In practice, basement underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing the foundation of a house by adding additional support underneath. This is accomplished by carefully removing sections of the foundation in groups, and then adding new footings underneath. This creates a deeper, more solid foundation to build upon, or strengthen the existing structure.
Underpinning a home can add much-needed ceiling height, which allows homeowners to complete remodeling projects like finished basements or home additions.
