Our House Lifting Process

1. Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your property, discussing your needs, concerns, and desired outcomes. We work through the planning process, going over elevation and survey requirements.
2. Planning and Permits: Our team handles all necessary paperwork and obtains required permits from local authorities. We create a detailed plan that outlines the lifting process, timeline, and any additional work required.
3. Preparation: We carefully prepare your home for the lifting process. This includes disconnecting utilities, securing the structure, and installing a temporary support system to ensure stability during the lift.
4. Lifting: Using our advanced hydraulic jacking system, we safely elevate your home to the desired height. Our experienced team monitors the process closely to ensure a smooth and even lift.
5. Foundation Work: We are the only company in the state that provides all in-house site preparation, from lifting of the home, new foundation excavation under the home, and installation of reconnection services, to providing a framing crew to rebuild all breakaway walls. From foundation to finish has been our concept for 25 years. Once your home is elevated, we construct a new, raised foundation or extend the existing one. This step is crucial for providing a solid, stable base for your newly lifted home.
6. Lowering and Finishing: Your home is carefully lowered onto the new foundation. We then reconnect all utilities, construct new stairs or entrances as needed, and complete all necessary finishing work to ensure your home is safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

Benefits of House Lifting

House lifting provides significant benefits for homeowners in flood-prone areas. By elevating your house, you reduce flood damage risk, protect valuable possessions, and increase property value. This measure can lead to substantial reductions in flood insurance premiums and creates extra usable space beneath your home.

Our process preserves your home’s aesthetics while improving its flood resilience and ensuring compliance with updated regulations. Most importantly, it provides peace of mind, knowing your home is better protected against flood events.

When to Consider House Lifting in Connecticut

House lifting is an excellent solution for Connecticut homeowners in flood-prone areas or those looking to protect their property from potential water damage. The unique geography of our state, with its coastal regions and river valleys, makes many areas susceptible to flooding. Consider house lifting if:

• Your home is located in a designated flood zone, such as areas near Long Island Sound or the Connecticut River
• You’ve experienced recurring water damage or flooding, particularly during severe weather events common to New England
• You want to preserve a historic home, like those found in many of Connecticut’s charming towns, while protecting it from environmental risks
• You’re looking to increase your property value and create additional usable space, which is especially valuable in densely populated areas of Fairfield and New Haven counties
• Your insurance premiums are high due to flood risks, a common issue for many Connecticut homeowners
• You’re concerned about the long-term impacts of climate change on Connecticut’s coastline and waterways

By elevating your home, you can protect your investment and gain peace of mind, knowing you’re prepared for whatever nature might bring.
