Is your foundation settling or your basement ceiling too low? Travaux Experts handles underpinning, stabilization, basement lowering and foundation reinforcement, with engineering plans.
Home » Underpinning
Gain ceiling height by excavating beneath the existing foundation to create a livable basement.
We extend or widen the footings of a foundation that is settling or needs to support a greater load.
First, an engineer assesses the soil, foundation and loads carried by the home. The engineer then designs a suitable underpinning solution, carried out in sections to keep the home stable. We follow the engineering plans and the Québec Construction Code at every stage. Your home therefore stays structurally sound during and after the work.
First, we assess the foundation and discuss your goals.
Next, the engineer prepares the plans, and we obtain the municipal permit.
Then we excavate small sections and pour the new footings one at a time.
Finally, we pour the new slab, install the drain and prepare the basement for finishing.
Lowering a basement adds living space without expanding the home. A higher ceiling allows for comfortable bedrooms and a family room. This work increases your property’s value and usable floor area.

I would like to thank the entire Travaux Experts team for their great work. They completed several projects during the 2022 season: repairing 150 linear feet of water line, rebuilding 600 square feet of paving, replacing 200 linear feet of fencing and resurfacing 1,200 square feet of asphalt. It was quite a big project… A turnkey solution. Impeccable!
