Home Elevation Decision Tool app for iPhone and iPad

This simple tool will allow users to find out if the desired elevation pattern is safe, minimizing the potential for future slab failure with property damage and casualties. It can be used with minimal technical knowhow and training. With a few inputs on pier, beam, and slab details, the tool will inform on whether the arrangement is safe to carry the floor loads.

Home elevation is a wet flood mitigation
method in which the house is lifted above the
base flood elevation and supported by new
piers and beams. It is ideally suited for
concrete slab on grade foundations with
perimeter grade beams. Other wet flood
mitigation methods include demolition and
relocation.
