Transforming Your Home or Cottage with House Raising
House raising in Port Severn, Ontario, is a carefully planned process that begins with a structural engineer evaluating the feasibility of lifting your home. Once assessed, our team creates a detailed plan, followed by site preparation, including clearing the area and disconnecting vital utilities such as plumbing, electricity, and gas to prevent any disruption. The next step involves carefully detaching the house from its foundation, with steel beams installed for primary support.
We then use specialized jacks to raise the house gradually, ensuring that weight is evenly distributed for stability. Temporary cribbing stacks provide additional support at each stage of the lift. After reaching the desired height, we build a new foundation beneath the house before lowering and securing the structure onto its new base. Utilities are reconnected, and final touches are completed to restore the home’s full functionality. This process requires careful planning, skilled professionals, and a strong focus on safety, ensuring successful results in Port Severn and the broader Simcoe County area.
