I can guarantee that there is no engineering, permits, or inspection on this project. When you alternate the footings, you eliminate the rebar and reinforcement required to make a footing handle a load of a house. This house is unsafe, and these guys are just making a bad situation worse by the method they are using. Also, even an amature know you do NOT pour a sewer line in a footing, especially when it is going vertical. They should have waited for the plumbers to relocate it. All lines crossing a footing at 90 degrees requires a sleeve. None of this was considered.
As a contractor in philly since the late 80's, this sort of thing (lowering basement floor) was big for a while, back in the day..it's THE hardest remodeling you can do on a house... So labor intensive...I could never do one now; The manpower, in this area, is just not there...You guys did a sweet job on the footers and foundation walls; they look tight!...
Just buy a different home. This is one of the most ridiculous projects to perform on a home.
double, you know, especialy, you know, cool, bigger space, like I said before, you know, bigger, crew, mentioned before, you know, footers crew, especialy basement, you know, open contractors, you know, concrete, really cool, you know, like I said before, ...
What's a price range for doing a job like this? I know you can't give exacts because every home is different but I'm curious how much it would cost around for a job like this
Could have used a mixer ?
No rebar? Hope your not in a earthquake prone region
I watched this video simply because about 20 yrs ago, I did this very thing to a house that I owned, and honestly one person doing this on their own soon gets very knackering. Even though I was knackered the whole process was enjoyable and the overall look and the amount of space gained from the digging out was unbelievable.
The insulation should be above the moisture membrane, this gives you something to attach the underfloor heating pipes to and it won't rot away. I'm guessing you tacked the pipe clips through the membrane making it worthless. Also, rebar, it needs to be in a continuous rectangle around the perimeter to provide strength, you will have area's that have deeper sections of concrete but at least the finished article is square.
It's a lot of hard labor. I commend anyone who does this. Price wise, we all know it's not cheap.
Great work men, that's like a whole new house for the homeowners. You guys add so much space for them.
We had friends in California LA area who did this kind of construction. Back in the 70s it became very popular to but in wine cellars and man caves in very densely populated cities where you expanded your house square footage by going up or down. It was a family thing and really worked well because of the cramped area they worked in. They were a great group of people.Thanks and I wish you and your guys well .
Some years ago in California was a gas station on a crazy busy intersection.
My back hurts just watching this. Hard work
Super cool to watch the process start to finish especially the underfloor heating addition to your finish.
Dude, I’m an electrician who loves to see the stuff you guys do
All that good stuff
Ahh I remember by best friend from the time I dug out my basement. The EZlift dirt conveyor. Made the job so convenient and fast.
Amazing
That is a ton of work! The amount of dirt moved by hand, no machinery, is unreal!
