FAQs
Got questions about Crawl Space Conversion with Heide Contracting? We've compiled some of the most frequently asked questions to guide you through our specialized crawl space conversion process. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Q1: Is it worth it to dig out a crawl space?
Digging out a crawl space to create a basement is a significant investment that can dramatically increase your home's usable living space, add instant equity, and provide more living space.
The new space is a cost effective way to add more space to your existing home. It's also a great idea if you want to preserve the exterior of your home and green space you have.
Considering the added square footage and versatility it offers, many homeowners find conversions to be a highly beneficial and viable option to increase living space.
Q2: How much does it cost to turn a crawl space into a basement?
The cost of converting a crawl space into a basement, or crawl space excavation costs, can vary significantly based on the size of the space (by cubic yard), the condition of the existing foundation, and whether you're converting into a partial or full basement. Our approach is a simple process that guarantees the structural integrity of your house throughout and after the project.
These projects involve excavating dirt floors with heavy machinery, installing permanent structural supports, and enhancing the foundation, all of which are factored into the project cost. For an accurate estimate tailored to your existing house, we recommend a free in-home consultation.
Q3: Can you finish a crawl space?
Absolutely, converting a crawl space into either a finished full basement or an unfinished partial basement is feasible and can dramatically increase your home's living space and add more usable storage space.
Most crawl spaces offer untapped potential that, when properly excavated and finished, can serve multiple purposes beyond mere storage. Depending on your location, this construction project may require a building permit and the advisement of a structural engineer. We work under the advisement of a structural engineering firm for all the projects we take on.
Q4: What are the disadvantages of a crawl space?
The primary disadvantages of a crawl space include potential moisture and mold issues, insufficient insulation leading to energy inefficiencies, and underutilization of potential living space. In Atlanta, a drainage system is a popular investment that a homeowner makes to mitigate these.
Converting a crawl space into a basement can address these issues, adding valuable, usable areas to your home while improving overall conditions.
Q5: What does it take to dig out a basement?
Digging out a basement from a crawl space involves excavation, reinforcing foundation walls, adding new foundation footings, pouring a new concrete floor, and potentially updating plumbing, electrical, and ventilation systems.
Heide Contracting manages this complex process, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with local codes. Converting a crawl space typically takes 8-12 weeks, depending on the project's complexity and scope.
Q6: Can you dig your basement deeper?
Yes, deepening your existing basement to create a full basement involves excavating beneath your home's foundation. This process requires careful structural planning to support the existing house, including enhancing your existing foundation and building new foundation footings and walls.
Q7: How do you excavate an existing basement?
To excavate an existing basement, particularly when converting a partial basement to a full basement, Heide Contracting manages the complex process from start to finish. This includes securing the necessary building permits, reinforcing the existing foundation to support the construction project, and ensuring the new space complies with all local regulations, involving a structural engineer to approve the project.
