Underpinning in Laval and on the North Shore

Is your foundation settling or your basement ceiling too low? Travaux Experts handles underpinning, stabilization, basement lowering and foundation reinforcement, with engineering plans.

Our services

Our underpinning services

Basement lowering

Gain ceiling height by excavating beneath the existing foundation to create a livable basement.

Foundation reinforcement

We extend or widen the footings of a foundation that is settling or needs to support a greater load.

Piles and stabilization

We install piles to stabilize a home built on unstable soil.

Safety

What we check before work begins

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.

Our approach

How your underpinning project unfolds

01

Inspection

First, we assess the foundation and discuss your goals.

02

Engineering plans and permits

Next, the engineer prepares the plans, and we obtain the municipal permit.

03

Excavation in sections

Then we excavate small sections and pour the new footings one at a time.

04

Slab and finishing

Finally, we pour the new slab, install the drain and prepare the basement for finishing.

Investment

Underpinning: a lasting investment

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.

Testimonials

What our clients say about our underpinning work

An impeccable turnkey solution

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!
