Services
Structural Moving
We specialize in relocating entire structures, including homes, barns, and garages. Our process involves careful planning, steel beam support, and coordination with local authorities for permits. Each move is tailored to address unique challenges like road obstacles and structural integrity.
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair service lifts homes using steel beams to replace unstable foundations. We address moisture damage and soil issues while preserving structural integrity. Options include poured walls and energy-efficient ICF systems for long-term stability.
Septic Installation
We install conventional and Waterloo Biofilter septic systems tailored to soil conditions. Services include Infiltrator Chambers for smaller beds and above-ground cedar sheds for tertiary treatment. Proper sizing ensures efficient wastewater management for residential properties.
Permit Coordination
We manage the permit acquisition process for structural moves, including utility notifications and road deposits. Our team coordinates with local municipalities to handle paperwork and compliance requirements across Southwestern Ontario.
Steel Beam Support
Our steel beam support system stabilizes buildings during relocation or foundation work. This method prevents damage to interiors and ensures even weight distribution, particularly for complex structures with additions or uneven foundations.
Questions
What areas do you serve for structural moving?
We operate throughout Southwestern Ontario, including Sarnia-Lambton, Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent, and surrounding regions.
How long does a house move typically take?
Most moves require 6 weeks for permits, with the physical relocation completed in 1-2 days depending on distance and complexity.
Can brick homes be moved safely?
While possible, moving brick homes is generally not cost-effective due to increased structural reinforcement requirements.
What septic system options do you offer?
We install conventional systems with weeping beds and Waterloo Biofilter tertiary treatment units for space-constrained properties.
How are move costs determined?
Costs depend on distance, structure size, railway crossings, and required permits. We provide project-specific estimates after site assessment.
