Cinder Block Foundation Repair Winnipeg

Why Cinder Block Foundations Crack and Fail

Cinder block foundations, common in older Winnipeg homes, are strong but prone to cracking due to external pressure, moisture buildup, and seasonal ground movement.

Common causes of cracks in cinder block foundation walls include:

• Hydrostatic pressure from wet soil

• Winnipeg’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles

• Poor drainage or grading

• Soil erosion or settling

• Aging mortar joints and materials

These issues often start small—such as hairline cracks in cinder block foundation—and progress into visible bowing, crumbling, or leaking. Don’t wait until you’re dealing with water damage or a collapsing wall.

Our Cinder Block Repair Services

1. Foundation Crack Repair

We seal and stabilize cracks in cinder block basement walls using professional-grade injection materials and surface sealants. Whether it’s vertical, horizontal, or stair-step cracks, we apply the proper method based on the crack’s cause and severity.

2. Exterior Cinder Block Foundation Repair

Exterior pressure often causes bowing cinder block walls. We relieve soil pressure and reinforce the wall using wall anchors or steel I-beams to stabilize the structure and prevent further movement.

3. Repointing and Tuckpointing

Cracked or deteriorating mortar joints? We perform tuckpointing cinder block foundation repairs to strengthen the wall and prevent moisture penetration. This is especially important for maintaining the integrity of older foundations.

4. Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

For minor bowing or movement, carbon fiber straps can be applied to stop progression. These are thin, strong, and nearly invisible after installation—perfect for finished basements.

5. Waterproofing and Sealing

To prevent future issues, we offer sealing cracks in cinder block walls, installing proper drainage, and applying exterior waterproof membranes. No more water leaking through the foundation.

6. Block Replacement and Wall Rebuilding

In cases of crumbling cinder block repair or structural failure, we remove damaged sections and rebuild the affected portion using modern code-compliant methods and materials.
