Basement Underpinning Hamilton
Building underpinning allows homeowners and businesses to increase their livable square footage at a reasonable expense. It can also address issues with foundation cracks, buckling, chronic leaks, degrading slabs, and mould-friendly conditions. With basement underpinning, not only can you repair existing problems, but you also have the chance to prevent future problems, replace outdated wiring and plumbing, and add feature-rich upgrades to enhance the quality of your home.
Basement lowering increases your market value while also giving you much-needed room to spread out. Whether you’re looking to gain more living space, fixing existing damage, trying to prevent future problems, or need a stronger foundation to add a second story, MAGCOR has you covered. Our unparalleled reputation for honesty and quality work has won our company numerous awards, and, more importantly, loyal customers who are happy to refer us to their friends and family.

What is Basement Underpinning?
Basement underpinning, also called basement lowering, is a delicate process that involves securely shoring up your home while experienced and qualified underpinning contractors carefully remove the old foundation, excavate the dirt underneath, and engineer a replacement foundation. The end result is a more robust home with an increased resale value.
Lowering a basement gives you a more accessible storage area, increases the ceiling height, rectifies structural instability, and gives you more living space at a fraction of the cost of a traditional addition.
Our well-trained and experienced underpinning contractors handle the basement lowering process from the planning and permitting phase all the way to completion. You can expect our crew to:
- Assess your site
- Assist with design, planning, and permits
- Securely support your home
- Remove the dirt in your crawlspace or under your concrete slab
- Pour new concrete footers
- Add walls
- Install a new floor
Foundation underpinning gives you a lot of benefits. You’ll be getting taller ceilings, fixing structural damage, and removing the environmental causes of any damage that may have occurred in the past. Higher ceilings mean your basement is more accessible and comfortable to spend time in. You may even choose to finish it as a rental for a secondary income stream or use it as a mother-in-law suite or game room. During the underpinning process, you can easily replace old, fire-prone wiring, reroute plumbing and drains, add sewer ejectors, and put in radiant floor heating. It’s the most budget-friendly way to increase your home’s liveable square footage.
