Building a modular home and new foundation in north spirit
Updated: Aug 18
Flip Flop Construction was called to North Spirit Lake to fix a modular home that was sinking and needed proper support. The crew re-levelled the home, built a new foundation to keep it stable long-term, added a sewer shed for winter use and waste management, and finished with a new deck and stairs for safe front door access.
We were called to North Spirit to fix a modular home that needed proper support and a safe entry. The structure was sinking and needed to be relevelled, with a solid foundation and access points added.

The Work
We started by re-levelling the modular home to bring it back to proper height and alignment. From there, we built a new foundation to keep it stable long-term and added a sewer shed to support winter use and waste management.
To finish it off, we built a new deck with stairs to give the homeowner safe, solid access to their front door.
Why Does a Modular Home Need Re-Levelling?
Modular homes rely on proper levelling and support. When they shift, everything from the doors to the plumbing can be affected. Without a foundation and sewer shed, the home wouldn't hold up to winter or daily use.
Why It Mattered
Now it's properly set, protected from the ground up, and has safe, usable access. A modular home that has shifted out of level is not just a cosmetic problem. It affects how doors close, how plumbing runs, and whether the structure can handle the demands of a real winter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if a modular home needs re-levelling? Common signs include doors or windows that stick, gaps forming between the home and its skirting, or visible sinking or unevenness at the foundation line.
Do all modular homes need a sewer shed? In northern and remote communities where above-ground sewer infrastructure is common, a properly built sewer shed protects that system through the winter months. Requirements vary by location and setup.
Can re-levelling be done without a full new foundation? It depends on the extent of the shift and the condition of the existing support. In this case, the home needed both re-levelling and a new foundation to hold that correction long-term.
Do you handle this kind of work in remote communities? Yes, this project was completed in North Spirit Lake, and Flip Flop Construction takes on modular home, foundation, and access work across Manitoba and Northern Ontario, including remote and fly-in communities.
What's included in "access points" for a modular home? In this case, that meant a new deck and stairs, giving the homeowner safe and solid footing at the front door.
