Our Underpinning Basement Services

Underpinning construction is commonly sought out in situations where an existing basement is less than eight feet. This low ceiling is not deep enough and thereby does not meet the desired height requirements for a functional living space.

Our crew will take your six-foot crawlspace and lower your floor to create a basement that is more comfortable and habitable. In addition, your basement will also receive a complete renovation of its underground sewage system and a full house interior waterproofing service with a sump pump installation.
