Basement Underpinning in Lucan, ON

Lucan Biddulph’s mix of heritage properties and new builds presents diverse opportunities for basement renovation. Older homes may need underpinning to achieve legal ceiling heights, while newer homes often have unfinished basements waiting to be transformed. We provide complete basement services to Lucan and surrounding areas, including waterproofing, finishing, and legal suite conversions.

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.
