What Is Basement Underpinning?
Basement underpinning is the process of strengthening your foundation by excavating it and adding extra footings to spread the building’s load evenly.
While it may sound complicated (and it actually IS a complex process), basement lowering will be easy for you with our professional team. Regardless of our affordable prices, which start from just $65 per square foot, we don’t compromise the quality.
Basement underpinning is your way to invest in extra livable space profitably. The WillFix team will carefully investigate it, fixing any potential issues and giving you an opportunity to completely redefine your ceiling space.

Our Step-by-Step Basement Underpinning Process
WillFix team always does its best to provide you with seamless basement underpinning services. The process itself can be challenging, but we take care of all the risks for you. All you need to do is contact us and wait until the job is completed. Here’s how it works:
Initial consultations
You can contact us using any convenient method: by phone, email, online chat, or our contact form. We will get back to you and answer all the questions you may have. We also set the date and time for a more thorough on-site consultation.
Obtaining permits
Our team obtains all necessary permits to ensure that your project complies with Toronto residential building codes for underpinning.
Starting home improvement
Once we have set the design, planned the works and obtained the necessary permissions, we will start excavating the soil beneath your foundation. Once the basement renovation begins, we need to support the foundation load with additional construction at the same time to ensure its stability.
Basement reinforcement
Our team uses steel beams, concrete benches and other options to reinforce your home’s basement, depending on your circumstances and budget. Once we increase the ceiling’s space, we check the plumbing, electricity, and other potential issues. We then leave your home completely spotless and ready for any other work you may want to do. Enjoy your new, strong foundation for years to come!
