What Many People Don’t Know About Lifting a House in Florida.

When people hear "house lifting," they often think of beachfront homes or extreme construction. But in flood-prone areas like Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, Deltona, and DeLand, lifting a home is becoming a smart, long-term solution.

Here are a few things many homeowners don’t realize:

1. You don’t need to live on the coast.

Flooding isn’t just a beach problem. Inland homes across Volusia and Flagler Counties deal with rising water, storm runoff, and drainage issues all the time.

2. You may not need to move out for long.

While every project is different, most house lifts are completed in a weeks not months.

3. It could lower your flood insurance.

When your home sits above base flood elevation (BFE), it’s considered a lower risk potentially saving you money on premiums over time. Please contact your insurance to discuss how lifting your home could affect your insurance.

4. Lifting helps beyond just storms.

Flooding from rain, groundwater, and aging infrastructure can cause damage year around. Elevating your home adds lasting protection.

5. Grant funding may be available.

If you’ve experienced repeated flood damage, you might qualify for grants or emergency funding to help cover the cost.
