House raising services refer to professional services provided for the purpose of raising the elevation of a house. This process involves lifting the entire structure off its existing foundation to create additional space or protect it from potential risks such as flooding.
House raising services require a team of experienced professionals who specialize in structural engineering and house elevation techniques. The process begins with a thorough assessment of the house's current foundation, structure, and surrounding environment. This assessment helps determine the feasibility and appropriate methods for raising the house.
During the house raising process, hydraulic jacks, steel beams, or other lifting equipment are used to gradually elevate the house. Temporary supports are installed to ensure stability and safety throughout the lifting process. The elevation is carefully controlled to minimize any potential damage to the house.
Once the house is raised, adjustments can be made to the foundation, if necessary, or additional space can be created beneath the elevated structure. This may involve constructing a new foundation or reinforcing the existing one to support the raised house. It provides opportunities for homeowners to add a basement, parking area, or additional living space.
