How do I know my Winnipeg home has settled?
A few telltale signs together usually point to differential settlement, which on gumbo clay is extremely common.
- Floors that slope or feel like they tilt across a room.
- A noticeable dip toward one corner of the house.
- Doors and windows that stick or have gaps at the top or bottom.
- Cracks that are wider at one end.
- A gap opening under baseboards or between the wall and ceiling.

- Baseline elevations recorded across the main floor.
- Helical or push piers installed and load-transferred.
- Coordinated hydraulic lift in small increments, millimetres at a time.

Common questions
Will lifting the house cause new cracks?
Some hairline cracks in drywall or trim are normal during a lift, and they're easy cosmetic fixes. Lifting is done slowly and monitored to avoid structural damage.
