Common Garage Floor Problems We Fix
Garage floors in Winnipeg deal with a lot — vehicle weight, temperature swings, water infiltration, and the relentless freeze-thaw cycle that erodes soil beneath the slab. Over time, sections settle, creating low spots that trap water, uneven surfaces that damage vehicles, and gaps at the garage door threshold that let in cold air, pests, and moisture.
- Slab has settled away from the garage door threshold
- Low spots cause water to pool inside the garage
- Cracks have appeared from soil movement beneath the slab
- Vehicle undercarriage scrapes when entering or exiting
- Visible gaps between the floor and the garage walls
Lifting Attached & Detached Garages
We service both attached and detached garage slabs. For attached garages where the floor connects to the house foundation, precision is critical — we monitor the lift carefully to ensure the slab returns to its correct elevation without affecting adjacent structures. For detached garages, the process is typically more straightforward and often completed in a single visit.
Our Methods for Garage Slabs
- High-Strength Structural Limestone — ideal for large garage floors with significant settling. Dense material fills voids thoroughly and creates a permanent, load-bearing base that handles the weight of multiple vehicles.
- Hydrophobic Concrete Lifting Foam — fast-curing foam is excellent for targeted areas and precision threshold corrections. Back in service within hours.
The Process
We drill small holes through the garage slab at strategic locations, inject our lifting material, and monitor the rise until each section is back at the correct elevation. Holes are patched after each injection. The garage is typically usable the same day, with no need to remove your vehicles for extended periods.
