We recently finished a house lifting project in Westport, CT, where the goal was simple: raise the home and add a brand-new basement underneath. The twist? There was snow on the ground the whole time. Even with winter weather, we kept the plan moving—no shortcuts, no damage, and zero issues at set-down.
Winter work just means extra prep. We laid ground mats to protect the yard, kept walkways safe, and used heated blankets and de-icing where needed. Our crew slid in heavy steel beams, tied in the unified jacks, and lifted the house in small, even steps. That steady pace is how house lifting in CT stays clean—doors line up, walls stay straight, and the structure rises level.
With the home resting on cribbing, we built the new foundation: proper drainage, waterproofing, and anchor bolts set to code. We added flood vents and planned for egress so the lower level is dry, safe, and ready to finish. That’s what structural lifting in CT can do—protect the house and create real, useful space without changing the footprint.
When the concrete cured, we lowered the home back down a little at a time and checked levels at every corner. Snow never slowed us. The result is a stronger Westport home with a brand-new basement and a clean finish from top to bottom. If you’re thinking about a lift—winter or not—we’ll walk the site, explain the steps in plain language, and build a plan that works.
