Low ceilings, foundation concerns, or an unfinished basement can limit how you use your home. Basement underpinning offers Aurora homeowners a smart way to increase basement height, strengthen the foundation, and unlock valuable living space. MAGCOR provides professional basement underpinning in Aurora designed for long term structural performance and future renovations.
Basement underpinning delivers both immediate and long term benefits that extend beyond additional space.
Lowering the basement floor transforms the space into a comfortable area suitable for entertainment rooms, guest suites, offices, or income generating apartments.
Underpinning redistributes structural loads and improves foundation depth. This helps protect your home from future settlement and soil related movement.
Homes in Aurora with full height, structurally reinforced basements often attract higher buyer interest. Underpinning increases usability and contributes to overall property value.
MAGCOR follows a structured construction process to ensure consistent results on every Aurora basement underpinning project.
We start with an in home evaluation of your foundation, ceiling height, and structural condition. This allows us to confirm feasibility and align the solution with your renovation goals.
Our team prepares a custom underpinning plan that meets Aurora and Ontario building code standards. Permits and structural drawings are handled before construction begins.
Work is completed in carefully planned stages to maintain structural stability. The foundation is reinforced section by section while the basement floor is lowered safely.
Once construction is complete, final inspections ensure compliance and structural integrity. The basement is left ready for finishing or future development.
We provide basement underpinning services across Aurora, including Aurora Heights, Bayview Wellington, Hills of St Andrew, and surrounding York Region communities.
Yes. Many older and newer homes in Aurora have basements with limited ceiling height. Underpinning is a common solution when homeowners want to finish or convert basement space.
The depth depends on existing foundation design, soil conditions, and structural limits. MAGCOR evaluates each home individually to determine safe and achievable results.
Underpinning is performed in controlled stages to protect the structure. While construction is involved, our process minimizes disruption and maintains structural stability throughout.
Yes. Underpinning can stabilize the foundation and reduce further movement that contributes to cracking. Repairs are often combined with underpinning for long term results.
Underpinning increases vertical space rather than footprint size, but the added height allows the basement to be fully used and legally finished, which significantly improves functionality and value.
