Here are four foundation underpinning methods we use for Basement Lowering in Toronto, ON, CA.

Basement Lowering: The Concrete Overpour Advantage 🏗️

For many Toronto homeowners, the Concrete Overpour Underpinning Method is the smart choice for gaining ceiling height. It combines structural safety with budget efficiency.

How We Do It: We strictly follow the Ontario Building Code using Sequential Excavation.

Prep: We remove the old floor and excavate in numbered stages (1, 2, 3).

Modify: We trim the "lip" of the old footing to ensure a clean connection.

Pour: We install forms and pour new concrete that overlaps the original structure. Unlike other methods, this is done in a single pour, no extra day needed for grouting!

The Cost: Because it is faster and uses standard materials, rates start at $350+ per linear foot (standard depth). This makes it the most budget-friendly engineered option.

Why Choose Overpour? It provides a wider, stronger foundation base and gets your project finished faster.

Non-Shrink Underpinning Guide 🏗️ for Basement Lowering in Toronto!

If you are converting a basement into a legal unit, structural safety is the priority. We use the Non-Shrink Underpinning Method, a premium technique designed to eliminate foundation settlement.

How We Do It: We follow a strict Sequential Excavation process mandated by the Ontario Building Code.

Demolition: We remove the existing floor.

Excavation & Pour: We work in numbered stages, pouring new footings but leaving a 2-inch gap at the top.

Non-Shrink Application: After curing, we hand-pack that gap with non-shrink grout (dry pack). This creates a rock-solid bond that does not shrink as it dries.

The Cost: Because this is a labour-intensive, premium process, rates in Toronto start at $380+ per linear foot for standard depths, and $420+ for deeper excavations.

Why Choose Non-Shrink? It is the most reliable way to ensure your new, higher basement is safe, code-compliant, and built to last.
