Yes, foundation replacement is safe for the existing structure when carried out by qualified professionals using strict protocols. Proven methods are used to lift, stabilize, and protect the home throughout the project.
Here’s how structural safety is maintained:
- Controlled lifting: the house is gradually elevated using hydraulic jacks and steel beams.
- Continuous support: the structure rests securely on temporary supports or piles during the work.
- Ongoing monitoring: levels, loads, and stability are constantly checked during each phase.
- Precise engineering plans: each step is overseen or approved by a structural engineer when required.
This ensures the home remains secure, with no sagging or distortion. For expert-managed and safe execution, contact Heneault Gosselin.
