Project Description
| Please describe your proposed project: | Our crawl space has issues and needs to be dug out and rebuilt. This will eliminate frost heaving and flooding under the home. Something we learned has been an issue for decades, but which was never disclosed to us when we bought the property. The crawl space will have an additional 3-4 feet and will provide basement space (unfinished/raw) which will properly support the home. The home doesn't have the correct support and has frost heaving issues. Because of the additions that were done throughout the years (which were permitted and prior to our purchase) the home cannot be lifted to correct. We are needing to get this completed to ensure the longevity of the home and structure. We plan on living here a long time and want to make sure the crawl space is done correctly. |
| What is the height of your structure? | 4 Feet |

| Additional info: (optional) |
There won't be any "additions" per se, just a corrected crawl space which will be an enclosed area like that of a basement but without bathroom facilities, etc. It will be concrete, block, and beams to support the house properly and to stop the frost heaves. If anything else is needed, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate it - this should've been disclosed to us when we purchased the property but it wasn't and it needs to corrected. :( |
