What’s Basement Underpinning?
Underpinning basement or basement lowering is essentially a method used to increase basement height. If you feel that your 7ft basement is not deep enough, a basement lowering procedure is the way to go. We can transform your 7ft basement in a basement upwards of 9ft. The method provides many benefits to your home, including increased property value and expanded living space.
The Benefits of Our Basement Lowering
- Increased living space without the hassle of building additions to your home
- Preserves the footprint of your home and doesn’t interfere with your home’s exterior features
- Easier permit approval than building an addition to your home
- Added living space at an affordable cost
Types of Basement Underpinning We Offer
Crawl Space Conversion
One of the most common methods of underpinning is converting a crawl space into a basement. To achieve this, we first dig a hole underneath the crawl space. Then, we construct walls to create a livable basement space.
Bench Footing
Another option when underpinning your basement is bench footing. The process involves installing new foundation walls by digging down from the internal wall just above the existing foundations, to create a bench between the wall and floor.
When you hire us to underpin your basement, you can be sure we’ll give you our expert recommendation. We’ve been in the industry long enough to know what works. The underpinning method we go with depends on the type of basement, house, and budget you have.
