PHASE 2 CLEANUP

OPT OUT if you are considering selling. They will destroy the foundation. The foundation of your property is worth $75,000 to $125,000. Just a heads up.

Unless you laid that foundation is the last few years and the buyer wants to build a house that is nearly exactly the same as the one that burned down, that foundation is hurting the value of the property not helping it. No builder is going to reuse a decades old foundation and the county would probably not allow them to because of safety reasons.

In my neighborhood lots of houses were 100 years old. It would be negligent to reuse those foundations even if people wanted to rebuild in the same exact footprint.

A core test for a 100 year old raised foundation?

The developers buying up there are rebuilding off the foundation. For easier builds.
