People that own an old house have a fascination of whether they have a filled in basement or vault under the floor of the property. Obviously you could search through any old records or pictures, perhaps you could have a dig around the property on the external walls and see if this throws up a clue, like an old vent or windows being visible. The quickest and fastest way is to use ground penetrating radar, as this method is very accurate and non disruptive. I normally carry out my GPR surveys to locate below ground services, hidden drainage, sub soil drainage, land drains, bodged up French drains, culverts, wells, and cisterns, as when these are defective these can cause rising damp issues to a property. In this video I demonstrate what im observing when surveying over a crypt with GPR.
