What permits are required for a separate entrance?

The City of Toronto requires structural drawings, site plans, excavation permits, and inspections for a separate entrance. Additional approvals like zoning, building, plumbing, or electrical permits may be required depending on the project. We can assist with coordinating the necessary engineering and permit applications.

Will cutting the foundation cause leaks?

Proper drainage and waterproofing are essential when adding a basement entrance. The process involves exposing the foundation, repairing cracks, applying waterproofing membranes, and connecting a dedicated stairwell drain to manage water effectively.

Does a separate entrance increase my home's value?

A separate entrance can add value to your property by providing access for a secondary suite or in-law apartment. It improves the home's appeal to buyers looking for additional living space or rental potential.
