At High Caliber Contracting, we get a lot of questions about when a structure should be lifted or even moved. If you’re seeing big cracks, water in the basement, or your doors won’t shut right, you might be headed for trouble. That’s where house lifting and building lifting come in. Raising or relocating a structure can fix problems and keep you safe for years to come.
Cracks and Sticking Doors – One of the first signs is cracks running up walls or across ceilings. Floors that slope and doors that stick can mean the foundation is shifting. Instead of patching cracks over and over, lifting the home lets us repair or replace the base properly. That’s the kind of house lifting CT job we handle every week.
Flooding or High Water Tables – If your basement floods after every heavy rain or you live near the coast, lifting may be the best protection. A raised home sits above trouble spots, keeps everything dry, and often lowers flood-insurance costs. We’ve helped countless shoreline owners with building lifting CT so storms don’t keep them awake at night.
Foundation Settling or Sinkholes – Uneven settling, soft soil, or even small sinkholes can make a home unsafe. By carefully lifting the house, we can shore up or replace the foundation and reset the structure on solid ground. It’s a smart move that saves the home you already love instead of tearing it down.
Property Changes and Code Updates – Sometimes the land around you changes. Maybe a new road, new setbacks, or stricter flood codes mean your house sits in the wrong spot or too low. Moving a building a few feet—or across a lot—can solve those headaches fast. We handle complete building moves right here in Connecticut, keeping your structure intact and up to code.
If you spot any of these warning signs, give us a call. With over 30 years of experience in house lifting CT and building lifting CT, High Caliber Contracting knows how to raise or relocate your structure safely and smoothly. We’ll look at your building, explain your options in plain language, and give you the lift—or move—you need to keep your property strong.
