Stouffville's newer housing stock means most underpinning requests involve bench footing for modest ceiling height increases rather than full structural underpinning. For homeowners looking to finish a basement with a home theatre or gym, adding even 12-18 inches of height makes a meaningful difference. We advise Stouffville homeowners honestly on whether underpinning or bench footing is appropriate for their specific situation.
Full underpinning excavates below the existing footings to lower the floor significantly — used when ceilings are very low (under 7 feet). Bench footing removes a strip of floor along the walls to create more headroom without touching the footings — better for homes already at 7–7.5 feet. We recommend the right approach for your specific basement.
We also provide underpinning services throughout the GTA.
