Elevating a home on pilings is the proven way to protect it from storm surge, flooding, and land erosion along the Texas Gulf Coast. Jordan Marine Construction installs house piling foundations for coastal and flood-prone homes, including projects at Surfside Beach and across the greater Houston area.
Using precision pile driving and marine-grade materials, we elevate and stabilize homes so they stand up to challenging coastal and flood conditions for the long term.

- 1
Site & Flood Assessment
We review soil conditions, flood elevation requirements, and the home's footprint to design the piling layout.
- 2
Engineered Pile Plan
We specify pile size, embedment, and spacing to meet the required elevation and load.
- 3
Pile Driving
We drive marine-grade pilings to refusal for a foundation that resists storm surge and erosion.
- 4
Cap & Connection
We cap and connect the pilings to the structure per the engineered design.
Materials & Treatment Specifications
House pilings are marine-grade timber treated for coastal exposure (2.5 CCA saltwater), driven to engineered embedment. Connections use hot-dip galvanized hardware rated for the marine environment and storm loads.

House Pilings FAQs
Can you elevate an existing home on pilings?
In many coastal scenarios yes, working with the appropriate engineering and elevation contractors. We assess the structure and site first.
Do house pilings help with flood insurance?
Properly elevating a home above the base flood elevation on engineered pilings can improve flood resilience and may affect insurance — confirm specifics with your provider and local floodplain office.
