House raising & home elevation in Lavallette, NJ

Elevation is the permanent fix for a Lavallette flood-zone home.

Lavallette is a barrier-island borough on the Barnegat Peninsula, tucked between Ortley Beach to the south and the Ocean Beach communities, with the Atlantic to the east and Barnegat Bay to the west. Like the rest of the peninsula it took heavy flooding in Superstorm Sandy, and the borough sits almost entirely in FEMA AE and VE flood zones. Raising the home above the base flood elevation is the permanent fix for a lot this close to the water.

We handle the whole elevation in Lavallette end to end: the assessment, the engineered plan, the unified hydraulic lift, the new code-height foundation, and the reconnection — one crew from the first measurement to the final elevation certificate.
