benefits of underpinning

Is it worth it to underpin the basement?

Research has shown that the real estate market in the Greater Toronto Area is growing rapidly. Housing prices have also risen sharply due to demand.

It has made it difficult for many homeowners to buy a new home or for buyers who are just starting to consider purchasing a small house. However, the hopeful thing is that if you are not currently in a position to buy the new square footage that your family needs, our offer is underpinning! In this article, we will tell you the details of the underpinning benefits.

What is Underpinning?

Repairing, strengthening, or increasing the overall depth of a building's foundation is called underpinning. This process is formed by lowering the basement. Many people prefer to add their current basement space to increase the usable square footage of their houses without the hassle of installing plugins. A team of specialists will perform drilling and soil removal operations to ensure the health of your building.

Benefits:

Among the advantages of underpinning, the following can be mentioned:

• Strengthening the Base

Currently, houses are being built in every part of the city. Most buildings are built on very wet soil, which is difficult to maintain. Hence, the foundation of the house must be strong to keep the building well so that it does not collapse with any vibration around that area. The underpinning method can help create a suitable and robust foundation and increase the stability of the building.

• Cheaper

Your basement underpinning will cost less and have less damage than adding a new floor. It would help if you had a permit, several expert teams, and additional materials to add a floor. In addition, since you do not increase the area of ​​your house with underpinning, you will not pay more taxes.

• Improved structural integrity

When you choose a basement renovation method, not only will the residential area of ​​your building increase, but you will also maintain the structural integrity of your home foundation. Due to the age of the building, climate change, and even poor construction, the foundation is damaged. As a result, during the basement renovation process, the Happy Construction expert team strengthens the foundation of your building.

• Increase the ceiling height

Increasing the height of the basement will give more space to your family. The basement can have different uses, which include: a home office, a studio, a gym, or even a party hall! Of course, you can take advantage of this extra space.

• Plumbing, electricity, and heating

During the basement underpinning process, all home facilities, which are usually difficult to access, will be easily accessible. This method also allows the plumbing, old wiring, and proper insulation installation to be renovated to make the basement warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Our expert team can also move the powerhouse to allocate more space to your basement.

• Increase property value

Changing the use of the basement and enlarging it will increase the value of your property, and if you want to sell, you can sell your house at a higher price! Many people need a home with a large basement for different purposes, such as a studio, office, entertainment place, bedroom, or even guest suite.
