Raising
Our specialty lies in raising existing cottages and installing Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) foundations underneath. This innovative approach can effectively double the square footage of your cottage and often includes a walkout lower level.
There's a wide range of reasons for having to lift a structure:
Adding a basement
Engineered pier replacement
New foundations
Replacing/repairing foundations
Replacing/repairing piers
Replacing/repairing basement walls in either ICF or block
New upgraded structural beams for a main floor expansion or 2nd and even 3rd story additions. Replacing wooden beams from age, rot, undersized, poor quality, water damage, or shifting.
Lifting a home or cottage off of its foundations because of:
Stabilize the sinking structure.
Erosion
Water damage
Age/rot
Sagging floor beams
Re-squaring twisted structures and exterior or load-bearing walls.
