Common Basement Problems We Fix

Moisture & Mold

Musty smells, wet drywall, or basement leaks are common in Winnipeg due to snowmelt, poor drainage, and high water tables. We fix the issue at the root with expert waterproofing systems.

Foundation Cracks & Uneven Floors

Our clay soil and freeze–thaw cycles can cause cracking and shifting. We reinforce foundations and level floors to ensure long-term safety and stability.

Cold Walls & Poor Insulation

Many basements lack proper insulation, causing energy waste. We install high-performance insulation to keep your basement warm and efficient.
