I am trying to sell my 1977 Littleton CO house and the home we are hoping to buy is also in Littleton, built in 1968. Problem: a very interested buyer of my home discovered that our bsmt walls are not floating. I have completed many home improvement projects but nothing along these lines. I had never even heard of floating walls. After doing research, I thought asking advice here would be helpful.
My bsmt floor shows one sign of heaving in one location. It's not noticeable. It was there when I purchased this house and at the time no one involved in the inspection thought this concerning. There has been no movement in my 8 years of living here. Should I go the route of having the walls floated?
Further, I doubt the house we hope to buy has floating walls either. All the homes in Littleton are older. Wouldn't houses experience their movement by now? Would any of you purchase a home knowing the bsmt walls are not floating? Thanks for any help!!
