Crawl Space Repair · House & Cabin Leveling · Beam Replacement · Weeping Tile
We fix what's under the house: rotted and sagging crawl spaces, failing beams, settled floors, cracked foundations and basements that take on water. Our own crew, start to finish.
What We Do
Foundation, Crawl Space & Waterproofing Services
Our own crew, no subcontractors, across Edmonton and Northern Alberta.
House & Cabin Leveling
Sloping floors, sticking doors and cracking drywall mean the structure has moved. We lift it back to level and support it properly.
Learn MoreBeam Replacement & Support
Failing, undersized or rotted main beams replaced or supplemented, carried on adjustable steel posts and proper pads.
Learn MoreFoundation Repair
Cracked, bowing and settling foundations repaired at the cause, from crack injection to piles and full foundation rebuilds.
Learn MoreWaterproofing & Weeping Tile
Wet basements fixed at the source: new weeping tile, foundation membranes, and sump systems that keep up in heavy rain.
Learn MoreBasement Flood Repair
Drywall cut out after the 2026 floods? We rebuild the basement and fix what let the water in. Booking this winter.

From a Recent Job
Beam Installation & Home Leveling
This is our own crew partway through a recent house leveling job. A new beam runs under the floor system, carried on adjustable steel posts with plates bolted to the beam, so the floor can be brought back to level and the height set precisely.
Sloping floors, doors that stick, and cracks opening at the corners usually mean the support under the house has moved. New beams and adjustable posts are one of the ways we put it back.

Our Specialized Crawl Space Systems
Crawl Space Encapsulation
& Thermal Barrier
What's Included in Every Crawl Space Job
Reinforced Skirting
Impact-resistant, insulated skirting panels engineered for −40°C sustained exposure. Prevents frozen-ground frost migration into the sub-floor cavity.
Vapour Encapsulation
Heavy-duty 20mil polyethylene liners sealed across the entire crawl space floor and walls. Stops moisture vapour from muskeg soil from reaching structural wood members.
Spray Foam / Rigid Insulation
Eliminates the 'Ice Box Floor' effect common in raised cabins. Closed-cell spray foam applied to rim joists and sub-floor creates a continuous thermal barrier with no gaps.
Structural Ventilation Control
Sealed, conditioned crawl space reduces humidity-driven decay. Old 'passive vent' systems accelerate rot in Northern Alberta — we close them off and manage moisture mechanically.
✕ Before — Vapour Damage / Fiberglass Rot
✓ After — Sealed, Insulated, Mechanical Grade
Edmonton Foundation & Waterproofing — Record Rainfall Response
Edmonton Foundation Crack Repair, Waterproofing,
Weeping Tile & Sump Pump Services
Edmonton is experiencing one of the wettest years on record, and residential foundation systems across the city are taking on water faster than local contractors can respond. Saturated clay soils, rising water tables, and aging weeping tile networks are driving a surge in basement seepage, foundation cracks, and sump pump failures — particularly in mature neighbourhoods like Strathcona, Highlands, Westmount, Bonnie Doon, Mill Creek, and the older subdivisions of Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert.
Homestead Foundation Repair is actively expanding our Edmonton service territory for 2026 to help close that gap. We provide foundation crack repair, exterior and interior weeping tile replacement, sump pit and pump installation, damp-proofing, and full structural waterproofing — built specifically for Northern Alberta freeze-thaw cycles and the high groundwater conditions the city is facing this season.
We still have 2026 booking slots available. Most Edmonton waterproofing companies are quoting weeks out — we are actively taking on new assessments.

The work Edmonton homeowners are calling about most right now — and the services we have crews ready to deploy across the metro.
Foundation Crack Repair
Injection-graded polyurethane and epoxy crack sealing for poured concrete and block foundations — stops active leaks before they spread.
Weeping Tile Replacement
Full exterior and interior weeping tile replacement, including clogged, collapsed, or clay-tile legacy systems common in older Edmonton neighbourhoods.

Basement Flood Repair & Restoration — Edmonton
Thousands of Edmonton-area basements flooded in 2026. Insurers' mitigation crews cut out the bottom 2 ft of drywall and pulled the flooring, but many homeowners can't find a contractor to finish the job. Homestead Foundation Repair is now taking flood rebuild projects this winter.
Mobile Home Leveling — Alberta
Mobile Home Tilting, Soft Floors, or Sticking Doors?
Mobile and manufactured homes in Northern Alberta are highly vulnerable to frost heave and muskeg settlement. Because they sit on shallow pier systems, even minor ground movement racks the chassis frame — causing doors to stick, floors to sag, and walls to crack.
We reset failed piers and pads, level the chassis with hydraulic equipment, and restore skirting — so your home stays level through Alberta winters.
Signs Your Mobile Home Needs Leveling
Doors & windows stick or won't latch
Floors feel soft, bouncy, or visibly sloped
Cracks at window and door corners
Visible exterior tilt from ground level
Skirting pulling away or damaged
Piers sunken, cracked, or shifted

How We Work
Two Common Problems, Start to Finish
Two failure patterns we see constantly in Northern Alberta, and how each one gets diagnosed and repaired. These are illustrative walk-throughs of typical work — not records of a specific customer's project.
Settled Log Cabin on MuskegCommon Alberta Failure Pattern
Region
Athabasca region
Soil Type
Muskeg / Clay
Structure
Mid-century log cabin
DIAGNOSE
Step 1
Assessment — Finding the Real Cause
A cabin like this typically shows a pronounced floor drop at one corner, doors that no longer latch, and daylight visible under the sill. The usual culprits are a rotted sill plate that has been wicking seasonal moisture and cinder block piers lifted by frost. We measure the drop across the floor and check each pier against its original elevation before proposing anything.
▸ Floor drop measured▸ Frost heave checked▸ Sill condition assessed
REPAIR
Step 2
Repair — Hydraulic Lift & Structural Rebuild
The structure is raised gradually on multiple hydraulic jacks so load stays distributed and nothing is shocked. Rotted sill timbers are replaced with pressure-treated material. New footings go in below the local frost line, and failed corner piers are swapped for adjustable steel columns on fresh pads so future movement can be corrected without another lift.
▸ Multi-point lift▸ Footings below frost line▸ Adjustable steel columns
PREVENT
Step 3
Prevention — Stopping It Happening Again
Levelling alone doesn't last if the water that caused the problem is still there. We re-establish positive grade around the perimeter so surface water runs away from the structure, and where needed connect sub-surface drainage to a daylight outlet. Without that step, the same freeze-thaw cycle simply starts over.
▸ Positive perimeter grade▸ Drainage to daylight▸ Re-inspection advised

Structure

DIAGNOSE
Step 1
Assessment — Reading the Cracks
Horizontal cracking at mid-height on a block wall is a lateral pressure signature — soil and water pushing inward, not the building settling downward. Near a lake the water table often sits close to grade after spring thaw, and piers can punch down through a saturated bearing layer. Telling these two failure modes apart determines the entire repair.
▸ Crack pattern read▸ Water table noted▸ Bearing layer probed
REPAIR
Step 2
Repair — Piles & Water Management
Helical screw piles are driven past the saturated active layer to competent soil beneath, so the load no longer rests on ground that softens every spring. Collapsed original clay weeping tile is replaced with modern filter-wrapped pipe, foundation cracks are sealed, and the perimeter is regraded.
▸ Screw piles to firm strata▸ Weeping tile replaced▸ Cracks sealed
PREVENT
Step 3
Prevention — Keeping Water Away
With the structure supported and the drainage rebuilt, the remaining work is making sure water has somewhere to go. Downspouts are directed well clear of the foundation and grading is checked along the full perimeter. On lakeside properties this is the difference between a repair that holds and one that needs revisiting.
▸ Downspouts redirected▸ Full perimeter graded▸ Drainage verified
