Why House Lifting Works for East Auckland Properties

East Auckland’s housing stock tells the story of Auckland’s suburban expansion. Pakuranga and Highland Park saw thousands of homes built during the 1960s and 70s, with many still sitting on their original timber pile foundations that have settled over decades.

Our house lifting service in East Auckland addresses these foundation challenges without demolition. We regularly work on sites with:

  • Settled foundations in established suburbs, where timber piles have shifted over 50+ years, creating uneven floors.
  • Coastal properties around Half Moon Bay, Cockle Bay, and Eastern Beach, where owners want to raise floor levels or add space beneath an existing home.
  • Basement conversions, lifting homes to add an extra garage or storage space without building outward on established sections.
  • Clay and sandstone soil conditions, which are common in eastern suburbs like Howick, where ground movement over time affects older foundations.

Both our systems keep your home perfectly level during the lift, protecting walls, windows, and interiors. Our experts for house propping in Auckland can assess your property and recommend the best approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homes built during East Auckland’s 1960s-70s expansion are ideal—particularly those on timber pile foundations that have settled over the decades. Our house lifting service in East Auckland also suits homeowners wanting to add a basement level or create a garage space beneath their home.

Soil varies across the region. Older suburbs like Howick sit on clay and sandstone, while coastal areas have different ground conditions. Our team can assess your specific site before recommending the right support configuration and any groundwork requirements.

Working with house lifters in East Auckland typically requires a building consent from the Auckland Council, as it involves structural modifications to the property. Our team can guide you through the consent process, working closely with builders and engineers to ensure proper documentation is completed.

For underpinning old house foundations or basement additions, you’ll need separate council consents.

We’ve lifted homes across all of East Auckland. Whether you want to raise floor levels for better views, add protection against weather events, or just create more usable space, our steel beam systems can accommodate coastal site conditions.
