Types of Basement Underpinning

We know various method to complete your floor-lowering project. Contact us today and get a FREE written estimate for your basement lowering right away!

Mini Piled

We drill narrow shafts and insert steel piles. It helps to transfer the load of the home’s base to deeper and more stable soil layers. Mini piled underpinning is particularly useful in areas with variable soil conditions, restricted access, or environmental sensitivity.

Beam and base

Here we use a reinforced concrete beam instead of steel piles. We construct the beam below the existing floor and put base on it. It becomes a solid 'platform' for the structure's weight. We recommend to contact our team before choosing underpinning method.

Mass Pour

We excavate sections beneath the existing foundation and sequentially pour concrete to create a new, stronger one. Mass pour underpinning is perfect for shallow places, where the depth of the new bottom does not exceed the depth of the basement.
