Foundation crack repair - structural epoxy injectionDryShield's epoxy tier, for bonding structural cracks where strength restoration is the goal. Same floor as polyurethane, higher ceiling. Neither the $800 floor nor the $2,500 ceiling this guide used to show is on their page.
Foundation crack repair - polyurethane injection (leaking crack)DryShield's polyurethane tier, for stopping active leaks with a flexible seal that tolerates seasonal movement. HST and finishing work are not included unless quoted. The $500 floor this guide used to show is not on their page.
Exterior waterproofing, as part of a basement-lowering projectNusite prices this only where exterior work is needed; an interior waterproofing system on the same job is $5,000 to $8,000, and the waterproofing line as a whole is $5,000 to $15,000.
Underpinning a 1,000 sq ft basement lowered by 2 feet (total project)Nusite's worked example at their own $50 to $80 per square foot underpinning rate, over a four to ten week timeline. Permits, engineering, waterproofing, plumbing and finishing are all priced on top.
Bench footing - priced by floor areaBench footing keeps the existing footing and steps the new floor in from the wall, so it is cheaper than underpinning but gives up perimeter floor area. Nusite's timeline is four to eight weeks.
Structural engineering drawings for underpinning permitStrong Basements' Toronto figure for the engineer to design the underpinning around the home's structure and soil and produce a drawing set for the permit application and construction. Some design-build firms fold it into a project package instead of billing it separately. Neither the $1,500 floor nor the $6,000 ceiling this guide used to show is on their page.

Frequently asked questions
What does a proper Burlington concrete quote look like?
A solid Burlington quote itemizes site prep, mix and thickness, reinforcement, finish, jointing and disposal, then the payment schedule and warranty. A vague one-line price is a red flag, so compare like-for-like scope across three bids.
Can I get free Burlington foundation and underpinning work quotes?
Yes. A free on-site estimate is standard among local foundation contractors. ConcreteFinder lists the Burlington companies with their public phone number and website, so you can line up two or three visits yourself and compare scope side by side.
Are these Burlington rankings paid placements?
Burlington rankings are not paid. The 10 companies here are ordered by a review-volume-weighted Google score and light verification checks, and no one can pay to move up. In Burlington, 67% of rated companies clear 4.8★, so small gaps matter.
Do I need a permit to underpin a basement in Burlington?
Always. Lowering a basement by underpinning or bench footing is structural: it needs a building permit, stamped engineering under the Ontario Building Code, and staged municipal inspections. Expect a longer, controlled Burlington schedule than flatwork, though the below-grade nature means it is not limited to the pour season.

What's the best time of year for foundation and underpinning work in Burlington?
Because foundation and underpinning work in Burlington is interior or below-grade work, it runs year-round rather than waiting on the pour season. The best crews still fill up in busy stretches, so ask early.
