Basement Underpinning

What is Basement Underpinning and What Does it Entail?

Basement underpinning strengthens a building’s foundation by adding support, especially if damaged. It involves installing supports below the footings and can also increase basement height for more space, enhancing functionality and home value. The required underpinning service varies based on customer goals and the home’s condition.

Underpinning for Toronto Homes

Underpinning strengthens and stabilizes Toronto homes, preventing foundation issues caused by soil movement or age. It increases basement height, adding valuable living space and improving property value. Additionally, underpinning enhances structural integrity, ensuring safety, and reducing the risk of future repairs, making it a smart investment for homeowners.

Underpinning

This process typically involves digging up soil beneath your basement, resulting in a lower surface. We’ll also restore the strength of the initial foundation.

Lowering

Basement-lowering services allow for additional living space. The typical height of a basement ranges from 7-9 feet. In Toronto, low, dysfunctional basements are very common.

Bench Footings

This service can be more cost-effective for homeowners with a tight budget while still adding more height to their basements. It involves adding new footing alongside the existing foundation, reinforcing the structure without excavating.

Excavation

The soil around the existing foundation is excavated. The depth of excavation will depend on the specific needs of the project.

Reinforcing

Next, the foundation is reinforced with steel beams or concrete to support the weight of the building.

Underpinning

Ensure proper drainage around the foundation by grading the landscape and installing drainage systems. This prevents water from pooling around the perimeter, which can seep through walls or windows and cause damage.

Backfilling

Lastly, the soil is backfilled to secure the new footings in place to help stabilize the new foundation and prevent any movement or future damage.
