What is House Elevation?

House elevation is the process of lifting a full residential or commercial structure above its current ground or foundation level. This critical service is especially important in areas at high risk of flooding, for homes and businesses with settling foundations, or when meeting updated zoning or building codes. Our advanced hydraulic jacking system ensures the entire structure—be it a home or commercial building—is safely elevated. We take extra care in repairing, reinforcing, or repositioning the foundation and all other affected structural elements.

Several factors make some Dallas–Fort Worth residential and commercial properties more likely to require elevation. Soil erosion, uneven ground, evolving climate patterns, and changes in flood zones are just a few of the signs that a home or business may benefit from timely elevation. By addressing issues early, you can avoid future damage, preserve the value of your residential or commercial property, protect your family or staff, and remain up to code with all relevant regulations.

5-Step Process

Our Elevation Process for Homes and Businesses:

When Should You Consider House Elevation?

Flooding or Rain Damage

If your residential or commercial property is in a flood zone or low-lying area, you may encounter regular water-related problems during storms. Both homes and businesses located near bodies of water or in known flood risk areas are susceptible to expensive, potentially devastating damage.

Sinkholes or Foundation Sinking

Foundations for homes and commercial properties can sink, shift, or degrade due to various factors. This can create unsafe, unstable conditions, making elevation essential to restore structural security.

Safety or Building Code Updates

Older residential and commercial buildings often fail to meet upgraded codes and regulations, which can negatively impact safety, value, and function. Elevating your home or business helps address these challenges.

Severe Soil Erosion

If your Dallas-Fort Worth property—whether residential or commercial—is showing signs of soil erosion, elevation may be required for ongoing safety.

Zoning or Floodplain Regulation Changes

Property owners may be required to elevate their home or business to comply with new regulations. Acting promptly ensures your residential and commercial investments always meet legal standards.

Future Flood or Damage Prevention

Proactive homeowners and business leaders may seek elevation services to safeguard their properties against future events. This is especially important in Dallas–Fort Worth areas prone to flooding or unstable soils.
