Yes, it is often possible to live in a house during foundation repairs, but this depends heavily on the scope of the work and the specific repair method being used. For minor slab jacking or pier installations performed from the exterior, homeowners can typically remain inside with minimal disruption. However, for major structural work involving interior excavation, beam replacement, or house leveling, the noise, dust, and vibration can make living conditions unsafe and uncomfortable. Your contractor should provide a clear safety assessment before work begins.

Lifting a house for foundation repair is a complex process typically performed using hydraulic jacks. The structure is first prepared by disconnecting utilities and removing obstructions. Steel beams are then inserted through the foundation walls or beneath the floor joists to create a support grid. Hydraulic jacks are placed at strategic points to slowly and evenly raise the house to the desired height. This process must be done incrementally to avoid damaging the structure. Once lifted, the foundation is repaired or replaced, and the house is carefully lowered back into place. For a comprehensive guide on this and other techniques, we recommend reading Choosing The Best Foundation Repair Method For Your Home.
