Also known as underpinning, basement lowering entails digging out the basement floor several feet down.
This will add value to your home by ensuring the basement can easily be accessed and used. Also, underpinning enhances the integrity of the structure thus uplifting the face of your home.
Generally, these basements are about 6 ft high, and lowering the basement by 2 ft for a total of 8 ft for headroom is the desired height.
In many older homes, the basement was never meant to be a living space with low ceilings and exposed ductwork reducing the amount of headroom.
Basement lowering is no easy feat considering the number of resources required.
However, it goes a long way to expand your living space and will increase the value of your house.
