One thing to check for your health and family: Radon
Since you’ve now got a pit, you also have the prime location for a mitigation system. At a minimum, you can get a Radon test kit at the hardware store (I know Menards carries these) for about $20 that has a sticky card that you mail away for analysis after a set time.

Even better you can get reliable digital meters to get real time info.

While thats true, a digital meter is at about 5x the cost of a one-time disposable test. I didn’t want to scare him off (or delay the test) because of cost. If the disposable test shows a positive reading for radon, I’d recommend skipping the digital meter anyway and hiring a company that does professional readings as well as installation of mitigation systems.

Municipalities by me will loan out radon testers. Obviously varies by location, but worth checking with the town.
