The Process.

Home elevation Phase I — structural engineering, blueprint design, stairs and landings, and professional survey for flood-safe elevation height
Phase I: The Blueprint

Engineering & Design

All projects begin with an engineer designing a new foundation, stairs, and landings to all doors. A professional surveyor helps determine the proper height to elevate to avoid future flooding concerns.

Home elevation Phase II — unified jacking system lifting a house, structural lift from 4 to 24 feet with synchronized hydraulic jacks
Phase II: The Lift

Unified Jacking System

We utilize the most advanced Unified Jacking Systems — the latest in structural lifting technology. Multiple jacks work at a simultaneous rate to raise your foundation, each supporting the home's distributed weight to effortlessly elevate from 4 to 24 feet. Unlike common jacking systems used by competitors — which can cause unsightly cracks and costly foundation damage — our sophisticated system elevates your home without causing stress to the structure.

Home elevation Phase III — new foundation, piers, wood cribbing, load-bearing beams and columns, and completed lower level
Phase III: The Foundation

Foundation & Completion

We complete your elevation with a larger foundation, additional piers, and more wood cribbing to support your home. We focus on creating more livable space on the bottom level by utilizing more beams and strategically placing load-bearing columns.
