Soil and foundation conditions in Manitoba

• A 1986 University of Manitoba study found that most single-family houses in Winnipeg sit on shallow footings over expansive clay. Changes in the volume of the clay moved foundations, causing cracks, uneven floors and leaks through cracked basement walls.

• A 2024 national radon survey found that about 1 in 3 homes tested in Manitoba had radon at or above the 200 Bq/m³ guideline. This figure is not yet weighted and may change.
