What is Basement Underpinning?
Put simply, with basement lowering, we’re taking out your old foundation, digging down to create more space, and then building you a new, stronger foundation. You can underpin a portion of your basement to deal with an area that’s been structurally compromised or lower the entire room to create a comfortable living space to enjoy. Basement underpinning solves a wide range of problems, like perpetual mould, foundation cracks, subsidence, and flooding. Older homes may need to repair a failing foundation, or you may find your current foundation simply isn’t strong enough to support an additional story.
The basement underpinning process takes precision, experience, and attention to detail. Your home must be assessed and a plan must be created to adequately support the structure while you remove the old foundation and pour new footings. You need permits, a structural engineering report, architectural drawings, and periodic inspections to ensure everything is up to code.
