Test, Don't Guess!
I got my permit this week for basement bath/laundry rough-in. Yesterday I cut and removed floor where I want the basin to go and started thinking about the size of the hole (18x30 basin) I need to dig for the basin.
I had planned on placing the basin near an outside wall but now i'm thinking about and the possibility of cave-in or damage to the footing. The soil under the slab is mostly clay. Is there a general rule to follow as to digging near the footing to ensure that I don't cause a disaster?
