Aside from reducing your risk from flood, there are other reasons why you should consider elevated homes in building your own home. Because of climate change, flooding is a potential risk for many homeowners nowadays.
As mentioned above, flooding is common especially in places where heavy rainfall occurs regularly. With this, a raised floor may be the most practical and cost-effective way to protect your family and property against the flood.
Your elevated house will give you better scenic views of your surroundings (especially if you have a good one). Elevated houses offer views that single-story houses cannot give. Could it be lakefront, beaches, or hillside?
Installation, maintenance, and modification of utilities such as water, sewer, and electrical lines are simplified with a raised floor. Remodeling? Plumbing fixture modifications are easy.
Increase elevation provides a natural mechanism that improved the ventilation in your home. This helps regulate temperatures inside the house that gives a warmer and comforting feeling.
