Limestone Foundation Repair Winnipeg
Assured Foundations is Winnipeg’s trusted name in limestone foundation repair, helping homeowners preserve the structural integrity of their homes while respecting the unique characteristics of historical builds. Whether you’re facing crumbling mortar, shifting blocks, or chronic moisture issues, we bring the experience and precision needed to restore your limestone basement walls properly and permanently.
If your home was built before the 1940s, chances are your foundation includes limestone—strong, beautiful, but high maintenance.
Why Limestone Foundations Deteriorate Over Time
Limestone foundations were commonly used in early Winnipeg construction due to their local availability and durability. But unlike modern concrete, limestone is porous and heavily dependent on intact mortar for stability.
Common causes of limestone foundation problems include:
Winnipeg’s freeze-thaw cycles
Moisture intrusion and soil pressure
Mortar erosion or gaps between stones
Poor or failing drainage
Settlement from shifting soil or tree roots
Lack of previous maintenance
Without timely repairs, small cracks and gaps can lead to water seepage, wall bowing, mold growth, and eventually structural failure.

Visible gaps or displacement between stones

Our Limestone Foundation Repair Services
1. Tuckpointing & Repointing
Our team specializes in tuckpointing limestone foundations, carefully removing degraded mortar and refilling joints with custom-matched, breathable mortar mixes. This restores structural strength while maintaining original aesthetic appeal.

2. Structural Stabilization
When limestone walls begin to bulge or shift due to external pressure, we use interior bracing systems, wall anchors, or carbon fiber straps to stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement. This is ideal for historic homes showing wall displacement.
3. Limestone Wall Crack Repair
If your foundation has developed visible fractures or gaps, we fill and seal them using compatible materials that allow the foundation to “breathe” while preventing moisture ingress. This method is crucial for maintaining the stone’s natural properties.
4. Waterproofing & Drainage Solutions
Water is the #1 cause of deterioration in limestone foundations. We protect your walls with interior/exterior waterproofing, grading adjustments, weeping tile, and vapor barriers—all while preserving the stone’s historic value.
5. Partial or Full Wall Rebuilds
In extreme cases, where the stone has fully shifted or degraded, we offer limestone wall rebuilds, carefully salvaging original stone where possible and reconstructing with reinforced techniques.
