adding foundation to existing d/w
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 7:16 pm
I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on adding a foundation to an existing d/w home.
My husband and I are about to close on a d/w home that is skirted around the bottom. We would really like to have it on a cement/brick foundation. I have heard that once you move an existing home it can cause problems with cracking walls/pipes so on and so fourth.
My question is this. Would it be possible to have someone come in and place a foundation under the home where the skirting is without moving the home to do so? I would love to hear any comments you may have on this subject.
The reason we would like to do this is due to the fact that the home is in a very rural area and there are lots of critters that I don't want getting under the home and destroying anything.
Again, thank you for any and all responses.
