Yes, Regina's heavy 'gumbo' clay soil is highly prone to heaving. Proper moisture management, including interior dimple-board drainage and exterior membranes, is essential and can add $10,000 to $22,000 to the budget if foundation remediation is required before finishing.
Homeowners in Regina can expect a return on investment (ROI) of approximately 50% to 75%. Adding a legal secondary suite can significantly increase this value, though it requires higher upfront costs for fire separation and separate HVAC systems.
