    • Will there be any damage done when lifting?

      We carefully lift the house and constantly monitor the reaction of the home to the lift. However we advise that new damage is always possible but not for certain. Many factors come in to play. We do not know if existing damages have been hidden, framing has been changed, how the house was constructed originally etc. Also every house reacts and displays damage differently on the exterior and interior. Framing can become bowed or warped and not allow everything to push back perfectly in place. Our goal is to get the foundation as level as possible without causing unnecessary damages.
