Absolutely amazing company!!! They are honest, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Independence Foundation Repair Pros!

I had them come out to repair my parent's foundation. They got it done in a couple of days, and did great work. They were very professional and responded quickly to all their questions and concerns. They also have the option to get concrete work done, so they got their entrance sidewalk leveled out as well. They are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Everyone was friendly and professional from start to end. My hige cracks on outside wall were gone when they are finished. It was great experience. I would recommend Independence Foundation Repair Pros.

From start to finish the repair process was painless. The cleanup afterward was truly remarkable. Independence Foundation Repair Pros is diamond in the rough.

How House Raising / Lifting Works

House raising involves lifting the structure above its existing foundation using hydraulic jacks and support beams. This process is typically performed when:

A home needs flood protection due to high-risk flood zones.
The foundation is failing, requiring a new foundation replacement.
The homeowner wants to expand their home by adding a basement or crawl space.

Common Reasons for House Raising

Flood Risk Mitigation – Lifting homes to meet FEMA floodplain regulations prevents water damage.
Foundation Repair or Replacement – A new, stronger foundation can be installed after lifting.
Additional Space – Creating room for a basement or crawl space beneath the house.
Improving Structural Integrity – Reinforces homes that are sinking, tilting, or shifting.

Signs You Need House Raising / Lifting

Frequent flooding or water damage in basements or crawl spaces.
Visible foundation sinking or shifting.
Uneven floors or noticeable tilting of the home.
Desire to add extra space beneath the house.

If your home is experiencing foundation failure or flood risks, house raising may be the best solution.
