Hi All,
Part of my planning for a whole house backup generator is protecting my foundation from vibration.
When my foundation was poured the jerk used too much sulfur so it would dry quicker in cold weather. So my pipes under the house are all black and the outside of my foundation have some parts falling off.

But Other than the uglies, the foundation is solid.The concern raised i nmy family is that a whole house generator would vibrate though its pad, through the ground to the foundation, and cause the foundation to crumble.
Is this even reasonable? And how do I protect from vibration? Will dirt even transmit that? The generator will be about 12" to 24" from the house.
Many thanks,
