I proved this flooring is not going to transfer noise due to its construction, padding & not to mention the floor is concrete underneath. 

@James Morrissey - I have, and my two cents is that this should be used after you have some experience underneath your belt.

If a house is on a slab, it sometimes requires drilling through driveways, sidewalks, etc and injecting the solution into the soil through the holes.

And may even appreciate b/c of the dirt underneath it.

The storm cellar is directly beneath the house. The walls have bowed and cracked leading to flooding during rain. Whats the best/cheapest way to solve this? How should I fill it in? Thanks yall

Usually, only heating oil USTs associated with commercial properties are regulated. thus, most home heating oil tanks may and often are taken out of service without any oversight from state regulators.Second- the rules that are in effect for heating oil tanks are usually less stringent than for diesel or gasoline tanks since heating oil tends to thicker and may not migrate as far. as a result, many states just require tanks to be cleaned out. they may also require the tanks to be filled with sand or concrete to prevent collapse. but sampling may not be required.Third- the key to determining if a tank has leaked is to collect soil samples from around and beneath the tank (groundwater also if groundwater is shallow). another quick way to see if a tank is leaking is to "dip" it with a stick that has a paste that turns color in the presence of water. generally, if water has gotten into a tank, it can mean oil has leaked out of the tank (although a certain amount of condensation may be present even where there is no leak so this is not a infallible test).Fourth- if there is currently a tank in the basement, ask the owner if there used to be a buried tank (a/k/a underground storage tank).Fifth, If the tank has impacted the soil, the cleanup generally varies from $25K to $50K though the costs will depend ont he depth of the contamination. i once had a home with a heated pool that had pressurized piping and used diesel. the contamination went down 40 feet and the consultant went crazy excavating the soil to the tune of $400K!!!

It was on a crawl space and we moved all of the mechanicals from the kitchen dining room area to underneath the house by digging down about 4' and building a block foundation area just inside the stone foundation and pouring a new floor and adding a sump pump.

I'd be careful with what type of soil it is on.

Soil conditions are real.. tax's high.. where we got stung was values rising faster than appraisers were willing to give value for and we were in FHA markets so you get stuck with that appraisal.
