Built for Scarborough’s post-war bungalows, backsplits, and clay-heavy soil.
A big share of Scarborough’s housing stock dates to the post-war boom — bungalows and backsplits from the 1950s through ’70s with low basement ceilings that don’t meet today’s legal-suite requirements, which is exactly what underpinning is built to fix. Scarborough also has pockets of clay-heavy soil and, closer to the bluffs, some properties dealing with slope-related drainage — both worth an honest on-site assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all quote.

FAQ
Can underpinning really make my bungalow’s basement legal for rental?
In most cases, yes — raising ceiling height through underpinning is the most common route to meeting legal basement apartment requirements in older Scarborough homes.
