Richmond Hill Basement Problems? Fast Help

The homeowners we work with are usually wrestling with one of these. We solve them properly — not with a quick fix that fails in two years.

Cramped Ceiling Height

Basement ceiling under 7 feet — finishing the space feels claustrophobic and a legal apartment is impossible at that height.

Cracked Foundation Walls

Recurring or stair-step cracks signal active settlement. Patches keep failing because the underlying bearing problem continues.

Leaking Basement

Water at the wall-floor cove every spring. The original weeping tile is clogged, cracked, or aged out.

Stalled By Permits

Building permits, structural engineering, and the plan-review process feel like a maze. We handle all of it.

What Homeowners Say

“We finally finished our 1920s Annex basement after underpinning lowered the slab to a real 8-foot ceiling. The crew warned us about every dust event in advance, swept the site daily, and finished a week ahead of the engineered schedule.”

Megan R.

The Annex, Toronto

“Bought a North York bungalow specifically to legalize a basement apartment. TBU handled drawings, the City of Toronto permit, structural engineering, and the finishing. Tenant moved in two months after the pour cured. Zero callbacks since.”

Daniel T.

North York, Toronto

“We had three contractors quote our Leslieville semi. TBU was the only one who explained the shared-wall sequencing and walked our neighbour through the process before booking. Underpinning, waterproofing, and a sump pump done in five weeks.”

Richmond Hill Underpinning Questions

Does the Oak Ridges Moraine affect underpinning?
It can. Properties within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area have additional approval steps for any work affecting drainage or grade. Interior underpinning is generally exempt; exterior excavation work may require Moraine review. We screen during the site visit.
Do you do projects around Mill Pond?
Yes. Mill Pond and the Jefferson neighbourhood have older detached stock that benefits from underpinning. Lake Wilcox proximity raises water-table considerations on some lots; we pull soil reports as needed.
How long is Richmond Hill's permit timeline?
City of Richmond Hill plan review averages 4–6 weeks. Comparable to Markham. Add Moraine review (4–8 weeks) only when applicable.
Typical Response Time: 2 Hours
