Is underpinning safe for my home during construction?

Basement underpinning is a well-established structural process and, when done correctly, is safe for your home. Scaldino Basement Solutions follows a staged excavation approach, meaning only small sections of soil are removed and new concrete footings are poured and cured before the next section begins. This prevents any single area from losing support for an extended period.

Before work starts, our team performs a thorough assessment of your existing foundation walls, soil conditions, and any adjacent utility lines. A licensed structural engineer provides drawings that guide the exact sequence of work. NJ municipalities require these drawings as part of the permit process precisely because safety depends on proper planning.

Most homeowners can remain in their homes throughout the project. Scaldino Basement Solutions carries the full commercial general liability and contractors pollution coverage required in New Jersey, so you are protected throughout the process.
