Digging Out 100 TONS of Soil in 5 Months to Build a Basement Under a House by

Building a dugout basement is a complex and meticulous process that requires careful planning, skilled labor, and adherence to safety standards and regulations. This essay will explore the various stages involved in constructing a dugout basement, from excavation to finishing, highlighting the importance of each step in creating a solid foundation for the structure above.
@GoldsConcrete show us this process through this video, and it is a real plesure to watch them work. Stay if you want to know everything about it!

They are lucky they live in a place with so much dirt. Where I live, there is 6 inches of top soil and then, just a solid mass of granite rock. Want a basement? Drill and dynamite or forget it.

[@thelight3112]

That would actually make a basement digout a lot easier. Wouldn't have to worry much about extra shoring or settling at all.

My one person army of an uncle did this in Hawaii by renting a front loader and making a much bigger hole in the side of his house (the exposed side, it was on a hill) it added about $450k to the value of the house. More square foots is more money. It took him 1/2 man year.

[@far_outlook]

It's too inconvenient, the floor is underground and during the rainy season the floor will be heavily damp

[@thelight3112]

Currently doing this to my cabin, which is also on the side of a hill. The foundation needed repairing anyways, and a $6k micro-excavator is a lot cheaper than building a whole new cabin on a new foundation.

[@matthewhawkins1472]

Be easier to build the basement and then move the house over it. Or alternatively, build the new basement mostly beside the house with just a small amount under the house for access to the new space.

My Brother-in-law and I dug the secondary basement area out under my Father-in-Laws house. The Front CBS Wall had Buckled, house was blocked up in the front. It was determined the Footings were Deep enough and not cracked. At first we used buckets and shovels. Later we made a Wheeled Sled to haul the dirt out. Not sure how many tons we moved. Worst was we kept loosing sump pumps from the mud.

I had to fill my footing with 450 tons of sand. Due to terrain, it was not possible for the excavator to reach all places so about 200 tons had to be done by hand. I have finished it within 7 days span. This is really heavy work and not many people are willing to do it. Cudos for the guys. Digging Clay is even worse.

[@J68StingRay]

Any estimate on what this type of work costs? Not even sure where to find a qualified company in my area to do this let alone get a proper quote

have a look at colin furze tunnel.....its more difficult with english foundations

[@thelight3112]

​@@neoaliphant A lot of homes in the UK are built on concrete slabs, making a basement digout basically impossible. You'd be better off buying an empty plot and building a home with a basement, if you can convince the council to actually let you build anything. They seem hellbent on making sure there's not enough housing.

Has to be cheaper and faster to do a second or third floor, with an elevator. To me, the only thing that could justify this process is already having a bad / failing foundation.

[@thelight3112]

I did my basement digout myself for like $10k, and that includes buying a Chinese micro excavator. Adding an addition would require digging out that foundation anyways, along with walls/roof/etc. Doing the basement just required concrete block, concrete, rebar, and lots of digging.

[@stickyhood]

Lol believe it or not most houses don't have basements and sometimes it's long time homes of people why but an over priced house when u already own one and will make it more valuable 30k spent can bring you over a 100k in equity it's an investment

[@Radek3887]

Yeah, they disturbed the ground under the house, they put in new materials, things are going to settle. I don't care how good of a crew it is, it's not going to be perfect. Imagine 10 years don't the road one side of the house is an inch lower than the other or worse.

[@thelight3112]

​@@Radek3887 Then you jack up that side of the house and add shims. Most residential houses are light enough that a 30 ton jack from harbor freight will lift a corner of it.

[@WoodLox]

Looks like $80k unfinished but regardless you can’t buy anything for that price these days. What best way to increase square footage with minimal cost plus if they have owned it for a while it’s accumulated equity makes it a no brainer on a loan. In a world where we are challenged by depreciation…
