our services

House Lifting and Moving

Heavy lifting is one of our specialties - from small objects, like rocks and sculpture, to houses and larger buildings. Our team has knowledge of leveling, water (flow) retention and diversion, plumbing/sewer connection, electrical line containment, and earth movement. Some of the most common reasons people lift their homes are flooding issues, to increase basement height, adding another story or to repair a damaged foundation.

Underpinning

Underpinning is a method used to increase foundation depth or repair faulty foundations. This might be the case if you plan to add stories to an existing structure or when the foundation has been damaged.

pin piles

Pin Piles have many uses. In Seattle, piles are becoming a regular part of foundation installation for new construction - especially on our steep slopes. Pin piles are also a standard tool in structural repair. They are used to shore weakened walls, to underpin foundations, to stop settling, and to raise a foundation back into its original position.
