Basement Underpinning in Ingersoll, ON

Ingersoll’s heritage homes and established neighbourhoods offer excellent potential for basement finishing and legal apartment conversions. With CAMI and other major employers nearby driving rental demand, a legal basement suite in Ingersoll is a sound investment. We bring our full range of basement services to the Ingersoll area, from waterproofing and underpinning to complete suite builds.

Many older homes in London have basements with ceiling heights under 6’9”, which doesn’t meet Ontario Building Code minimums for habitable space. Basement underpinning lowers the existing foundation and floor to create the ceiling height you need — typically 8’ or more. This is a specialized structural process that involves excavating beneath the existing footings in carefully sequenced sections, pouring new concrete to extend the foundation depth, and then pouring a new floor slab. Our team has extensive experience with underpinning London’s older housing stock, including homes with stone, block, and poured concrete foundations. Every project is engineered by a licensed structural engineer and inspected at every stage.
