Hi, looked at a big house built around 1900. Basement under part and crawl space under the rest. It seems like the "ceiling" in the basement and even in the crawl space is made of concrete. Did they build like this around 1900? Is it a good or bad solution? Feels spontaneously like it should be a "moisture-proof" solution and a very "stable" construction? The parquet floors in the rooms above the crawl space are also very well-preserved and haven't really "settled." I think it depends on the solid (?) foundation? Very grateful for tips and experiences regarding this. Buggaren
entirely possible that it could be concrete. take a picture in the crawl space
My previous house, built in 1969, was a split-level + 1.5 stories above.
The slab between the split-level floor and the "ground floor" was concrete.
Why would that be a disadvantage?
It is very stable and durable. What are you worried about?

Thank you. No, my feeling is also that it should be both stable and durable. However, I have a bit of bad experience with moisture, and that's really where most of my concerns lie. But even from a moisture perspective, a concrete floor structure should be among the best you can have?
