Signs Your Edmonton Home Needs Foundation Repair

Due to Edmonton’s extreme temperature changes, soil expansion and contraction can quickly worsen small structural issues. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it may be time to schedule a professional inspection.

Interior Indicators of Foundation Movement 

  • Wall Cracks: Stair-step cracks in block walls or diagonal cracks in poured concrete.
  • Drywall Damage: Horizontal or zig-zag cracks near doors and windows.
  • Sticking Doors & Windows: Doors that rub, won’t close properly, or windows that become difficult to open.
  • Uneven Floors: Sloping, sinking, or bouncing floors on the main level or basement slab.

Exterior Indicators of Foundation Problems 

  • Exterior Foundation Cracks: Vertical or diagonal cracks wider than 1/8 inch.
  • Bowing or Leaning Walls: Foundation walls that bulge inward from soil pressure.
  • Separation Gaps: Gaps forming between siding and foundation walls.
  • Spalling Concrete: Crumbling or flaking concrete indicating deterioration.

Early intervention with foundation repair in Edmonton can prevent costly structural damage and water infiltration.

Why Edmonton Homes Need Specialized Foundation Repair

Edmonton’s clay-heavy soils absorb moisture and expand during wet seasons, then shrink during dry or frozen conditions. Combined with Alberta’s intense freeze-thaw cycles, this constant soil movement places ongoing pressure on your foundation.

Without proper structural reinforcement, this leads to:

  • Cracked concrete walls
  • Bowing basement walls
  • Foundation settlement
  • Water seepage and leaks

Choosing a local foundation repair contractor in Edmonton ensures your solution is engineered specifically for Alberta soil and climate conditions.

Have Questions About House And Basement Foundation Repair?

Is Repairing Your Foundation Worth It?

Repairing your foundation is always worth it. Increasing the longevity of your building’s foundation and protecting it from structural damage and water infiltration ensures long-term safety and stability. Addressing foundation issues early is the first step in proper home maintenance and prevents costly repairs down the road.

How Much Does Foundation Repair Cost in Edmonton?

The cost of foundation crack repair can vary depending on the extent of damage and the repairs required. For private residences, multi-residential complexes, or commercial properties, you can expect foundation repair costs starting at $2,500 and up. Getting a professional inspection helps determine the precise scope of work and ensures accurate pricing.

Does Foundation Repair Affect Home Resale Value?

Yes — positively. Any foundation repair that addresses structural or water issues can increase the resale value of your property. A home or building that is free from structural damage and water infiltration is easier to market and sell compared to one with unresolved foundation problems.

Will Foundation Repair Damage My Landscaping?

We take every precaution to protect the landscaping surrounding your foundation repair area. Plywood sheets are typically laid down before starting the project to minimize disruption. Be sure to ask your estimator how your specific foundation crack repair needs may impact your property.

Which Are Better for Structural Foundation Repairs: Push Piles or Helical Piles?

While Abarent can offer both pile types, choosing the right solution for structural foundation repairs depends on your property’s soil conditions, foundation type, and long-term stability requirements. For detailed guidance on which structural foundation or foundation underpinning solution is right for you, please refer to our Hydraulic Push Piles or contact us directly.

What Should I Look for in a Contractor to Fix the Foundation of My Older Home (40–80 Years)?

When choosing a contractor to repair the concrete foundation of an older home, it’s important to ensure the work is done properly and safely.

  • Experience: Look for a contractor with experience working on older concrete foundations, as they understand the unique challenges that come with aging homes. Abarent Construction has over 36+ years of experience repairing foundations in Edmonton.
  • Credentials: Make sure the contractor is licensed and insured, (APEGA permitted) providing peace of mind and protection during the project. 
  • References: Ask for references from past clients to verify the quality and reliability of their work.

Transparency in both the work being done and the associated costs is a top priority. This commitment to clarity and professionalism is one of the key reasons homeowners trust that we will deliver a structurally sound foundation every time.

Michael Abbott

It is terrific to see that your company’s motto of “Quality without Compromise” is more than just words… The job was completed ahead of schedule and the workers ensured that when they left, the yard looked just like it did when they arrive. Well, actually it looked better…

Don and Eve Neil

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. After this past weekend’s deluge, our basement was left completely dry.

Aileen & Wayne Dembicki

Abarent provided a 3-page, itemized list of the specific work to be done at each stage of the project, including descriptions of optional issues (including additional costs) that might arise during the work. The company president did the initial walk-through for their estimate and later went through it, line by line. He pointed out potential problems and things we had to prepare for during the work (extra cracks, concrete dust, effects on neighbors, etc.)… Repairing a foundation is a very traumatic event for any householder because all of your house investment is (literally!) in the air. If you have to do it, call Abarent. They are professional – we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Permanent and Reliable Foundation Repair Solutions

Your home or building project requires a solid and structurally sound concrete foundation with adequate load-bearing capacity to retain property value and prevent costly future structural damage. That’s why our professional concrete foundation repair services offer efficient and reliable solutions for foundation stability problems.

Whether it’s your primary residence, place of business, or an investment property, you need a professional foundation specialist guiding you through foundation crack repair work, including proper water drainage solutions, to ensure lasting results and prevent water infiltration.

Left untreated, foundation cracks can lead to extensive damage to your home’s structural integrity, making professional concrete foundation crack repair crucial for effective foundation stabilization and preventing settlement issues.

Epoxy Crack Injections and Other Foundation Interior Repairs

Some homeowners experiment with DIY epoxy crack injections or other interior repair methods, which often fail to withstand Edmonton’s harsh weather cycles, provide adequate frost protection, or account for local clay soil conditions. This highlights the importance of professional concrete foundation repair services.

Moisture can seep in through temporarily filled cracks, causing further foundation movement, and structural cracks can reopen and widen over time. Proper foundation repair techniques and comprehensive moisture management systems are essential for long-term structural performance.

A professional foundation inspection service reveals the full scope of the problem and evaluates adjacent issues caused by a leaking basement or cracked foundation wall before implementing appropriate repair solutions.

In some cases, depending on your property development plans, you may want to consider replacing your concrete foundation entirely or lowering the basement floor level to expand your living area and increase your property market value.

We make every project clear and simple for homeowners:

  • Thorough foundation inspection service

  • Abarent’s Contingency-Proof Client Care Program

  • Accurate cost estimate (no sticker shock)
