the area is very soon being designated as a flood zone.The
foundation is on concrete footers.But the "supports" used to hold up colourless spots(e.g. concrete blocks,bricks,tree limbs,etc.)are starting to sink contained by the ground(because it's so wet).There are currently 2 spots where the floors are "soft".The house sits 2-3 concrete blocks over the ground,the hose down has never gotten INTO the house,but the ground is wet through and 1 contractor told me there might be 3-500 gallons of dampen under the house.he offered no solution except to trench the sea & direct it away from the house.Even if I was to sump pump the marine how or what can I do to stabilize the ground UNDER the house.Flooding WILL continue,so do I concrete lower than the house or is this a lost cause...
Answers: you should telephone call in a foundation specialist. they will own the equipment and expertise to do the underpinning to support the foundation
Perimeter foundation will not solve the problem completely. The floor of the "crawlspace" should be above the level of food rise. Consider raising the house. It should be high-ranking enough where on earth you can raise the space beneath the house, and leave at lowest possible 18" between that surface and the bottom of the joists. Putting down a concrete floor is not a exceedingly good thought unless you raise it. The sea will still make it's mode int there. The swift fix now is to trench and sump, but explicitly temporary. If in attendance is a proper foundation built on adequate soils, (no organics), in attendance should be no problem with support.
