What the permits show

1,576foundation repair permits in 2021–2025, up from 767 in 2011–2015. That's about double.
1970sNeighbourhoods built mostly in the 1960s and 70s have the highest permit rates, ahead of the city's oldest areas.
Almost nonein areas built since 2000. Newer homes are built to newer standards, and most are too young to need repairs.

How to read this map

  • It counts permits, not problems. A permit means someone repaired or replaced a foundation with City approval. Plenty of repairs, like sealing small cracks, don't need a permit, and some work is done without one.
  • Per 1,000 homes is the fair comparison. Big neighbourhoods have more permits simply because they have more houses. We divide by the number of detached, side-by-side and duplex homes in City assessment records, and only rate areas with at least 300 of them.
  • Busy areas aren't necessarily worse. A high rate can also mean owners there are investing in their homes. Winnipeg's clay moves under every neighbourhood; this map shows where people are acting on it.
  • Permits marked "Foundation Repair" or "Foundation Replacement". Foundations poured for new buildings are left out. The latest year runs to September 29, 2026.
