In most cases, it is possible to live in the house during stabilization work. Piling operations are usually performed outside the structure, allowing residents to stay home with minimal disruption. However, several factors need to be considered to ensure this is feasible.
Key considerations include:
- Scope of the work: minor and well-coordinated projects typically allow continued occupancy.
- Noise and vibration levels: certain phases, especially pile installation, may be noisy.
- Site access: temporary limitations on driveways or walkways may occur.
- Safety: contractors will take all necessary precautions to protect occupants.
- Condition of the home: in rare cases of severe foundation damage, temporary relocation may be advised.
