    What Is Basement Underpinning?

    Basement underpinning in Toronto is a specialized construction process, that involves extending the foundation deeper into the ground. It strengthens and stabilizes a building’s basis.

    As urban spaces become more compact, homeowners in Toronto do it to increase basement depth and create additional living or storage space.

    Beyond space creation, underpinning also addresses foundation settlement issues, ensuring homes remain safe, secure, and structurally sound for years to come.

      Basement Floor Lowering Methods We Use in Toronto

      All basements are unique in terms of construction, condition, and location. Half the basic steps in underpinning Toronto might be unnecessary for your basement floor lowering. Our basement underpinning in Toronto contractors can implement multiple time-tested methods and technologies to find the most efficient solution.

      Traditional Mass Pour

      It is the most common method and the one we use in Toronto most of the time. A cost-effective and straightforward process of pouring the concrete section by section.

      Mini Piled

      The one we use when the poor soil condition requires extra support in Toronto (the vertical piles) for the foundation to make it firm and steady.

      Beam and Base

      An advanced technology that implies a strengthened concrete beam and full-scale footing replacement. Rarely used in residential areas, such as Toronto, but is still available.

        You can’t waterproof a foundation that has long exceeded its purpose. Increased humidity, cracks and leaks are major red flags. Even a tiny foundation crack is a threat not just to your comfort, but to your home’s safety as well.

        You need foundation crack repair in case you:

        • See multiple cracks, unevenness, or slits in wall joints in your basement;
        • Know that your house didn’t get a proper renovation in the last 10-15 years;
        • Notice moldy small and increased humidity, but can’t identify the source of them.

        We have been helping Toronto residents to fix their basements for over 20 years now and have all the necessary certifications for it.

        Concrete in your basement walls was never made to last for ages and withstand the immense water pressure from the soil. The walls bend and bow, deform and lose the structural soundness. The best way to fix the issue is to repair the damaged area.

        The Willfix team has over 20 years of experience in concrete crack repairs. We know how to do it right:

        • Only top-quality hydraulic cement will be used in the process;
        • Seal the cracks efficiently — with no chances of them appearing again;
        • Restore the original look of your walls so they don’t look repaired at all.

        A concrete crack repair is never the final solution because it doesn’t protect your walls from the groundwater’s degrading effects, but it’s enough to restore your foundation’s original structure.

        Basement cracks are relatively harmless when small, but the frequent rainfalls, snowy winters, and sometimes — extreme temperature changes can make a small crack expand dramatically overnight.

        For every basement crack repair, whether the crack is around the window frame, on the floor, or on the wall — we have a professional solution:

        • Epoxy injections for small and hairline cracks;
        • Hydraulic cement and sealing for wider cracks;
        • Full-scale basement structure restoration for the worst cases.

        The only unchanging aspect is the result: you get your problem fixed with no chances for it to appear ever again.

        Epoxy crack injection is the fastest and the least expensive way to fix a crack in your basement. It’s one of the most popular wet basement repair methods, but it won’t work with cracks that already leak — only with the ones that are potentially dangerous.

        Epoxy crack injection is the perfect option for basement repair when the cracks are:

        • Tiny and just potentially dangerous;
        • Relatively wide (under ¼ of an inch) but there are few of them;
        • The consequences of poor construction techniques.

        Willfix professionals use only high-quality epoxy with commercial-grade ports that leave no chances to the tiniest hollow spots in your basement walls.
