Trusted basement underpinning specialists Serving homeowners in Toronto’s Moss Park neighbourhood
If you own a home in Moss Park, chances are your basement ceiling is between 6’0” and 6’5” — not ideal for modern living or rental use. Moss Park’s Victorian and Edwardian semis and row houses were built with shallow foundations and low basements, and underpinning lets you safely lower the floor and raise ceiling height to 8’0” or more, transforming the space into a functional living area or legal basement apartment.
Rock Bottom Underpinning specializes in basement lowering throughout Moss Park and the downtown-east core, where older downtown homes on tight lots require precision, experience, and structural expertise.
Most basement underpinning projects in Moss Park take 4-6 weeks.
Every home is unique — especially Moss Park’s older semis and row houses — so an on-site assessment is essential.
If you’re considering raising your basement ceiling or lowering your basement in Moss Park, we provide detailed on-site assessments to help you understand:
- Maximum achievable ceiling height
- Structural requirements
- Project cost range
- Timeline expectations
- Rental income potential

Who We Are
Not Just Any Contractor Underpinning Specialists
Rock Bottom Underpinning has spent over 15 years doing one thing exceptionally well: engineering and executing basement lowering projects across Toronto & the GTA.
We are not a general contractor. We don’t do kitchens, bathrooms, or cosmetic renovations. We are structural specialists and underpinning is in our name because it’s all we do.
From century homes in Leslieville to semi-detached properties in the Annex, we take on the complex urban projects that other contractors won’t. Our team works with structural engineers, handles all permits and inspections, and manages every phase of the process from excavation through to a finished, full-height basement.
