At High Caliber Contracting, we’ve worked on homes all across Connecticut, and one thing we see more often every year is flooding. Whether it’s a big storm or just a high tide, water can cause major damage fast. If your home sits low or near the water, you might be at risk. That’s where house lifting comes in — and it could be the smartest move you ever make for your property.
House lifting in CT is all about getting your home up and out of harm’s way. We lift the entire structure using strong steel beams and hydraulic jacks, then build a new foundation underneath that’s higher and safer. Once that’s done, we lower the house back down onto its new base. It’s a proven way to protect your home from future floods and storm damage.
More towns in Connecticut are updating their flood codes, especially along the shoreline. That means many homes need to be raised to stay up to code — and to avoid sky-high flood insurance. If your house isn’t high enough, building lifting in CT can help bring it up to the right height, protect your investment, and keep your family safe.
We’ve lifted all kinds of homes, from small cottages to large houses with porches, fireplaces, and additions. Every job is different, but our goal is always the same — raise the building safely, protect it during the process, and make sure it sits strong on its new foundation. We take pride in doing the job right.
Besides staying dry, house lifting can even improve your home. Some homeowners turn the new space underneath into storage or even a full basement. Others enjoy the peace of mind knowing their home is ready for whatever weather comes next. Either way, lifting your home is a smart long-term move.
If you’re worried about flooding, don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact High Caliber Contracting to learn more about our house lifting services in CT.
