Basement Underpinning
Lower the basement floor and add real ceiling height, engineered and permitted.
Our approach
How we do it, in order.
- 01
Engineer
A structural engineer designs the underpinning sequence before anything is dug.
- 02
Excavate & pour
Sections are dug and poured in sequence so the structure above stays fully supported.
- 03
Finish
New slab poured to the lowered height, ready for a finished basement or suite.
What it gets you
Why it matters.
- 01Adds legal ceiling height for a basement suite
- 02Increases usable square footage without a home addition
- 03Engineered and permitted, not just excavated
