What is House Raising?
House raising, also known as house lifting or building elevation, is a process that involves separating your house from its foundations and physically lifting the entire house or building above its current foundation level.
Why raise your house?
House raising is employed for various reasons, such as mitigating flood risks, expanding living space, repairing or reinforcing the foundation, or even relocating to a different location.
Many houses in Australia have a space underneath that isn’t legal height and ends up turning into a dusty storage area or makeshift outdoor laundry. By raising your house you can build in a new level under your house with living areas or extra space as a garage.
Raising a house is the perfect way to get the most out of your existing house and the available space on your property without building a whole new house.
There have been numerous flooding incidents in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria in recent years. This has prompted many people to avoid future damage from natural disasters by raising their house onto higher stumps.
House raising and restumping
If you’re planning on raising your house for renovation purposes, it will need to be restumped so it sits safely and securely at its new height.
