House raising & home elevation in Toms River, NJ

From the mainland riverfront to the Ortley Beach barrier strip, Toms River wraps a long stretch of Barnegat Bay — and a lot of homes that took on water in past storms.

Why Toms River homes get raised

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

Toms River wraps a long stretch of Barnegat Bay, from mainland riverfront neighborhoods along the Toms River itself out to the Ortley Beach barrier section. Superstorm Sandy pushed the bay into thousands of homes here, and much of the low-lying and bayfront property sits in FEMA AE and VE flood zones. Elevation lifts the living space above the surge instead of repairing it storm after storm.

We handle the whole elevation in Toms River 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.

House raising in Toms River: common questions

Do you raise houses in Toms River?
Yes. House raising and home elevation in Toms River is core to what we do — Toms River is in Ocean County, squarely inside our Ocean and Monmouth County service area. We start with an on-site assessment of your foundation, flood zone, size, and access, then lay out your options with a plan and price up front.
How do I find out my flood zone and required height?
Your flood zone and Base Flood Elevation come from FEMA's flood maps, and your township sets how far above the BFE your lowest floor must sit. We check both for your exact address at the assessment. Our guide to BFE, freeboard & flood maps walks through where those numbers come from.
Do you handle the permits with the town?
Yes. We build from sealed engineered elevation drawings and coordinate the township construction permit and the survey and elevation-certificate work the lift requires. See the rules & permits guide for the full picture.
