I am thinking about trying to or finding someone that may be able to put an opening in our basement wall into the old cistern in our house. When my wife bought the house the homeowner had to put a well in for her to get the loan. They ran all the electric and piping through the cistern so it isnt usable anymore.
Where I would put the doorway in isn't a load bearing wall as the kitchen/dining area is right above it. Our basement stays pretty dry currently, I dont want to cause a new issue with if the tank is actually seperate from the basement wall. I havent had time to go down in the cistern and try to see how thick the wall is where they ran the electric and piping through it into the basement.
Has anyone done this or heard of it being done? I could get a nice space for a nice laundry room.
