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
Ventnor City requires homes to be elevated to at least one foot above the current Base Flood Elevation (BFE) as determined by FEMA flood maps. We work closely with Ventnor building officials to ensure your home elevation meets these specific local safety margins.
The physical act of raising the structure often takes only a day or two using our unified hydraulic jacking system. However, the entire project, including the disconnection of utilities, the construction of a new foundation or pilings, and the final reconnection of services, generally spans several weeks.
Ventnor’s proximity to the water means a high water table is common. We utilize helical piles specifically because they can be installed efficiently in wet soil conditions without the need for extensive dewatering or excavation.
