Manitoba’s Premiere Structural & Foundation Specialists

Identifying potential foundation issues is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your home. In Winnipeg, where soil conditions and climate can impact foundations tremendously, keep an eye out for the following signs:

Cracks in Walls or Floors:

Inspect your walls and floors for visible cracks, especially those that appear suddenly or widen over time.

Uneven or Sloping Floors:

Walk through your home and pay attention to any noticeable slopes or unevenness in the floors, as these can indicate foundation settlement.

Sticking Doors or Windows:

Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows may be a sign of foundation movement affecting the alignment of your home's frame.

Bowing or Leaning Walls:

Check for any signs of walls bowing or leaning, particularly in the basement. These can suggest pressure from the outside soil.

Basement Water Issues:

Persistent water intrusion, dampness, or mould growth in the basement may signal foundation cracks or waterproofing issues.

Cracks in Exterior Stucco:

Examine the exterior of your home for cracks in the brickwork, stucco or masonry, as these can indicate foundation stress.

If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to consult with a professional foundation expert promptly. North Rock Consulting Group offers comprehensive foundation inspections in Winnipeg to assess and address potential issues.

North Rock Consulting Group employs advanced and proven foundation fix methods to address various issues and ensure your property's stability. Our expert team is committed to delivering long-lasting solutions tailored to your specific needs. Here are some of the foundation repair methods we utilize:

Underpinning:

We may use underpinning techniques such as helical piles to strengthen and stabilize the foundation by extending support to deeper, more stable soil layers.

Crack Injection:

We utilize crack injection methods to address and seal foundation cracks effectively. This involves injecting specialized materials into cracks, reinforcing the structure and preventing further damage.

Structural Bracing:

Structural bracing involves the installation of interior or exterior support structures to strengthen and stabilize the foundation, especially in cases of lateral movement or bowing walls.

Xypex Repair:

Xypex repair involves the application of Xypex crystalline waterproofing products, which penetrate the concrete to resist water and provide lasting protection against water-induced damage.

Carbon Fibre Stitching:

For vertical cracks in foundation walls, we often employ carbon fibre reinforcement. This lightweight yet robust material is applied to the affected areas, providing additional strength and preventing further movement.

Waterproofing:

Foundation waterproofing is crucial for preventing water damage. We implement exterior and interior waterproofing methods, including drainage systems, sealants, and membranes, to safeguard your foundation from moisture intrusion.

Grading and Drainage Solutions:

Correcting the grading around your property and optimizing drainage systems is crucial for preventing water-related foundation problems. We assess and implement solutions to redirect water away from the foundation.

The duration of the foundation repair process can vary based on the specific issues identified during the initial assessment. Factors such as the extent of damage, the chosen fix methods, and environmental conditions all contribute to the timeline. At North Rock Consulting Group, our commitment is to provide efficient and timely solutions without compromising on quality. Here are general estimates for common foundation repair scenarios:

Minor Repairs:

Repairs may be completed in a matter of days for minor issues such as small cracks or localized settling. This includes the time needed to prepare, apply, and cure materials.

Moderate Repairs:

Repairs involving more extensive damage or the use of advanced techniques like partial underpinning or structural bracing typically take 2-3 weeks after the permit is received. This allows for thorough assessment, planning, and precise execution of the chosen repair methods.

Major Structural Repairs:

In cases of severe foundation damage requiring comprehensive solutions such as underpinning, the repair process may extend to several weeks or months. This ensures a meticulous approach to stabilizing the foundation and addressing underlying issues.

Weather Considerations:

Weather conditions, especially in regions like Manitoba with distinct seasons, can impact the repair timeline. Winter conditions may slow down certain repair methods, while spring and summer provide more favourable conditions for outdoor work.

Client Input and Approval:

The client's responsiveness in providing approvals, feedback, and necessary documentation can also influence the overall timeline. Open communication and collaboration streamline the process.

It's important to note that these are general estimates, and the specific timeline for your project will be discussed during the consultation and assessment phase.
