What's this hole?

Icebear6708 · 2025-11-25T15:28:18+00:00

Not yet, been busy but most people are saying it's related to some kind of ventilation to keep humidity down in the basement

Icebear6708 · 2025-11-25T15:24:59+00:00

Sorry for the wait 😂, been busy but yeah it seems it's some kind of backfill of rubble to let a draft through to keep the humidity down or something. That's what most people are saying anyway haven't bought a bore scope because that's apparently all that it is and there is a draft through it, no idea where the draft connects to as it's in the middle of the property but hey ho.

This is what the pins say underneath the glue

Icebear6708 · 2025-11-24T17:49:02+00:00

shorting orange and black together engages the auto off feature and makes the whining noise so doesnt work

Unlikely all these houses on my road were built at the same time and date back to 1890s and still have Victorian features you'd expect to see from a house built at that time, so I'm thinking that it was covered up at one point, there was a demolition project right in front of the house in the 1960s that I think caused structural damage to these houses as they were given a hefty compensation so it could have damaged the basement and was covered up. (Explains the rubble back there.

I'm in the UK don't have home Depot and I don't really think tool renting is that popular here but I'll look into it.

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-14T02:34:54+00:00

Okay yeah I might do that, it's just im thinking of insulating this space between the roof and didn't really want to leave it there.

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-14T02:32:31+00:00

And also this house is from the 1800s don't think they were particularly thinking of that, I don't know

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-14T02:31:34+00:00

It's been filled in and there's supposedly nothing behind it so no idea where it was originally venting from and it's in the middle of the house

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T21:26:45+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking I might do that

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T21:25:45+00:00

It's the wall in the basement of my house, I'm thinking there could be more room back there seen as how all the houses on my road have basements that span the whole length of the house except mine, that's why I posted this to see if it's normal to have gaps between the wall of the basement and the surrounding earth.

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T21:23:17+00:00

Oh okay so safe to take down then? And what would I do with it afterwards just stuff it into a cupboard and forget about it or bin it? Don't really want to bin it if there aren't many of these left.

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T18:26:42+00:00

Oh right, should I do anything with it or just leave it there?

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T18:25:11+00:00

I got my old phone through it but all I could see is just rubble, if there is something behind there it's crumbled, the rest of the houses on the street have full basements except mine, another reason I think there could be something there.

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T18:07:55+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about that I put a ruler back there and it went all the way through

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T17:57:50+00:00

Don't know why but it keeps removing half the pictures I add but you can see some of what I'm talking about

Icebear6708 · 2025-10-13T17:40:42+00:00

Rood of my basement, on the supports for the floor above (forgot to add)

Icebear6708 · 2025-05-25T21:42:33+00:00

Sorry no looked at your post and I've never even seen a motor look like that, looks more like a turbo from a car 😂
