What is house leveling?
House leveling is the process of raising a foundation that has settled unevenly and re-supporting it so the structure sits level again. It is done with piers (usually helical or push piers) and hydraulic lifting equipment, measured against an elevation survey so the correction is controlled, not guesswork.
How do I know if my Regina house needs leveling?
Look for sloping or bouncy floors, doors and windows that stick or have gone out of square, cracks that are wider at the top or bottom, and visible dips in the floor. In Regina these usually mean the gumbo clay under one part of the footing has shrunk or shifted, dropping that section of the house.
How much does house leveling cost in Regina?
House leveling cost in Regina depends on how far and how much of the home has settled, and falls in the major repair range of $24,000 to $60,000 or more. Pricing is driven by the number of piers (typically 10 to 30 at about $300 to $700 each for helical) and access. A free on-site assessment with an elevation survey gives you an exact number.
Why a proper lift has to go below the frost line
Regina's active clay sits in the top six feet of soil, swelling and shrinking with moisture and freezing in winter. If you lift a house on shallow supports, the next wet-dry or freeze-thaw cycle can drop it again. We support lifts on piers that reach below the 6 ft frost line so the correction stays put.

Frequently asked
Will leveling cause new cracks?
Cosmetic cracks can appear or reopen as the home returns toward its original geometry. They are easily patched and are far less serious than the structural movement being corrected.
