Foundation raising that starts with what's under the house
Foundation raising in Arcadia means lifting your house with hydraulic jacks set under its beams, a little at a time, and resting it on cribbing, the stacked timber that holds it between lifts. At R&C Arcadia Concrete Contractors, the call usually starts with floors that slope or a side that's settled.
Before anything gets lifted, we want the house looked over and any rotten framing fixed, because jacks under a bad sill just find the weak spot faster. Then it goes up slowly and evenly, since a crooked lift cracks plaster. The price moves with the size of the house, wood or masonry walls and how much repair comes first, and so does the schedule. I'll give you your number on site.
Which kind of lift fits your house
Get a quoteWood-framed house
Wood-framed houses take a lift well, so this suits most raised-floor homes with a settled side or a foundation that sits too low.
Brick or stone house
A brick or stone house can be lifted with more support points, a careful load plan and often bracing inside, because masonry cracks when it moves unevenly.
Framing repair first
When sills are rotted or framing is failing, it gets reinforced first, and one jack maker advises an engineer's review before the plan is final.
Lift plus nearby concrete
If a slab blocks the jacks, we open it with concrete cutting, and when the driveway sits low afterward, we pour a new driveway.
