INTRODUCTION

THE UNDERPINNING PROCESS

The project followed a meticulous process to achieve structural reinforcement and stability:

Initial Assessment and Planning:

VMB Group conducted a thorough assessment to determine the feasibility of lowering the basement floor. This phase included detailed consultations to align with the homeowners’ goals and budget constraints.

Foundation Underpinning

Underpinning involved excavating sections beneath the existing foundation in a strategic manner. Reinforced concrete footings were then installed to support and stabilize the foundation at a deeper level. This process effectively redistributes the load of the structure to prevent further settlement and enhance structural integrity.

Structural Reinforcement

To further strengthen the foundation, VMB Group reinforced the existing foundation walls using advanced materials and techniques. This included additional support where needed to withstand the structural demands placed on the home.

Waterproofing and Drainage System Enhancement:

To mitigate future water ingress issues, the project included enhancements to the waterproofing and drainage systems surrounding the foundation. This proactive approach helps protect the home against moisture-related damage and ensures a dry, safe environment.

OUR APPROACH

Focused on delivering structural stability and peace of mind, VMB Group leveraged local expertise and resources to ensure efficient project execution. This approach prioritized quality craftsmanship and client satisfaction.

SOCIAL IMPACT

The project contributed positively to the local economy by employing 50% local labor and sourcing 90% of materials from local suppliers. It enhanced the home’s safety and longevity, providing the homeowners with a secure living environment.

Vlad and the team at VMB are the best of the best!

They just finished a basement walkout for a project I have ongoing in Mississauga and two of my subcontractors and the inspector commented on how it was some of the best concrete work they had seen, and how they were fast, clean, and incredibly accurate!

As a homeowner or general contractor I could not recommend them highly enough!
