In a Concrete and steel building, how do I jack up my basement apartment and isolate it from the rest of the building? Oh, and by isolating, I meant using a "building envelope" concept to make something like a tyvek barrier or something to keep my air clean and free from whatever is in theirs. Sorry I'm kind of new to all of this. :) |

The space originally had dirt floors and when they added the floors, they used standard wood to support it so even though the floors can be reinforced, it will be a huge undertaking. The building is owned by my friend and as a college student, I was excited to hear that I had a place to live rent-free while I get my education, but I am now much less convinced that it's a good idea. |

The floor joists were eaten by termites in one corner and there is a related mold issue (the termites eat mold as I understand) this has caused the walls and floors to drop a centimeter or two. |
