[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I raised a small house after Hurricane Isabel in 2003. It was a single story mini-rancher style house, on a 25x35 crawl space. Was pretty straightforward. Hired a house moving company from Calvert County and they came out, put a lifting framework under the floor joists, and just jacked it up with hydraulic jacks about 6 feet. Then they built the foundation walls up to the new height, and sat it down on the new foundation. Took about 3 days total. Paid about $9,000 (in 2004). [/quote] Forgot to add, the whole point of raising the house was to make sure it didn’t get flooded again in another hurricane. That was 20 years ago, and the water has never gotten that high since then. So in hindsight it was sort of a waste. [/quote]
