Climate Change and Moving Coastal Properties

In our service area of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island many homes are waterfront homes thanks to the many miles of coastline we have. These homeowners often live in a flood plain area and raising their homes can provide added flood protection. 

We hear so much on the news about climate change and its effects on our shoreline. If you own a home near the water or in a flood plain, lifting the home or updating your drainage system can help protect against potential flood damage and meet FEMA standards. 

Climate change is causing sea levels to rise, which is a major concern for coastal property owners. As the sea level rises, the risk of flooding and erosion increases, which can result in significant damage to homes and other structures located near the coast. In some cases, homeowners may choose to move their properties further inland to avoid these risks.Eastman Building Movers can help if this is what you decide.

Moving a coastal property can be a complex process that involves a number of different factors,but we have the experience and knowledge to make it easier.. First, homeowners must find a new location that is suitable for their needs and meets all local zoning and building requirements. They may also need to obtain permits and approvals from local authorities before they can begin the move.

Once a suitable location has been identified, the property must be prepared for transport. This may involve disassembling the structure and removing any obstacles that could interfere with the move. The property will then be loaded onto a specialized trailer and transported to its new location.

Once the building has been moved, it must be reassembled and connected to all necessary utilities. This can be a time-consuming process that requires the assistance of skilled professionals.

Overall, moving a coastal property can be a challenging but necessary step for homeowners who want to protect their investments and avoid the risks associated with rising sea levels.
