FAQs

Everything you need to know before we begin. Clear answers for a seamless transformation
How much height can I add to my basement?
Most underpinning projects add 1 to 3 feet of height, depending on the depth of the exterior sewer lines.
Is underpinning safe for my house?
Yes, when done by professionals using sequential stages, it is a very safe and standard engineering practice.
Does underpinning fix a wet basement?
Yes, because we install brand-new drainage and waterproofing as part of the process, it permanently solves moisture issues.
What is the difference between underpinning and bench-footing?
Underpinning extends the wall down, while bench-footing leaves a concrete "bench" around the perimeter to support the foundation.
Do I need to move out during underpinning?
It is highly recommended to move out during the excavation phase due to noise, dust, and the temporary loss of utilities.
How long does the process take?
A standard underpinning project for a 1,000 sq. ft. basement takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
