Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, house lifting is safe for foundations, walls, and floors, provided it’s performed by experienced professionals using proper equipment. The process uses controlled lifting techniques to evenly distribute weight and preserve the structural integrity.

Here’s how safety is ensured throughout the process:

• Synchronized hydraulic jacks: lift the house gradually and evenly, avoiding stress or twisting.
• Steel support beams: distribute loads across load-bearing walls and floors.
• Pre-lift structural prep: inspections and reinforcements are done if needed.
• Temporary stabilization: the house rests securely on cribbing during work.
• Engineer supervision: each lift is planned and monitored to remain within structural tolerances.

These precautions ensure the structure is protected throughout. To ensure your project is safely executed, contact Heneault Gosselin.
