Underpinning refers to the process of reinforcing an existing foundation. It is likely performed when a homeowner likes to raise the ceiling height of their basement. Custom Concrete Forming Inc. takes pride in our experience and knowledge in lowering basements in GTA .
From the start of the excavation to removing all the dirt and concrete slab to forming and pouring the underpinning and then replacing all the pipes and repouring the new slab, we specialize in doing them all.
Underpinning is done to
- Gain extra height in a shallow cellar room
- Create a cellar where no cellar currently exists
- Use sub floor voids to form extra rooms
