BASEMENT UNDERPINNING TORONTO

Foundation:

Before installing underpins, we build structural support to ensure that the foundation can support the main house above. You can rest easy knowing that our foundation contractors have ample experience installing new block walls and pouring the concrete foundation.

We provide professional foundation services to maintain the structural integrity of your home when we underpin your basement.

Basement Excavation:

We provide basement excavation services to dig out the space needed to underpin your basement and will address anything that may need repair. Our excavation contractors are experienced with operating machinery for quick and effective excavation and will get the job done thoroughly.

We will only begin a project after we excavate the space and repair any damage that needs fixing.

Concrete:

After the excavation is complete, we use concrete to underpin the basement. Concrete is essential to a property’s structural integrity as it helps to add strength and depth to your existing foundation.

Waterproofing:

After the fact, we provide waterproofing services to protect your new basement from future water damage and moisture.

Waterproofing is essential after you underpin a basement as it helps to maintain the quality of work provided and protects your basement from water seeping in.

Additional Concrete:

After waterproofing your basement, we pour new concrete to ensure that the structure is adequately supported and structurally sound. This concrete helps make sure that your underpinned basement boasts the structural integrity needed to support your home or commercial property.

Our underpinning contractors in Toronto have the skills, resources, and materials needed for concrete finishing. We provide the concrete flatwork you need to ensure that your underpinned basement is a livable space.

Building Structure:

You want the foundation of your property to be stable and durable. Before we underpin your basement, we always study the structure of your property — whether it be a home or building — to maintain its structural integrity.

We use architectural plans and do a walkthrough to inspect your property’s current structure. This helps us identify where to begin.

Legal Compliance:

When you underpin your basement in Toronto, you need to ensure that your project complies with your neighbourhood or commercial building code. For example, you will require a signed agreement from any neighbour with whom you share a wall to confirm their consent.

The Government of Canada has specific guidelines for those seeking a building permit to underpin the foundation of an existing house. When you work with NTL Contracting, you can have peace of mind that we will make sure all the necessary building permits are obtained. We are with you every step of the way.

Road Closures:

Depending on your project’s scope, we will organize any necessary road closures while the work is in progress.

Utilities:

Before you underpin your basement, it is essential to consider the utilities that the project may impact. This is why we make sure to map out any power lines or water pipes that may be affected by the project. We address and work around present utilities to avoid any damage.

Safety Precautions:

We take the necessary safety precautions to ensure that the safety of our customers and any other residents or customers are protected. You can trust us to get the job done safely, securely, and efficiently.

Equipment:

We utilize professional materials to underpin your basement and ensure that the job is done properly. We bring in the necessary equipment to perform the excavation and support the above floors and walls.

Paperwork:

The intricacies and legalities surrounding choosing to underpin your basement can be overwhelming. NTL Contracting will alleviate these pressures by helping you submit the necessary paperwork to ensure your project is completed safely and complies any relevant building codes.
