House Lifting Explained

House lifting is a process of raising a house off its foundation to address issues like foundation repair, flooding risks, or structural modifications. At James Bond Complete Foundation Repair, we use our 25 years of experience to guide homeowners in Dallas, Garland, and Plano through this complex but effective solution.

What Is House Lifting?

House lifting involves using hydraulic jacks to elevate a house from its foundation. This method is commonly used to:

• Repair or replace damaged foundations
• Protect homes from flood risks by raising them above potential water levels
• Add additional living or storage space beneath the house

It’s a precise and carefully planned process that requires professional expertise to complete safely and effectively.

Why Might You Need House Lifting?

There are several reasons house lifting may be necessary:

• Foundation Repair – If your home’s foundation is cracked, sinking, or unstable, house lifting allows repairs or the construction of a new foundation.
• Flood Protection – In areas prone to flooding, lifting the house can help avoid future water damage.
• Expanding Space – Raising the home creates opportunities to add a basement or additional floors without altering the home’s footprint.

Each situation is unique, and our team of foundation specialists evaluates every project to determine the best solution.

The House Lifting Process

The process involves several key steps:

1. Preparation – Engineers and specialists inspect the home and plan the lifting strategy.
2. Structural Support – Steel beams are placed under the house to distribute weight evenly.
3. Lifting – Hydraulic jacks carefully raise the house to the desired height.
4. Foundation Work – The old foundation is repaired, replaced, or reinforced.
5. Lowering and Finishing – The house is lowered onto the new foundation, and final adjustments are made.

The entire process is designed to minimize disruption while providing a long-lasting solution.

Benefits of House Lifting

House lifting is an investment in the safety, functionality, and value of your home. Some key benefits include the following:

• Restoration of  Stability – This is accomplished by addressing serious foundation issues before they cause further structural damage.
