Can you guys PLEASE start operating in Suffolk!!!?!??

Cool.

Not worth the price.

Thank you, this was helpful.

That’s cool but what do you do when it’s not a home being built but an already built home?

Solve? You need to pour some concrete. A lot of concrete.

My grandparents had a floor like that and the house was built in 1903 so if it is not broken why fix it?? Unless you want to waste money

This is not a problem at all. If you're the contractor you are ripping these customers off telling them it is wrong! It's not! 200 year old homes have this and are straighter and stronger than modern floors. If you are the customer, get rid of the evil contractors that are stealing you blind.

They used install dirt floor over dirt.

Following my boss around with a note pad has been my saving grace. 😂

I have the same issue. I need to level the first floor and there is nothing to jack against. Who's idea is this? So frustrating

My house built 1916 had posts holding beames down the middle of house the posts were straight into dirt held for 105 years before i had to replace i xut a foot off the bottom and riped it down and made window boards old growth df slowing my table saw with new blade

It was a DYI 60 years earlier

without footing the house sinks.

Arizona and New Mexico has entered the chat screaming …. “Adobe”

Pretty common in old houses that originally had a dirt floor basement.

In really dry climates? Yes.

well depending in the soil conditions and how old the homes is u can do exactly that.

My Dad built his dream retirement house in the late 90's. His massive basement was all wood. They did corrugated drain pipe under a foot of gravel with concrete footings for three pillars.

What’s under

Never happen down here in Florida 😂

08098 common.

Michigan I see this all the time on old homes

It looks great. Dry and no rot. Cover that back up and call it a day! 😂

Jack it up

As long as no water is touching the wood it will be fine. They did that because they built a roof over the whole house. See the floor 8n context.

💥🔥

So its like double floor where they put new floor above old one? I suggest not to remove the underfloor 😅

Buddy that ain't 2x4 that's a true 2x3 😅 jk old lumber was milled different. Also that lumber is probably older and still better than anything you can buy today at any store I guarantee it. I stand by that. 😊

Is it wrong because they put wood floors in the basement? Cause my basement is straight earth no cement

Not unusual at all. Lots of old homes are built this way in some areas.

Hwy when i notified landlord of basement flooding and sub pump not working.... Dude them just Jackhammers a hole in the base off the subpump.. hole.... And drops a swimming pool Submersible pump down in the hole... Prob fixed? Nope now the wall has pressurized water peeing out of it... Od say your woods good 😅

If it’s been there for 40 years, it’s fine.

I’ve seen this many times as a Restoration Contractor.

If found lots of drugs particularly recently even outside under the first row of siding

That some poormans concrete or what 😂😂

Wonder if you could just pour concrete after removing floor as a layer of protection but that might be a horrible idea. Seems like removing all the 2 by 4 is not worth is because that’s the foundation of a house that is already built.

You better salvage that floor if youre replacing it

Home diy gone wrong.

Just build right on top lol. Floor leveler. Ha!

I seen additions fix this to code. You dig under place jacks, then make a wood mold and pour the cement directly under the walls and make poured makeshift brick wall

What could you do?

Time for homeowners insurance to pay for burnout

Seems like it's been there 60 yrs and nobody knew. Is it really a problem at this point?

What actual problems are you seeing? Any rot? Any soft spots? That floor is most likely from a time before concert slabs were used. If it's held that long without issue, then don't break it now. Just my opinion.

Not uncommon, depending on your region and when the home was built. Wood being way more available than concrete. A good sign, your home doesn't have a drainage or termite problem.

Yes. Out basement in our mill house is like this. Oak layed right over dirt

Wait till you see a peir and beam

Knock it down and start over? That cant be up to code with no slab...

Absolutely have seen this. Concrete wasn't in common use till early 1980's. If you buy an house that is Adobe this is very common
