North York is full of post-war bungalows and side-splits with low, unfinished basements, which is exactly why so many homeowners here call us about underpinning and lowering. Adding legal headroom turns a cramped basement into a rentable suite or a proper living space. IcyReno has underpinned, waterproofed, and drained North York basements since 2009.
Much of North York sits on clay-heavy soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons, which stresses older foundations and opens up cracks. Combine that with basements that were never built for full-height living, and you get two of the jobs we do most here: engineered underpinning to gain height, and waterproofing to keep the new space dry. We know the permit process at the City of Toronto and the neighbourhoods, from Willowdale to Don Mills, where the water table runs high.
We serve Willowdale, Don Mills, Bayview Village, Downsview, and the rest of North York.
Tell us what your basement is doing and we will tell you how to fix it, no pressure.
