Services
Home Elevation
We elevate homes above flood risk zones using engineered foundation systems. Our certified crews employ hydraulic jacking technology to safely raise structures while maintaining integrity. Projects qualify for flood insurance discounts and federal grants, protecting property values in high-risk coastal areas.
Foundation Repair
Our team addresses foundation failures caused by soil movement and flooding. Using slab repair and pier-beam techniques, we restore structural integrity with state-of-the-art equipment. Services include preventative maintenance and emergency shoring for Louisiana's unique soil conditions.
Structural Moving
We relocate entire buildings using hydraulic dollies and specialized transport systems. Capable of moving structures weighing thousands of tons, our team preserves historic buildings and facilitates commercial redevelopment projects across diverse terrain conditions.
Helical Pile Installation
Certified crews install helical piles for deep foundation support. This method provides seismic and flood resistance for new construction or existing structures. Systems include tension anchors and boardwalk foundations for challenging environments.
Grant Program Assistance
Our specialists navigate federal and state grant programs for elevation projects. We process applications for FEMA's SRL program and other initiatives, helping homeowners access financial resources to meet floodplain management requirements.
