Older homes often have knob-and-tube, fuse boxes and small services, and many have sat vacant and need full rewiring when renovated. Basements are common, so sump pumps matter. Older east side homes built for auto-parts workers often have small panels that cannot take central air or a basement finish.
