Precision House Lifting for Long-Term Stability
House jacking is a specialized process used to lift and stabilize buildings that have experienced settling, uneven foundation issues, or structural shifts. This technique involves raising the entire structure gradually to restore proper alignment and prevent further damage. Proper house jacking can extend the lifespan of a property and improve safety by addressing foundational problems effectively.
Heavy-duty jacks and hydraulic systems are used to evenly lift the structure during the house jacking process.
After lifting, foundation repairs and reinforcements are implemented to ensure long-term stability.
Finished projects showcase level, stable homes with restored structural integrity.
The process of house jacking typically involves several key steps. Initially, a thorough assessment of the building's condition and foundation is performed to determine the necessary lifting points and methods. Hydraulic jacks are then carefully placed beneath the structure, and the house is gradually lifted in small increments. Once at the desired height, underpinning or foundation repairs are conducted to secure the structure in its new position. The entire operation requires precision and expertise to prevent damage and ensure safety.
The duration of a house jacking project depends on the size and condition of the building, but a professional team can usually complete the process within one to several days. Proper planning and experience are essential to minimize risks and ensure effective results. Skilled technicians use specialized equipment and techniques to perform the task efficiently and accurately, reducing the likelihood of complications.
Hiring a professional for house jacking offers numerous advantages. Experts have the knowledge, experience, and equipment necessary to perform the job safely and effectively.
