Cottage Lift on Lake Koshkonong, Edgerton, WI (Apr/May 2019)

Before & after of a lift to avoid flooding & 100 year floodplain level.

It has been a rough few years in Wisconsin in regards to flooding. Heavy mixes of snow and rain beyond typical averages have and continue to severely impact homes, businesses, cities, and towns across the state. A past client contacted Badger Contracting about needing their cottage on the lake lifted to avoid more flooding and above the 100 year floodplain. 

Left: As you can see in the picture, the cottage was submerged about almost a foot deep in water (see red line).

Below: Badger Contracting in as little as a day, lifted the cottage well over the 100 year floodplain level. See the side-by-side comparison below. The orange flag marked in the tree marks the level that the house needed to be above.
