FAQs
Curious about the specifics of Basement Lowering & Excavation with Heide Contracting? We have gathered the most common inquiries to navigate you through our specialized process of enhancing your basement. It's our mission to provide you with clarity and confidence at each phase of your basement's transformation, ensuring you're well-informed and at ease from start to finish.
Q1: What does it take to dig out a basement?
Digging out a basement requires planning, advisement of a structural engineer, frequent structural checks, excavation, including foundation reinforcement and soil removal, to ensure home safety and stability.
Q2: Is it possible to dig your basement deeper?
Yes, deepening your basement is a practical option to add space, done with care to preserve your home's structure.
Q3: How much does basement excavation costs?
Excavation costs vary by basement size, soil type, and structural needs. The project costs factor in the cost to dig and the level of finishing desired.
This service gives you the option to:
1. Increase your home's market value by transforming an unlivable basement into a ready-to-finish full basement, offering additional value per square foot at a reduced "below-grade" rate.
2. Dramatically increase your home's market value by completing a fully finished basement, offering additional square footage at its normal rate.
Whether you intend to completely transform your new basement space or leave it as an unfinished basement, we offer a custom quote after a complimentary in-home consultation that allows you to see the total cost of project completion.
Q4: Is it worth digging out a basement?
Expanding your basement boosts usable space and home value, making it a smart investment for added living areas or increased marketability.
Q5: What are the differences between Basement Excavation vs. Crawl Space Conversion?
Basement excavation enlarges an existing basement, while a crawl space conversion creates a new basement underneath an existing house from a crawl space, differing in technique and scope. Both increase your basement's worth and your home's square footage.
Whether you have a partial basement or a crawl space, we can help you increase your square footage with a new basement.
Q6: What are additional cost considerations for digging out a basement?
Additional costs may include structural support, waterproofing (a drainage system), finishing, and utility adjustments, with transparency in all cost details.
