Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is possible to replace a home's foundation without demolishing the structure. This is a complex but well-controlled process handled by specialists like Heneault Gosselin, involving temporary support of the house while the old foundation is removed and rebuilt.

Here’s how the process typically unfolds:

• Structural support: the house is lifted and secured with hydraulic jacks and steel beams.
• Complete excavation: around and beneath the house to remove the old foundation.
• Construction of new footings and foundation walls: built to meet modern building codes.
• Lowering the house: once the new foundation is ready, the structure is gently placed back in position.

This technique preserves the existing structure while giving it a safe, long-lasting base. To find out if this option suits your home, contact Heneault Gosselin.
