How to expand a home by breaking through stone foundations
In short: This video demonstrates the technical process of breaking through an existing stone foundation. Watch as Mark McCullough creates the necessary openings to accommodate new plumbing and ductwork for a home addition.
In this demonstration, Mark McCullough works on the Cape Ann house to prepare for a new addition containing a mudroom and a bathroom. Because the structure lacks an attic, the project requires branching new ductwork and plumbing from the existing basement mechanicals into the crawl space below the new rooms. The video focuses on the specific methods used to break through the original stone foundation to facilitate these essential mechanical connections.
