The Versatility of Detached Garages

A detached garage is a valuable addition to your property, offering benefits such as:

1. Ample Storage: Detached garages provide abundant space for storage, keeping your home clutter-free.
2. Workspace: A detached garage can serve as a workshop, allowing you to pursue hobbies and DIY projects.
3. Flexibility: The space can be customized to meet your specific needs, from storing recreational equipment to housing gardening tools.
4. Curb Appeal: A well-maintained detached garage enhances your property’s curb appeal and overall aesthetic.

Unique Challenges of Lifting a Detached Garage

Lifting a detached garage presents distinctive challenges compared to other structures:

1. Foundation Independence: Detached garages have independent foundations, requiring specialized techniques to lift the floor.
2. Alignment Considerations: Ensuring the garage’s structural alignment during the lifting process is crucial to prevent future issues. Additions or changes made after the shift can complicate the lift and may need to be removed.
3. Access and Mobility: Maintaining access to the garage during the lifting process can be complex, particularly if it’s far from the main residence. Winnipeg’s back lane’s may not always accommodate the necessary equipment.
4. Utility Management: Proper management of utilities (electricity, plumbing, etc.) is essential to avoid service disruptions. If your garage is serviced, there must be slack in your connections to ensure they are not affected during the lift.

Mud-jacking: Lifting Your Detached Garage

Mud-jacking offers an effective solution for lifting a detached garage:

1. Thorough Inspection: Expert technicians assess the detached garage’s foundation and structural elements to develop a tailored plan.
2. Strategic Drilling: Small holes are carefully drilled in key areas, and a specialized limestone slurry mixture is injected beneath the floor.
3. Controlled Lifting: The slurry applies controlled pressure to lift the garage floor, addressing settling and restoring stability.
4. Seamless Finish: Injection holes are meticulously sealed, resulting in a level, safe, and visually appealing garage floor with stabilized support.
