What is House Raising?
House raising involves lifting a home off its existing foundation to a higher level. This process can be performed for several reasons, such as:
Flood Protection. Raising your home above flood-prone areas to protect against water damage.
Creating Additional Space. Elevating the house to build a new level or add more usable space underneath.
Foundation Repair. Lifting the house to repair or replace the foundation, stumps, or footings.
Our skilled team at Philip Butler House Relocations has extensive experience in handling all types of structures, ensuring a safe and successful lift for both residential and commercial buildings.
Comprehensive House Raising Services
Initial Assessment. We begin by inspecting the property and assessing the current foundation. Our team determines the best strategy for lifting your house based on the structure and surrounding environment.
Preparation. The house is carefully prepped for the lift by reinforcing the building and ensuring all necessary supports are in place. Our advanced hydraulic systems allow for precise and controlled lifting.
House Lifting. The house is gently lifted to the desired height, whether to meet flood regulations, repair foundation issues, or create space for additional living areas or storage.
Post-Raising Work. Once the house is raised, we handle any foundation repairs or new stump installations needed. We ensure the house is securely supported at its new height and conduct a final inspection for safety and stability.
