The first 48 hours after a storm are chaos. Take a breath, then start simple: shoot photos. Wide shots of every room. Close-ups of water lines, swollen trim, buckled floors. Outside, get the foundation, washed-out soil, steps, and utilities. Save receipts for pumps, tarps, and cleanup. That folder becomes your map—for the claim and for us if House Lifting in CT is part of the fix.
Next comes the adjuster. Walk the property in a loop: outside first, then inside. Point to the high-water mark and how long the water sat. If this isn’t your first flood, say so. Ask straight up about ICC (Increased Cost of Compliance). If you qualify, ICC can help with elevation. We’ll share a clear estimate and sequence so the adjuster sees where house lifting in CT fits into the repair plan.
Repairs need order. Think: stabilize → lift → build → finish. We handle shutoffs, then set steel under the load paths and lift in tiny, even steps. With the house resting on cribbing, we build the new foundation at the right height—footings, waterproofing, flood vents, and drainage laid in correctly. That’s Structural Lifting in CT done clean: slow, level, and by the book.
Don’t fix things twice. Drywall, floors, stairs, and trim all wait until after set-down. What happens before the lift? Demo of soaked materials, dehumidifiers, mold treatment, and protecting what stays. We line up town inspections and keep your adjuster in the loop so payments and milestones match the work on the ground.
When it’s all mapped out, the week stops feeling endless. You’ve got photos, a claim that makes sense, and a path to a safer elevation. If you want help sorting next steps, contact us, we’ll meet you on site, talk in plain language, and lay out a timeline that fits your budget and your rebuild—so the home you love comes back higher, drier, and ready for the next storm.
