"Every person I dealt with at this company was polite and professional. Basement leaking is stressful and BWN was responsive, prompt and easy to work with. The work looks sloppy in some places, however, and my basement was left a bit of a mess. I have a radiator in the basement along the wall we were having waterproofed. The person who did our estimate saw that radiator, however when the team arrived to do the work they seemed surprised to see it and there was no plan on how to deal with it. They managed a solution, but the area looks messy and there are places where there is no concrete present at all anymore. I am going with an A overall rating for now because I do think overall it was a positive experience. Waiting to see how it goes when we get some rain."

FAQs for concrete foundation raise projects in Chester, PA

On average, it takes two to seven days to physically raise your house. However, this does not include the preparation work, which is often the most lengthy process. The entire project, including preparation, obtaining permits, disconnecting utilities, and any subsequent landscaping, can take four to eight weeks. This timeline ensures everything is done safely and that your home remains structurally sound.

If proper safety protocols are not followed, raising a house can cause severe damage, as the process involves applying controlled force to the home's structure. The risks involved make it crucial to hire a skilled contractor who uses engineered methods to secure your home and prevent any harm to your household.

If your foundation shows signs of instability after raising your home, you might need to add structural support. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and recommend reinforcements to ensure your house stays stable and safe for the long term. Available support options include installing additional piers or pilings, reinforcing existing footings, or using steel beams to distribute the load more evenly.

You will need a structural engineer to assess your home before you begin. These professionals determine whether your house is suitable for lifting and identify any issues that could compromise its stability. Their expertise ensures that the project is designed correctly and all risks are managed to achieve a successful lift.
