How We Raise Buildings
Raising a building is a complex process that involves planning and execution. Here’s how we accomplish this task:
Initial Assessment: The process begins with a thorough inspection of the property. We assess the current foundation, soil conditions, and any potential obstacles.
Preparation: Once the assessment is complete, preparations begin. This includes disconnecting utilities such as electricity, water, and gas to ensure safety during the raising process.
Installation of Beams and Supports:These are strategically placed under the structure and are essential for supporting the weight of the building during the lift.
Hydraulic Jacking: A hydraulic jacking system is used to lift the building evenly. This system ensures that the structure is raised in a controlled manner, preventing any damage.
Foundation Work: With the building elevated, your foundation repair company can fix or install a new foundation.
Lowering and Finalization: Once the foundation work is complete, the building is carefully lowered back into place. The utilities are reconnected, and any necessary finishing touches are applied.
Cost Savings Over Building a New Home
One of the most compelling reasons to consider raising a home for foundation work is the significant cost savings compared to building a new home. Here are some factors to consider:
Preservation of Original Structure: By opting to raise and repair, we can preserve an existing home’s character and charm, a significant consideration in historic towns like Salem, MA, and Mystic, CT.
Lower Costs: The cost of raising and repairing a foundation is often much lower than the expenses associated with constructing a new home. Demolition, site preparation, and new construction costs can be substantially higher.
Time Efficiency: The timeline for raising and repairing a foundation is typically shorter than building a new home..
