Basement Excavation to get proper head height

Home / Portfolio / Basement Excavation to get proper head height

The project pictured on the right is indicative of homes in the Denver area where basement areas were finished, but with limited head height. The owners or previous owners did some dig out and got just enough head height to get by. The new owners called Alpine to remove the existing concrete and some of the dirt floor and dig it down another couple feet to get proper head height. Foundation walls are the biggest thing the homeowners over look is when they remove the concrete and the 1-3 feet of dirt that exposes the bottom of the foundation walls, (THEY NEVER EVEN THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE FOUNDATION WALLS AS WELL) so we have to not only pour the new floor but we have to shore up the house and pour new foundation wall extensions as well.

: This picture is a perfect example of the massive amount of foundation forming needed that comes after the initial dirt excavation for lowering floors in a basement or crawl space under a typical Metro Denver Colorado home. Alpine Companies are the Denver area leaders in basement and crawlspaces to basements excavation, conversions and finishing. Alpine Companies provides all our own concrete, concrete pumps and interior concrete finishing services in Metro Denver as well.
