Underpinning Services
Basement underpinning services involve the modification, strengthening, and stabilizing of the foundation of a structure.
There are several effective methods for underpinning a foundation, including excavating the earth beneath a concrete pad. Underpinning may include the introduction of new footers, new walls, and a new floor.
Underpinning is a cost-effective way to add additional square footage to a building, and can also add both square footage and headroom.

Benefits of Basement Underpinning
Boosted Ceiling Height and Better Lighting
Many basements were not constructed with the intention of becoming living spaces, and their ceilings are therefore often far too low. As a solution, underpinning involves adding temporary support to your home, allowing for excavation operations underneath – after excavation is complete and the new floor and foundation reinforcements are finished, your space is for occupancy

Strengthen Your Foundation
Foundations can experience damage caused by erosion, accidents, and frost upheaval. Building codes have evolved over time in Ontario, meaning that not all homes have foundations built for these occurrences. As a result, foundations, footings, and eventually, framing can experience damage expensive to repair. Underpinning solves these support issues, stopping the damage from worsening. After underpinning, the foundation will last as long as the rest of the structure.

Upgrade Outdated Plumbing, Wiring, and Insulation
During an underpinning project is also a great time to update any wiring conduits, plumbing pipes, or insulation. You can also add energy-saving features, such as a radiant heating hydronic system that circulates warm air or water, to your foundation during this step.

The Permit Process Can Be Less Expensive and Complicated Than Building an Addition
Since underpinning does not necessarily add additional square footage, the cost of permitting will often be less expensive. Permit costs are based partially on the number of inspections your project will require. Underpinning can generally be inspected fewer times than a project requiring new footings, masonry, framing, flooring, roofing, electrical, or plumbing inspections.
