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.
