Underpinning a basement in Seattle:

You may be considering underpinning a basement in Seattle because it is too short. Many basements in Seattle were not originally built to be habitable. Rather, they were meant to be storage spaces only. Because of this, quite a few basements are only 5 or 6 feet tall. Underpinning a basement in Seattle solves this issue by digging down further. This process adds ceiling space so that you can remodel your basement into the rental or mother in law unit. This is not a small project, but once it is complete you will have likely have paid yourself back in equity, and added 20-50% more livable space to your home.

What to consider when underpinning a basement in Seattle?

If you are underpinning a basement in Seattle you may be thinking about some of the following:

  • How many feet do you want to dig down?
  • Will you underpin the entire basement, or work around stairs?
  • Where is your water table?
  • Will you need a structural engineer during the permitting process?
