Everyday in NA construction companies build underground/below grade without any issues. These folks didn't know what they were doing and afterwards didn't do what they needed to to fix it. Maybe they just didn't have the resources.
I would have never buried concrete without proper waterproofing. A possible fix (least expensive) would have been digging up and uncovering the house to apply a closed cell roofing foam (3 lb Foam). It would have not only insulated their entire house but would have waterproofed it and prevented many of the rodents and bugs from entering. They should have had proper drainage also.
Looks like the franchise they hired to build their house didn't know what they were doing or was more a fly by night operation.
- syntheticnature 6y agoThey weren't the original builders, with the realtor and seller first directly mentioned under point 1 and again later on. This does seem to be something folks miss, given the other comments under the article. That said, it does look like the franchise the original person hired was both incompetent and fly-by-night, given the comments, and then the original person patched things up just enough to pass muster and got out while they could.
