How far down under my house can I legally dig? - Straight Dope Assuming that a) I own my house b) I don’t hit any water, sewage, or power lines and c) digging under my house won’t affect the structural integrity of my house or its foundation, how far down can I dig, from a legal perspective?

Building a basement in an area w a high water table I live in Savannah, GA and the area is situated on marshlands This gives us a very high water table Dig just a few feet and you’ll hit water Basements are rare except in the downtown area (which is just built up over the river lever) If I wanted to build a house with a basement in such an area, what would be involved?
