how to fill in a wet cellar

Old Old home with hidden wet cellar..want to fill in but not sure with what....dirt or sand or both???


Sorry, it's not that easy nor is it wise. Water is damaging the foundation and you should only be addressing getting that cellar dry, from the outside. Deleting any room is a bad idea, especially a foundation room. You lose access, you retain more moisture, you introduce more moisture to the structure above and thereby dramatically reduce the life and safety of the building.
