Rustic Cottage Remodel on Big Cedar

This cottage was nothing but a liability, built on 18 feet of peat in a swamp and with a basement so low to the water table of Big Cedar lake that it flooded every Spring . An engineering challenge to say the least, KLC lifted the cottage up and moved it out of the way in order to pile drive a series of steel pillons and engineered beam system that accommodated a new foundation / engineered floor system, 4 feet elevated from the original level. The cottage was then relocated on the new foundation and renovated to create a finished basement and renovated main floor. The very serious structural foundation issues are now a thing of the past and our client can feel good that their investment is now worth every penny and a true asset no longer threatened by flooding and settling.
