Frequently Asked Questions

House lifting relies on advanced hydraulic lifting technologies combined with temporary shoring systems designed to distribute structural loads evenly. The goal is to elevate the structure safely without causing warping, cracking, or structural damage.

Heneault Gosselin uses a unique technique in Québec: a unified jacking system that synchronizes all hydraulic jacks in real time, ensuring perfectly balanced lifting across the entire structure.

• Synchronized hydraulic jacks: strategically positioned under the structure and operated simultaneously to avoid twists and sudden movements.
• Steel support beams: inserted under the building to distribute the weight across load-bearing walls and floors.
• Temporary cribbing and structures: used to stabilize the house once it’s lifted, allowing safe access underneath.
• Real-time monitoring systems: including laser levels and pressure sensors to maintain millimeter-level precision during elevation.

This technology allows for precise and safe house lifting operations. To learn how this system could benefit your property, contact Heneault Gosselin.
