After the furnace work was completed, I took a lot of pics and videos of what is under the interior of the house. We worried about the foundation, so I had a guy in to look at things. He was very upfront and said that, for a house as old (remember this is California) as ours, things looked great. We do have one or two small areas to address, but for the most part, we’re in great shape. So here’s the video I put together, followed by some other images.
Since this video, we removed those boards used for belly-crawling across the old ductwork and Able Septic pulled out all the old bits of pipe. These images and video were taken while they were also under the house redoing the drain pipes on the south side. We also sealed up the old supply and return ducts and reinsulated–the latter meant removing all the chicken wire–but more on that later. Finally, we installed lighting–that’s right, should you venture under the house now, no need to wave a flashlight around.
This is what it used to look like under the house, so, yes, things definitely have improved down there.
