This service involves the process of raising a residential structure from its foundation. An example includes elevating a home to mitigate flood risk or to create additional space, such as a basement or increased headroom under the existing structure. Skilled professionals utilize specialized hydraulic jacks and support systems to accomplish this task safely and effectively.
Elevating a dwelling offers several advantages. It can protect properties in flood-prone areas, preventing water damage and potential financial losses. Furthermore, it can increase property value by adding usable square footage. Historically, this practice has been employed to preserve buildings threatened by environmental factors or to adapt structures to changing site conditions.
