You have questions. wE have answers.
Have questions about helical piles, house lifting, or structural inspections? Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our services, process, and what to expect when working with Innovative Construction.
Ocean City building codes often specify V-Zone (Velocity Zone) requirements for beachfront properties. We provide heavy-duty piling solutions that meet these stringent standards for wave action and soil erosion protection.
The height is typically determined by your local zoning laws and the required flood elevation. Most Ocean City projects involve lifting the structure between 8 and 12 feet to create a functional lower-level parking area or storage space while meeting BFE standards.
While the lift itself increases the value of your home, the primary financial benefit is the dramatic reduction in flood insurance premiums. We recommend consulting with the Ocean City Tax Assessor to understand how specific structural improvements affect your local assessment.
