Need Some Extra Space? The Solution is Right Below Your Feet

No matter the size of your home, you always need more free space. This is a common issue for every household. While many people try to solve the space problem by building upwards or expanding sideways, these options are not as efficient as building downwards. Expanding sideways can consume a significant portion of your garden or backyard, altering the dimensions and appearance of your home. Building upwards, on the other hand, can be very expensive and requires major structural changes to the upper floors. The best solution is Basement Underpinning. It’s a convenient, cost-effective, and efficient method to gain more space in your home. Building downwards is less costly, preserves your backyard or garden, and does not trigger a property tax reassessment.

Why Do We Underpin Basements?

Basement underpinning involves excavating beneath your foundation walls and extending your footings vertically, typically by 24″-36″. This process strengthens the existing footings and can significantly increase the height of your basement. The soil beneath the current footing is carefully removed, and a new footing is poured vertically. Temporary jacks support the beams while the new footings are being completed. A new drainage system is installed throughout, along with any necessary plumbing work, and a new concrete floor is poured. This entire process raises the ceiling height by several feet without compromising the usable space, unlike bench footing.

Basement Underpinning: The Smart Solution for Extra Space

During basement underpinning, removing the existing floor reveals the hidden mechanics of your home. This process allows you to carry out necessary repairs, such as upgrading the waterproofing system, changing the plumbing and drains, and inspecting your basement insulation. Addressing these minor repairs promptly can prevent major expenses in the future.

taller basement height
Taller Basement Height Means More Livable Space

One of the main reasons people opt for basement underpinning is to increase the height of their basement ceiling. Older homes often have low basement ceilings, and in Toronto, basement underpinning has become quite popular. A taller basement opens up possibilities for a game room, storage space, an in-law suite, or even a separate basement apartment to generate extra income.

Eliminates Potential Structural Problems in the Future

Weather conditions, soil types, and the age of a building can cause the foundation footing to deteriorate, posing significant risks if left unaddressed. Basement underpinning involves adding a new footing beneath the existing ones and repairing the footings and foundation walls as needed. This process strengthens the footings and eliminates structural problems in the foundation walls.

Value For Money/Cost Effectiveness

Basement underpinning is a valuable investment as it revitalizes your home by reinforcing its foundation. This process also results in a taller basement, providing you with more usable space. If you ever decide to sell your house, you can expect to receive a higher value due to this improvement. Overall, basement underpinning is one of the most beneficial home upgrades you can make for long-term gains.

Understanding Basement Underpinning Costs in Toronto

Here are some factors that can influence the cost of basement underpinning:

  • Size of the Basement: The size of the basement is a significant factor in determining the cost. Larger basements will require more excavation, materials, and labor, leading to higher costs compared to smaller basements.
  • Structural Complexity: If the existing foundation has structural issues or requires extensive reinforcement, additional work and materials will be needed, resulting in increased costs.
  • Access and Site Conditions: The accessibility of the site can impact the cost. Difficult site access, limited space, or obstacles that hinder excavation or construction may require specialized equipment or techniques, adding to the overall cost.
  • Underpinning Method: The chosen underpinning method will also affect the cost. Different techniques, such as traditional mass pour underpinning or more advanced methods like mini-piling or micropiles have varying costs associated with materials, labor, and equipment.
  • Location: The location of the property can influence the cost due to variations in labor and material costs, building regulations, and permits required in different regions.
