House Moving, Raising & Lifting Prevents Storm Damage
If you are a Fire Island homeowner, you are acutely aware of the dangerous high tides tropical storms can cause. If your home's foundation is low enough where water can collect and damage your property, house moving is your best option to solve this issue. House moving, also known as ‘house raising’ or ‘house lifting’ requires specialized tools and lifts utilized by a highly trained and experienced crew to raise your house and its foundation from the ground up. In addition to solving severe flooding concerns, house raising may also help decrease your insurance costs while protecting your family and valuable possessions.
The Differences Between House Moving, Raising & Lifting
House moving, house raising and house lifting are all related but they are not the same thing. Each one refers to a different type of structural service. Let's take a closer look at these areas.
House Moving
- Moving a house involves relocating an entire structure from one property to another.
- The house is lifted, placed on specialized equipment, and transported to a new location.
- House moving is used when preserving a building but changing its site.
House Raising
- Raising the house refers to elevating a home to a higher height on the same property.
- This raising is common for flood protection, adding a new foundation, or creating additional space (like a basement).
- When house raising comes into play, the structure stays in place horizontally—only the height changes.
House Lifting
- House lifting is a broader term that usually describes temporarily lifting a structure off its foundation.
- Lifting a house is done for repairs (foundation work, leveling, replacing beams).
- It may or may not involve raising the final height permanently.
Here is a quick way to think about it:
- Moving = new location
- Raising = higher position (permanent)
- Lifting = temporary elevation for work
