This is a basement
garage DIRTCO replaced and expanded. The extensive project began
with demolition of the original structure and excavation. The
scope of the project involved drilling 10' deep bell bottom piers,
pouring the foundation floor and walls. The new concrete walls
were waterproofed, backfilled with gravel, lining the gravel drainage
with filter fabric and topdressing with growers mix dirt. Both
sides of the newly poured driveway were retained with rock while
attaching the approach to street and drive.

A steel fence at the
rear of the structure was removed to make room for equipment and
the larger garage. |
|
|
|
| The new
garage will preserve the cozy back yard space behind it with better
drainage and a more level surface. |

| The Bobcat
is used to knock down the old brick wall and roof. |
|

|
|
| The DIRTCO crew is careful
when removing debris to prevent injury or inconvenience for the
client. |
|
| With the
old structure removed, excavation and reinforcing work can begin. |
|

|
|
| The excavation
takes the back corners out farther with a greater depth. Space for
a landing off the patio door is kept as well as saving a shade tree. |
|
|
|
|
|
Careful measurements
are take periodically to ensure proper size and location. The bottom
is now near street level. |
|
|
|
| The slab will be supported
by bell bottom piers drilled 10 feet deep. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special support is engineered
into the bottom of the existing wall next to the house. |
|
|
|
|
The DIRTCO crew has
so far, removed the old structure, reinforced the remaining wall,
excavated to depth and installed bell bottom piers.
