For over 40 years Wolfe House Movers has been lifting hundreds of homes and is an expert in flood-related house lifting and moving. You will not find a more qualified or experienced company to lift your wood frame, brick, or masonry home. By elevating your living space above the 100-year floodplain, you will no longer need to worry every time a major storm is forecast. An added benefit is that you could save thousands over the years on your flood insurance. FLOOD LIFTING EXPERTS After a major flood, this homeowner decided that the best way to prevent damage from future flooding events was to have the house lifted. The fireplace and front porch were lifted with the house. Steel beams were inserted through the foundation, then it was lifted with a Unified Jacking System. It was supported on solid oak "crib piles" while a new foundation was built up and fitted to the house. The end result is an even better house where all living space and utilities are elevated above the 100-year floodplain. The ground level is now a garage for parking and storage. Flood vents have been installed so that flood waters can flow through without damaging foundation walls. After a flood it can be easily cleaned.
