Basement Lowering/Underpinning

We are 100% certified in structural repairs. We have the knowledge and ability to convert a crawl space into a basement. Every homeowner always needs extra living/storage space! We can actually take a 3-4 ft crawl space and turn it into a 7-8 ft high basement! In doing a basement conversion we have to take many precautionary measures, including:

• Observe current conditions of foundation and footing.
• We actually start our digging process about a foot or so away from the perimeter (this step stops the current foundation from collapsing).
• When digging is done we install new perimeter footing in front of the 1 ft wide dirt wall we left.
• We then rebuild a new foundation wall in front of the dirt wall we left all the way up to the bottom of the old existing wall.
• Next, we lay a coat of concrete over top of the dirt we left which connects the top of our new wall to the bottom of the existing wall.
• Last, we lay the bottom new concrete floor slab and you have a new basement!
• For smaller areas where you don’t want to lose usable space an additional process would be to underpin your current foundation.
