Services
House Lifting
Our house lifting service raises structures to meet FEMA flood elevation standards, reduce insurance costs, or enable basement renovations. With over 300 completed projects, we employ certified flood plain managers and specialized equipment to safely elevate homes while maintaining structural integrity. Our process includes design consultation, permit acquisition, and precise execution using hydraulic jacking systems.
Helical Piles
Helical pile installation provides durable foundation support in challenging soil conditions. Our high-strength steel screw piles offer rapid installation without curing time, making them ideal for both residential and commercial projects. This method causes minimal site disruption while providing exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-term corrosion resistance for structures across the Northeast.
House Moving
We specialize in relocating entire buildings to preserve historic structures or repurpose sound buildings instead of demolition. Our equipment handles masonry, wood frame, and commercial structures, offering cost-effective solutions 30-50% cheaper than new construction. This service includes site preparation, transportation, and reinstallation with full foundation support.
Structural Repair
Our structural repair service addresses foundation cracks, uneven floors, and water damage using proven underpinning and shoring techniques. We diagnose root causes and implement durable solutions with minimal disruption to property. Services include beam replacement, load-bearing wall modifications, and comprehensive foundation leveling for both residential and commercial properties.
Support of Excavation
We design and install temporary earth-retaining systems to ensure safe excavation for foundations, basements, and utility installations. Our SOE specialists use sheet piling and bracing systems to prevent cave-ins, protect adjacent structures, and maintain worksite safety. This service complies with all OSHA standards and includes 24/7 monitoring for critical projects.

I did not use this company but was a neighboring property of a home removal and transport in Ocean City. I was only present on the day of removal so I can only speak to what I witnessed on that day, but I was very impressed with Mark, the project foreman, with his efficiency and coordination of his team of workers throughout that day. He was professional and respected each member, clearly assigning job responsibilities and expectations to make the project run smoothly. The team members were friendly, polite, and worked hard from start to finish with care taken to protect my property. Mark assured

SJ Hauck came highly recommended to remove instead of demo our house. After one call, Steve showed up the next day, explained our options, including how we could save $10,000. We shook hands and when we were ready to go, the team did there thing and in less than a week we had an empty lot. Great communication every step of the way, I will 100% recommend them to anyone looking to demo or move a house. Keeping the house out of a landfill was a huge plus too!

We would highly recommend S. J. Hauck, for your building lift and set. They will get the job done! We hired S. J. Hauck to lift and set 2 buildings: our home and a 3 bay garage. They handled all aspects of the lift and set: placing and pulling out the I-beams and cribbing, safely lifting and setting both structures. It was not easy work and the team was professional in handling all the activities.
They all knew what they were doing, they were very knowledgeable about all the phases of the project. They minimized any impacts on us as well. The staff behind the scene were a pleasure to work with
