Garage Underpinning Winnipeg
Is your garage floor cracking, sinking, or separating from the structure? At Assured Piling, we specialize in garage underpinning in Winnipeg and surrounding areas, offering custom solutions to stabilize and restore structural integrity. Whether you’re dealing with frost heave, soil settlement, or aging foundations, our team delivers reliable, long-lasting support systems tailored to Winnipeg’s challenging soil conditions.
Why Garage Underpinning Matters in Winnipeg
Winnipeg’s climate poses unique challenges for garage structures. With its extreme temperature fluctuations, expansive clay soil, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, foundations often shift or settle unevenly. If left unchecked, this can cause structural damage, water infiltration, and even compromise the safety of the entire garage.
Garage underpinning involves reinforcing or lowering the existing foundation to improve load distribution and prevent further movement. At Assured Piling, our team uses engineered underpinning techniques that are compliant with local building codes and tailored to each site’s soil profile.
Common signs you need garage underpinning include:
-
Uneven garage floor slabs
-
Cracks in foundation walls
-
Gaps between walls and floor
-
Doors that no longer close properly
-
Water pooling near the garage base
Our Winnipeg Garage Underpinning Services
At Assured Piling, we offer end-to-end garage underpinning services for residential and light commercial properties. Whether you’re underpinning to restore structural integrity, prepare for a garage renovation, or accommodate heavier vehicles, we can help. Our underpinning services include:
1. Mass Concrete Underpinning
For older garages with shallow foundations, mass concrete underpinning (also known as traditional underpinning) is ideal. This method involves excavating sections under the foundation and pouring high-strength concrete in stages to create a deeper and more stable footing. It’s reliable, time-tested, and perfect for garages with moderate structural issues.
2. Helical Pile Underpinning
We use helical piles for garages experiencing severe foundation shifting or those located on soft or unstable soils. These screw-like steel anchors are mechanically driven into the ground and attached to the garage foundation to offer immediate stabilization. This method is fast, minimally disruptive, and suitable for year-round installation—even in frozen ground.
3. Concrete Slab Stabilization
If your garage floor slab is sinking or uneven, we offer solutions like mudjacking or slab underpinning to level it out. This involves injecting a stabilizing material beneath the slab or using underpinning footings to support it. This is a cost-effective way to restore your garage’s usability and appearance.
4. Garage Expansion Support
Planning to build a second story or add weight to your garage structure? You may need underpinning to meet load-bearing requirements. Our engineers assess your existing structure and soil conditions to design a reinforced foundation system that supports your expansion plans safely.
