Bench Footing Basement Services

Using bench construction, extra support is added to your home at the corners of the foundation walls.
The foundation structures are widened, and the basement level is lowered to a preferred depth, making for a more stable home.

Our Bench Footing Basement Process
We keep our customers informed at every stage of their bench footing project and provide progress photos and updates along the way. Here is the step-by-step guide to how benching basement is conducted by Beyond Construction’s licensed contractors in Toronto.
Obtain Drawings and Permits
Bench footing requires drawings and city permits because it is a form of structural work. After you have obtained the appropriate documentation, our contractors can then proceed to phase two.
Demolition Begins
Before starting bench construction, everything in the basement must be demolished first. We will take out all items, dismantle equipment, and remove finishing materials.
Excavate the Soil
To deepen the foundation of the house, we first dig a trench along the walls. After digging the trench, we place wooden formwork to prepare for the next stage of work.
Pour Concrete
We use a special chute to greatly simplify feeding concrete into the basement. Our contractors then bring in and evenly pour the concrete by hand into the wooden formwork to create a concrete bench.
Install Basement Waterproofing
After all pipe communications have been made and the concrete benches have been strengthened, basement waterproofing needs to be installed to protect your basement from water and soil.
Pouring Concrete Slab
We ensure the concrete slab is smooth and is installed with a predetermined slope for optimal drainage performance. A concrete slab takes a couple of months to harden but holds enough strength for finishing work after a week. Lastly, we’ll remove the debris, and the bench footing process is complete.
Bench Footing Basement Cost
In Toronto and throughout the GTA, bench footing basement costs range on average, from $300 to $500 per linear foot.
Total costs can fluctuate however depending on factors such as the materials used, the complexity of the construction site, and the width and depth of the bench footing required.
