Basement Underpinning
One of the best ways to increase the space of a house is to renovate and increase the height of the basement. There are many ways to increase the space of the house, but changing the basement is the best and easiest way. So it is better to check your basement first. Because the basement is part of the existing space of a building, changing and renovating it does not require a permit or tax. That's why most people decide to change the basement first.
Repairing, strengthening, or increasing the overall depth of a building's foundation is called underpinning. Basically, this process is formed by lowering the basement. A team of specialists will perform drilling and soil removal operations to ensure the health of your building. Many people prefer to add their current basement space to increase the usable square footage of their house without the hassle of installing plugins.

Among the advantages of underpinning, the following can be mentioned:
- Less confusion
Unlike traditional home remodeling problems, basement underpinning involves less hassle to renovate, as the team removes the waste by drilling holes in the basement wall and transporting it to the trash through the conveyor belt. Therefore, in the process of renovating the basement, there is less destruction, and dirt and garbage do not enter the house!
- Cheaper
Your basement underpinning will cost less and have less damage than adding a new floor. To add a floor, you need a permit, several expert teams, and additional materials. 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 installation of proper insulation to be renovated to make the basement warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Our expert team is also able to 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 house with a large basement for different purposes such as a studio, office, entertainment place, bedroom, or even guest suite.
Do not forget that if the buyer knows that your basement has been renovated by Happy Construction, they will buy your house with more confidence.

- Structural integrity is improved
In this method, the foundation is strengthened. If the foundation of the building is damaged or worn due to the passage of time or wrong construction and climate change, you can strengthen and protect it by using underpinning.
- Increase ceiling height and lighting
In the underpinning method, the basement floor goes down and this increases the space of the ceiling. The higher height of the basement allows you to install more beautiful and convenient lighting fixtures. You can also use the natural light of the sun in the basement by installing new windows and doors.
- Increase the value of your property
Adding the right area to use for your home and building a new and more functional basement will increase the value of your property. A simple change in the basement can save you a lot of money.
