The existing basement slab in a Staten Island, NY home usually sits higher than the footing top by several inches. Inside Richmond County County, Floor lowering removes that slab, excavates beneath it, and installs a new slab at a lower elevation — typically 12 to 24 inches below the original. Scaldino Basement Solutions pairs the excavation with bench footings where needed so the wall load continues to transfer correctly. The result in Staten Island is usable headroom and a legally finishable basement.

Floor lowering in Staten Island, NY starts with an engineer-signed plan set that documents existing conditions, proposed excavation depth, and interim wall support. Inside Richmond County County, We do not bid this work off a phone call because the variables — wall type, footing spread, soil stability — have to be measured in person. Scaldino Basement Solutions brings the crew, the equipment, and the documentation to make floor lowering a completed permit package in Staten Island. Homeowners get usable height, we get a clean inspection, and the structure keeps its load path intact.
