Foundation problems are one of the most stressful issues a property owner can face. Cracks in walls. Doors that no longer close properly. Uneven floors. Water in the basement. These are all signs that the soil beneath your foundation may be settling or shifting.
The good news is that foundation problems can be engineered and permanently repaired.
Underpinning is the process of extending a building’s foundation to reach deeper, more stable soil. At AM Screw Pile & Construction, we use engineered helical screw piles to underpin failing foundations. Piles are installed through or adjacent to the existing foundation and driven down until they reach competent bearing material. The building’s load is then transferred from the failing soil to the stable ground below.
In many cases, the structure can also be lifted and leveled back to its original position.
We provide foundation underpinning using engineered helical screw pile systems, structural lifting and leveling of settled buildings, stabilization of foundations experiencing ongoing movement, concrete drilling and cutting for access to existing foundation elements, engineering coordination and certified sign-off on all repair work, and complete site restoration including backfill and grading.
Every repair project is engineered. We work with structural engineers who assess the damage, design the repair, and certify the completed work.
Many buyers walk away from properties with foundation problems. Experienced investors and real estate professionals know that these issues can create opportunity. A distressed property with an engineered foundation repair can become a high-value investment. We work with investors, agents, and property managers to assess, repair, and certify foundations on properties across Manitoba.
If you notice cracks in interior or exterior walls, doors or windows that stick or do not close properly, uneven or sloping floors, gaps between walls and ceilings, water infiltration in the basement, or visible settlement on one side of the building, contact us for an assessment. Many of these issues have straightforward engineering solutions.
