Our Services
Structural leveling, foundation support, drainage, and excavation across Northern Alberta.
Common Failure Indicators
Recognizing these signs early prevents structural deterioration from compounding.
Cracked Cinder Blocks
Block foundation walls develop horizontal and stair-step cracks under soil pressure and freeze-thaw cycling. Left unaddressed in Northern Alberta's climate, they continue to move every season.
Rotting Main Beams
Wood beams in crawlspaces and basement systems absorb moisture and rot — particularly in Northern Alberta where temperature swings drive condensation. Sagging floors are the visible result.
Shifting Perimeter Sills
The sill plate connecting the structure to the foundation shifts as foundations settle. Sticking doors and windows, gaps at exterior corners, and sloping floors are the first signs.
Failed Weeping Tile
Original clay weeping tile from older Northern Alberta homes collapses, crushes, and fills with silt over decades. Water that was once redirected now pools against the foundation.
Structure Leveling & Repair
We lift, level, and stabilize structures that have settled, shifted, or sunk — built for Northern Alberta soil conditions.
Cabin Leveling
Restore remote and lakeside cabins to solid, level footing on any foundation type. Frost heave and organic soil compression are the primary culprits in Northern Alberta — we know how to fix it.
- Seasonal & year-round cabins
- Remote and hard-to-reach locations
- All foundation types
House Leveling
Fix sloping floors, sticking doors, and settled foundations in older rural homes. Northern Alberta's expansive clay soils cause progressive settlement — we stop it and bring your structure back to level.
- Older homes with settling foundations
- Post-and-beam and block foundations
- Heritage and character homes
Garage & Structure Leveling
Garages, shops, barns, and outbuildings that have shifted or sunk on Northern Alberta's challenging soils. We straighten and stabilize them so they last.
- Detached garages and shops
- Agricultural buildings
- Any outbuilding or accessory structure
Foundation Rebuilds
When leveling alone isn't enough. In Northern Alberta, decades of freeze-thaw cycling and soil movement can deteriorate foundations beyond repair — we handle the full rebuild.
- Partial foundation replacement
- Full foundation rebuilds
- Frost wall and footing repairs
Columns & Pads
Interior columns and pad footings that fail cause sagging, bouncing floors. Frost heave in unheated crawlspaces is a leading cause in Northern Alberta.
- Sagging beam correction
- Crawlspace work
- Adjustable steel column installation
Foundation Support Systems
When Northern Alberta's soil can't carry the load at surface level, we drive deep past it to stable bearing ground.
Push Piers
Stop active foundation settlement and recover lost elevation. Hydraulically driven past Northern Alberta's soft, organic, and clay soils to solid bearing.
- Active settlement correction
- Elevation recovery
- No major excavation required
Screw Piles
Helical piles installed past Northern Alberta's frost-prone and weak surface soils. No curing time — build on them the same day.
- New construction & repairs
- Decks, garages, additions
- Immediate load-bearing capacity
Water Management & Drainage
Water is the primary cause of foundation deterioration in Northern Alberta. We intercept and remove it — before it becomes structural damage.
Weeping Tile (Exterior)
Intercept water at the foundation perimeter before hydrostatic pressure builds against your walls. The correct solution for Northern Alberta's high water table and spring runoff.
- Perimeter drainage at footing level
- Foundation waterproofing included
- Can connect to sump pit
Interior Weeping Tile
Capture water entering at the floor-wall joint and route it out. Practical for finished basements and tight Northern Alberta sites where exterior excavation isn't viable.
- No exterior excavation needed
- Routed to sump pit for removal
- Concrete restored after installation
Sump Pit Installation
The collection and discharge point for any drainage system. Essential in Northern Alberta where spring melt overwhelms passive drainage and high water tables persist.
- Properly sized for water volume
- Battery backup recommendation
- Works with all drainage systems
Excavation & Access
Safe, precise excavation for foundation work, drainage, and tight-access sites across Northern Alberta.
Hydrovac Excavation
Pressurized water and vacuum extraction for controlled excavation near utilities, existing structures, and tight Northern Alberta sites where a backhoe creates too much risk.
- Safe around buried utilities
- Works in frozen ground
- Tight access — no full equipment needed
Crawlspace Services
Crawlspaces hide structural, drainage, support, and moisture problems that directly affect the structure above. We handle the full scope of crawlspace repair work — including the jobs others won't take on due to access difficulty and conditions.
Crawlspace Repair
General structural and condition repairs in tight, confined crawlspace environments. We enter where most contractors won't and fix what others leave behind.
- Low-clearance access capability
- Structural and moisture work in one visit
- Honest assessment and fixed pricing
Crawlspace Structural Repair
Beam, joist, and framing repairs addressing structural deterioration that directly causes sagging floors and structural distortion above.
- Temporary shoring throughout repairs
- Pressure-treated and engineered lumber
- Floor plane verified after correction
Crawlspace Leveling & Support Correction
Restoring level, stable footing to structures that have settled due to failing crawlspace supports — columns, pads, and bearing connections.
- Full support grid assessment
- Adjustable steel columns as standard
- Level verified before job complete
Crawlspace Moisture & Water Management
Controlling ground moisture, surface infiltration, and drainage in crawlspaces before they cause irreversible structural wood damage.
- Moisture source identified before scoping
- Heavy-mil vapour barrier installation
- Sump pit integration where required
Crawlspace Columns & Pads
Replacing, upgrading, or installing the interior columns and pad footings that carry floor loads in crawlspace structures.
- Steel columns — no wood posts in wet conditions
- Frost-depth pads where required
- 25-year warranty on installations
Crawlspace Access & Tight-Space Repair
Repair work in severely restricted access crawlspaces — 12 to 18 inch clearance, poor conditions, non-standard entry. The work others decline.
- Experienced in sub-18" clearance work
- Access improvement included if needed
- Hydrovac excavation capability on-site
