Our Lifting Process: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Initial Consultation
Discuss project goals, timeline, budget, and any constraints.

Step 2: Site Survey and Evaluation
Structural analysis, soil tests , and review of existing utilities.

Step 3: Engineering Plan
Develop an engineered lifting plan with load calculations and target elevations.

Step 4: Permitting and Coordination
Obtain permits, coordinate with inspectors, and communicate with neighboring properties if required.

Step 5: Pre-Lift Preparations
Mobilize equipment, protect landscaping, and install temporary supports.

Step 6: Lifting Operation
Execute controlled lifting with calibrated hydraulic jacks and monitoring equipment.

Step 7: Foundation and Underpinning Work
Install piles, piers, or other underpinning as specified.

Step 8: Releveling and Finishing
Restore level floors, doors, windows, and interior finishes.

Step 9: Final Inspection and Handover
QA checks, code compliance confirmation, and documentation delivery.

Why Lift a House? Key Benefits

Restores structural integrity and level living spaces.
Prevents ongoing foundation-related damage and door/window misalignment.
Enables safe drainage and moisture control around the home.
Enables future renovations, additions, or expansions with a stable base.
Improves resale value and longevity of the structure.

Benefits of Elevating a House in a Flood Zone

Flood risk reduction:

  • Significantly lowers the likelihood of floodwaters entering living spaces during events.
  • Reduces potential water damage to structure and finishes
  • Helps protect electrical systems and utilities
  • Lowers long-term maintenance and repair costs after storms

Insurance and financing advantages:

  • Can improve insurability and loan terms
  • Potential for lower flood insurance premiums
  • May meet lender requirements for certain
  • Mortgage programs or grants
  • Can increase property marketability and resale value

Lifestyle and usability improvements: Enhances safety and comfort during floods

  • Minimizes disruption to daily life during flood events
  • Allows continued access and occupancy when lower levels would be unusable
  • Frees up the flood-prone footprint for dry use (e.g., parking, storage) on elevated levels

Property protection and resilience: Improves overall resilience

  • Enhances safety and comfort during floods
  • Preserves foundational integrity by reducing hydrostatic and buoyant forces on the foundation
  • Enables easier post-storm cleanup and quicker return to normal operations
  • Often compatible with other mitigation measures (e.g., flood venting, properly rated enclosures)

Code compliance and future-proofing: Aligns with evolving floodplain policies

  • Helps meet updated building codes and floodplain management standards
  • May qualify for local, state, or federal resilience programs or grants
  • Reduces risk of future compulsory elevating requirements after major events

Benefits of elevating a house that has flooded

Damage mitigation and prevention of repeat flooding: Addresses ongoing vulnerability

  • Moves living areas above the typical flood depth
  • Reduces risk of repeated water intrusion in future storms

Improved structural safety and durability: Strengthens the building envelope

  • Allows upgrading foundations, framing, and utilities to modern standards
  • Provides an opportunity to replace damaged materials with more durable, water-resistant options

Financial and insurance benefits: Can improve economics after a flood

  • Potential for reduced flood insurance costs post-elevation
  • May unlock access to disaster recovery funds, tax incentives, or grants for resilience upgrades
  • Can increase appraised value and market appeal for buyers seeking flood-resilient homes

Habitability and comfort gains: Restores usability and livability

  • Reclaims usable space above flood levels for daily living
  • Reduces need for costly temporary housing during repairs
  • Improves comfort with better moisture control and ventilation in elevated areas
