House Lifters FAQs

Raising a house usually only takes two to seven days. However, most house-raising projects take four to eight weeks, including preparation, lifting, moving or repairs, and follow-up landscaping.

Raising a house creates pressure on the structure, so there’s a minor risk of damage. However, the risk of damage increases if the home has preexisting structural damage or is built very low to the ground. The right contractor can minimize these risks, so in most cases, the house only experiences very minor or no damage.

The type of structural support your home requires depends on why you raised it. If you’re raising your home because the foundation needs to be repaired, consult a structural engineer to identify the causes of the damage. In many cases, shifting soil can damage a home’s foundation, so it’s important to add the appropriate support to prevent recurring problems.
