The Program only provides improvements that reduce noise levels in your home and is not a home remodeling program. Structural repairs, building code corrections, maintenance items, rehabilitation work, abatement of hazardous materials, environmental remediation, and weatherization not directly related to sound reduction is not part of this Program.
In some cases, there may be improvements that must be completed by you before the sound insulation treatments can be installed. These items are referred to as owner pre-work. Pre-work items will be identified at the time of the design site visit by the Program Team and will be subsequently identified in the Scope of Work. If applicable, and in order to participate in the Program, you must address all pre-work items before the sound insulation of your property can begin and that pre-work must be completed at your expense.
Contractors working in the Sound Insulation Program are prohibited from performing pre-work. If the property is of standard construction and has been maintained, pre-work should be minimal or not required. Failure to satisfactorily complete the pre-work in a timely manner is a basis on which the Port can terminate your participation in the Program.
