In construction terms "underpinning "is a delicate and 1000 times difficult than building a new house. There is "NO" short-cuts and cannot rush the process |
The process of underpinning is exactly that, "a process" and it unique for each different House Project. Depends very much on the house conditions, for example if the house has sunken and it has cracked already there is more danger and very tedious progress. When we do underpinning is always direct and supervised by our License structural engineer |
Build in 1929 at St.Clair & Mount Pleasant Crack and partially sunk . We were able to saved with the proper process set in place. Did not finish like the neighbor hose that you see in this home page, This House owner save hes investment. |
Underpinning for a Basement Entry -direct access to house- on top of a water bed |
In this case , the space was too narrow to fit a Minni-digger, therefore it was all hand diiging . Every morning ,we will find the ditch full of water and some portions of the trench walls had collapsed. We have to dig this hole about 3 times until finally we were able to install the insulation on the underpinned footing and poured the concrete before it fills up with water again. |
Build right after the WWII Don Mills and Lawrence House. This project included a direct access to the basement this task was difficult to complete, the house was build on top of a Water Bed |
