Digging foundations whilst house needs support

Featured Replies

The following work has been carried out to an end of terrace property to enable a rear and side extension:

 

1. The sub floor has been removed

2. The rear of the house (to the ground floor ceiling) has also been removed. Acrow props have been put in place. 

 

Excavations have now started to the side (not the rear). The work is being done by the owner. No building company is involved.  Can excavations for a rear and side extension be done safely in the above circumstances?

 

 

I am not sure starting a new thread with the same question will get different answers?

 

 

It is your neighbour that is taking the risks.  If you are really worried alert your buildings insurer about the possible threat to your property and let them go and have a look?
