When I first started out in the construction field I was a helper to the GC and we had to dig a wine cellar in this nasty and rocky Virginia red clay mostly by hand as the backhoe broke several teeth in the first foot of the dig. That one was a tough job. Your job portrayed here is most excellent. Good job and thank you for sharing.
Great Video and information. I picked up a few really good tips, thank you! I did my own 1,700 square foot basement. I live in Minnesota it is code to put at least 4" of rock over the poly and put in drain tile and a sump basket. If you get high radon levels it is cheaper to retrofit the system in if the rock is already there. If the water table goes up you are protected. I WILL NOT do a job if they will not put in floor heat tubing, it is cheap to do and a boiler or water heater can be added later. I bought a 20' and 40' conveyors for $3,000, it was cheaper to buy than rent since I will do a few more jobs.
This is great! So are you doing this as a business now as well? Would love to chat!
So cool😍
Thanks for watching!
Pretty amazing.
Incredible job
Thanks! Check out our current dig out job th-cam.com/video/6cj9zDPwIzo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LsIHH74FcTLA6N05
Having a conveyor belt running from outside into the work area so you could just dump the dirt straight onto it and it then dumps directly into a truck or something would save a lot of manual handling...
We're able to do that on the job we're currently on because of accessibility th-cam.com/video/B7191UDu8NM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kg6pE91p0rPMXiP- but on most jobs we cannot!
Plastic increases the moisture level on concrete and the iron inside it over time
Use fiberglass basalt rebar.
Quite amazing.. In my house, this would be almost impossible, solid clay for several feet. Perhaps too difficult..!
That's what handheld jackhammers are for. Harbor Freight and a 4" spade attachment.
How long did it take and how much did it cost?
I'm not sure since this is an older job but we do talk a little bit about general cost in this video th-cam.com/video/ZchQaFTPglE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WAIMCRm2cs44LE_7
Great pace for this type of construction which I enjoy. Nice job with no drama as it is supposed to go, hiring a firm with expirence in this type of job pays dividends. Do you vibrate the concrete or use a loose mix, because when you remove forms concrete seems free of voids? Thanks Ray Stormont
Can you recommend what special water barrier material you guys use when underpinning the walls? So first you dig out a section of dirt, then you put up this yellow membrane before you pour your concrete wall... Is that just the water proof membrane made for doing shower tile? Or what is it called/where do you get it? I think it is a crucial detail to get right.
It's 15 Mil Vapor Barrier, that's the yellow plastic you see in the videos
@@GoldsConcrete Thank you!!!! You replied just in time for me to get the right stuff as I'm at that stage of my project. Have a great day!
@@danielwarzecha2007 Any time!
Can you do this if your house is on clay ? What does a basement dog cost for like a 1400 square foot house
Thats impressive. Hopefully you get an air mover going in those confined spaces and check your oxygen levels with a monitor. Better safe than sorry
@dfnc03, especially when they were mixing and pouring the bags of cement, that's alot of dust to deal with.
This is amazing! Thank you for creating this content. Would you mind sharing approx cost for something like this? I am assuming it is very expensive due to the amount of labor it took to do all that digging!
@2:01 I thought it was great seeing you guys don’t up all of the materials. It shows how much and how long it took. Thanks!
how long does it take the footers to cure before you start the other wall support?
Depending on the size you’d probabaly want to wait two days
This has to be so expensive compared to building a house with a basement from the start.
My back hurts just watching all the shoveling.
I thought it was necessary to leave 2ft width at the base of the concrete house foundation. Ie dont dig straight down.
I would like to have a basement dig out done. I have read that footers should be done in one pour and the same with a poured wall because of cold joints. I have read that cold joints are weak points. My thoughts is though isn't every joint on a block and mortar wall a cold joints?
Thank you for your comment! We shout out to you in this video th-cam.com/video/2lYDesvRxVM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ox4hN-yfPm3UEYfA
Looks awesome, as all your digouts do.
Do you tie the footers together with rebar? Or are they stable enough separately to not need it?
And regarding weather and rain not affecting the work, in your video of the collapsing house from a few weeks back you mentioned the rainy weather around the time of that failure. Is rain in general a huge threat, or is a failure such as that more likely caused by improper digging/ insufficient support left for the foundation?
I'm not sure if the footers get tied together, they do seem to come into the room quite a long way, probably to counter the underpinned wall forces from rolling inwards. I've seen plumbers jack hammer through them later for underslab plumbing that gets too close to exterior walls. Regarding details, it's a soils testing condition, existing building load study, every site could be different regarding the detailing of the footers. Rain isn't a big deal for those who prethink and select the right job types. Good gutters, downspouts with huge leaders piping water far away into yard, proper drainage, visqueen to keep water out around the home. Denver has crazy flash flood rain events, be prepared or suffer.
Great work, i know you said its not bad doing it manually, but I can't actually understand how you would not use a ride on digger like a dingo for this job. It would be so much faster and need a lot less workers.
At my Home Depot in Denver, I have easily 25 guys, clean-cut, strong, and looking for work every day in the parking lot entrance.
@@matthodel946"clean cut" Lmao.
No narration. Just Timelapse and digging.
Why didn’t you use any stone under or rebar in the floor? Wondering if I should use either in my basement dig-out. Thanks!
seems very dumb to not use a compacted stone base for the slab, I would bet that floor heaves and cracks bad. looks like clay rich soil
I am assuming it depends on the soil, where the local water table is, and local codes. I see a LOT of videos on here of Pros laying concrete with no base layer of rock underneath. Still trying to understand when you need a rock base and when you don’t ???
Where did you get the Conveyor? I'm doing step by step the very same process for my house. Been using shovels and buckets and it's taking a lil too long😂😑

How much does it cost on average to add a basement to a 1000sq ft house?
Can you have varying foundation depths if you a basement that’s smaller than the footprint of the house? For example, if your original foundation is 3’ deep but would like a basement that’s 10’ and your not going to undermine the entire foundation.
Yes, we have done that.
How did it take to do the full dig out?
That was so much work 😅, im scared to ask the pricing of a dig out
Hello!! Lol We know what you mean!! Please see our recent video on the cost of a crawl space conversion th-cam.com/video/ZchQaFTPglE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4zSOWu_QE92SardK
That must've cost a FORTUNE! How come everything I see having to do with "tiny homes" is always so costly that it defeats the whole premise behind the idea of tiny homes?
They obviously just used the term tiny house to game the algorithm.
@@letsplaybaby8098 You're right. I guess, by their logic, I've lived in "tiny houses" all of my life- long before anyone heard of such a thing...'cause I've always lived in c.1000 sq. ft. houses.
@@bobbylibertini same. 1000 sqft with 5 ppl. Lol
So how much does a job like this cost
MudMixer!!!
What is the average cost for a digout that size?
th-cam.com/video/ZchQaFTPglE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yuT9LcJ9_hLDd5Qn
You lucky there's no bedrock an foot and half feet down
Yea, that would suck! 🤣🤣
If I did this at my house it would quickly become a Mississippi River tributary pond. Lol. Ugh
Do you contract in Ga.?
What was the final build cost for this?
More than you would want to think, but in Denver we're landlocked and this is some of the cheapest found space.
@@matthodel946 I see, I wouldn't have thought that. Over a decade ago when we were looking for homes to buy in Lexington, KY area, we came across two homes that had a basement added on like this and then later when looking at homes with my in-laws, I got to see another! So, I figured it must not be the most expensive thing to do, since these homes were pretty small to begin with.
What cement did you use for footer wall please?
today there are suction diggers that suck out everything, even stones
That is really expensive!
So if we put some I beams in under a home before we build then come in and dig the out skirts to support and then dig out the middle! They would never know and you would have more sq ft
what resolution do you run your time lapse cameras?
Can we hire you?
Speedy gonsales blixt gordon wow coolt
What did that job cost ?
Had to be 50k+

Thank you! Very interesting...
You need no stinking permits
In Mexico I believe
Holy crap, you know there is a labor shortage when there is a lady in the digging crew... Never seen that before.
Or maybe she just wants to.
@@larnoralacey9339 Who said she didn't want to?
@@larnoralacey9339id look at her tiny little arms and would have that lady removed
They pay better than the dollar tree. Lol
Misogynist . I bet she done a better job than you could ever do
Moving material (the dirt you're removing) twice is just stupid 😐
