Your foundation carries everything. Regina Concrete builds footings and walls to the engineer's spec for new homes and additions, then handles repair, crack sealing, waterproofing and underpinning when an existing slab shows trouble. Every job starts with a free written estimate and finishes on time.
The footing is where the building's weight meets the soil. It has to be sized right, reinforced right, and poured on stable ground, or everything above it will move. Foundation installation begins with excavation to the engineer's depth and a soil check, then the footing is formed, rebar is tied, and concrete is placed with no voids.
Walls come next, formed plumb and true, rebar tied to spec, concrete consolidated so there are no cold joints or air pockets. The slab is then cured before backfill, because rushing this step is how cracks start years later.
Once the concrete has set, waterproofing and weeping tile keep groundwater out. This is what keeps your basement dry through the spring melt. The same care goes into every residential concrete project we pour.

Steps to Pour a Concrete Foundation in Regina
Dig and check the soil
We excavate to the depth on the drawings, confirm the bearing soil is stable, and survey the layout and elevations before ordering concrete.
Form and tie rebar
Footings and walls are formed straight, reinforcement is tied to the engineer's spec, and the work is inspected before the pour begins.
Place and finish concrete
Concrete is placed and worked so there are no voids or weak spots, footings first, then walls, using the mix design from the drawings.
Cure, strip and protect
Forms are removed on schedule, walls are sealed or waterproofed, and the foundation is cured before any backfill is placed against it.
When trouble shows
Catch Foundation Cracks Early, Fix Them Right
Small cracks, damp corners, and sticky doors are the first signs. Foundation crack repair seals those early cracks before water and frost can work them wider and deeper into the slab.
If movement has gone further, foundation repair fixes the root cause, not just the symptom. Underpinning deepens or widens a footing that was never adequate for the load. Pairing any repair with waterproofing keeps the problem from returning.
Installation, repair, waterproofing and what foundation work involves in Regina.
Yes. Foundation installation is formed, reinforced and poured to the structural engineer's drawings, footing size, wall thickness, rebar and mix design, and is ready for inspection before the pour.
Watch for stair-step or horizontal cracks, bowing walls, doors and windows that stick, sloping floors or a damp basement corner. Any of those is worth a look, and crack repair early is far cheaper than structural repair later.
Yes. Foundation waterproofing excavates the affected wall, addresses the cracks, applies a proper waterproof membrane and restores drainage and weeping tile so groundwater is carried away instead of pushing in.
Underpinning extends a foundation deeper or wider when the original footing cannot carry the load, common when adding a storey, lowering a basement, or correcting a footing on poor soil.
Yes. We pour footings and foundation walls for additions, tied in or isolated from the existing foundation as the engineer specifies, and matched so the addition settles with the house, not against it.
Homeowner reviews
What Regina Homeowners Say About Their Concrete Foundations
Footings and a foundation wall for a two-storey addition. Poured to the engineer's drawings, passed inspection first try, and they sent photos at every stage.

★★★★★
Had a crack that leaked every spring. They excavated the wall, sealed it properly and redid the weeping tile. Bone dry through the next melt.

★★★★★
Underpinning to lower our basement. Careful, methodical work, and they explained every step so we understood what was happening under the house.
H. S.
White City
★★★★★
Caught a few small cracks early on their assessment and sealed them before winter. Honest about what needed doing now versus what could wait.
