WHAT IS BASEMENT FLOOR LOWERING?

Basement floor lowering is an excellent process of excavating the existing basement floor to create additional headroom and easily usable space, greatly improving your home’s functionality.
The cost to dig out a basement involves removing the old concrete slab, excavating the soil underneath, installing a sturdy new engineered foundation retention system, and pouring a new concrete floor.
This can increase ceiling height and allow for more functional living space while improving moisture control in your basement.
However, it is a complex renovation process that requires careful planning and expertise to ensure the structural integrity of your home.
