Foundation repair help
Hello to group:
Well, I made a big mistake. I hired a contractor to dig out the basement floor 18", install a perimeter drain, put down a compacted stone bed and water barrier, then pour a new cement floor. The floor came out great. Sump works fine. Problem is, the contractor assured me that I had enough foundation to do this project. There wasn't. Now I have about 8" of exposed soil at the floor! What can I do to shore this up before the dirt underneath the foundation walls washes out? I thought of putting in rebar and puring a pony wall, but maybe thats overkill. Suggestions? |
