Underpinning is a construction process that strengthens a building’s foundation, allowing homeowners to lower their basement floors and increase ceiling height. This technique is ideal for those looking to add more functional space to their homes while improving structural stability.
At Spectrum Contracting, we specialize in expert underpinning services that enhance basement usability. Many older homes were built with low basement ceilings, making the space feel cramped and impractical. Underpinning allows homeowners to gain additional height, making the basement suitable for rental units, home offices, gyms, or entertainment spaces.
Beyond increasing space, underpinning improves a home’s foundation, addressing issues like settling, shifting, or cracks in the walls. This strengthens the overall structure and increases property value. Additionally, underpinning can improve insulation and waterproofing, reducing moisture problems and making the space more energy-efficient.
Our team follows a meticulous process, ensuring every step is completed safely and in compliance with local building codes. We work closely with engineers and inspectors to deliver top-tier results.
