Re: Adding a basement to a house with a crawl space
|
Text of the message: |
Won`t you be digging below all sides of the foundation. Ok so you opt to dig, You can`t use the existing foundation wall as it will colapse when you dig under it. So now you opt for a separate adjoining new wall , Are you sure the old will not colapse while you finish the new wall. How are you going to put the house load on the new wall evenly and securely. You can`t just build up block and slide it in, you wil settle unevenly and have a mess upstairs. Individual shims could work for each joist. You must also support the house with jacks and beams, constantly being sure nothing settles while all this goes on, and daily take floor to beam measurements. Digging is not simple, you will have jacks to dig around, and the deeper you go the harder it gets. and of couse you know the water table is not an issue as is a drain tile system . Not so simple. Lifting the whole house up 5 ft can be a better option and many times quicker. |
