No Project Too Big Or Too Small
We have a great deal of experience in both house lifts and underpinning allowing us to help maximize the area of you house and truly utilize your basement space. We have the experience to deal with challenging conditions and can help you add space and value to your basement areas. An underpin is a complicated and multi-part project that involves supporting and excavating underneath alternating sections of basement walls in order to extend the depth of the basement floor.
For most homeowners, underpinning is required when the original foundation is not strong enough to support the house. This is usually a result of:
-
the soil supporting the foundation has changed in some way e.g. through subsidence, expansion/contraction due to moisture, large trees nearby, damaged plumbing left unrepaired.
-
the properties of the soil were not adequately understood during the original design of the foundation – meaning the foundation is not adequate for the conditions.

The kids are gone!
When this couple became empty nesters it was time to figure out what to do with their basement. The kids didn’t mind the low ceilings but they wanted it to be an adults space. Their 125yr old home had sandy soil so extra safety precautions were taken. A full height ceiling, waterproof foundation and even a walkout door was installed. This couple finished it off with a very luxurious design.
Infloor Heating and Big WIndows
We love the challenges that come with our work. This young family wanted to spend more time in the basement, but it was cold and had no natural light. With some pre-construction meetings we understood that in floor heating and larger basement windows would be the top priority. Delivering this family what they wanted gives us a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
Basement Income Apartment
This client agonized over the decision to underpin their basement and make space for an investment basement apartment. We spent the time to show them the steps to get from 6ft to 8ft6″ ceilings. Then we put in everything necessary for bathroom and laundry drains. The space now has happy long term tenants in a dry and full height baement.
We’ve Been Building For 5 + Years
Underpinning is the process of supporting or strengthening the foundation of an existing house, building or similar structure. This is accomplished by reinforcing the existing foundation, strengthening the soil by introducing an expanding filler, or extending the foundation so that the load is distributed over a greater surface area.

Client Testimonials
“As an engineer, I can appreciate how critical it is to do underpinning safely and with quality! This is not a part of a renovation that you cut corners on. The New Depths team did a fantastic, professional, high quality job on our project. Mark, Michael and the entire team cared about doing the job right, on-time and with quality. They love their craft and have a great culture and it shows. We had a pretty big project 3-months,125 year old house, pretty big footprint, in floor heating and polishing. 110% recommend this company!!.”
“If I could give Mark and his amazing team more then 10 I would! Mark was great from the start: he was the only company that would accept the challenge of our old house with a massive tree in our front yard; he consistently communicated with us, always keeping us updated on progress; he reassured our nervous neighbours; he kept on budget and on schedule. This has been the best experience for us and we have been through many reno’s. I would highly recommend Mark and his team.”
“Mark and his team did an amazing job with our basement underpinning renovation. Mark was an absolutely pleasure to work with. His communication was always clear and complete with all necessary details. We felt very informed and expectations were very well managed at all times. We would highly recommend Mark and his team! Thanks Mark for the fantastic work!.”
