- randcraw 6y agoBudget constraints were why not, I suspect. It sounds like the house value never exceeded $150K, so adding at least $10K to excavate, membrane, and refill/recover probably exceeded available cash-in-hand. What's more, removing tons of fill dirt above a finished space is likely to be a delicate enterprise without over-stressing or penetrating the concrete domes which were already weakened due to cracking and past patching.
