BASEMENT UNDERPINNING
BASEMENT UNDERPINNING
Did you know that you can convert the unused space in your home into a livable area? Basement underpinning, also known as lowering a basement, is the solution. Many homeowners want to increase their living space but have limited land to expand. Lowering your basement can unlock this potential.
Through basement underpinning, you can add height to an unfinished basement or crawl space, transforming it into a usable, finished area. This process not only expands your living space but also strengthens your foundation, increasing the load-bearing capacity to support an additional story or improve structural stability.
If you're a homeowner in Atlantic or Cape May County looking to explore basement underpinning, ABBA Construction Group is here to help. We specialize in basement lowering solutions that add value, functionality, and long-term durability to your home.
What is Basement Underpinning
What Is Basement Underpinning?
Basement underpinning is the process of removing soil from beneath a concrete slab or crawl space to lower the basement floor. After excavation, a new lower support level is constructed, followed by the installation of concrete footings, new foundation walls, and a new slab to increase depth or stabilize an existing foundation.
The key benefits of basement underpinning include:
Improved Accessibility: During the underpinning process, hidden systems such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation are exposed. This provides an ideal opportunity to upgrade outdated components, improve waterproofing, and bring older systems up to modern standards.
Increased Ceiling Height: Many older homes have low basement ceilings, which can make the space feel cramped and unusable. Underpinning increases ceiling height, transforming your basement into a more open, comfortable, and usable living area.
Structural Stability: Foundations can weaken over time due to poor soil conditions, water intrusion, or past construction errors. Underpinning reinforces and stabilizes the foundation, helping to prevent future structural issues and improve overall safety.
Cost-Effective Expansion: Basement underpinning adds square footage to your home without expanding the footprint. Since the work takes place below the main living area, it causes minimal disruption and can be a more affordable alternative to building an addition.
At ABBA Construction Group, we have the knowledge and experience to handle every phase of the underpinning process—from excavation and footings to foundation wall support and concrete floor replacement. We provide safe, code-compliant basement lowering solutions for homeowners across Atlantic and Cape May Counties.
