1.5 story house was jacked up, corner of the foundation jack hammered out then replaced, along with a couple new courses of cinderblocks. The dirt center was dug out, french drain laid in, and a slab was poured to convert the crawlspace into usable storage space. It ended up being more like a half-basement, if there is such an animal.
