Fortunately, I read an article in The Hindu about how houses could be lifted to prevent them from getting inundated.” Babu zeroed in on a house-lifting service provider. “Without a single crack, the entire house was lifted by four feet. “After the floods in 2015, residents have been warming up to the idea of having their houses lifted. There have been many inquiries from Velachery and Madipakkam,” says Thanigaimalai of Ambattur-based Champion Building Lifting Services, which is in the business of lifting houses. In one of the usual projects he has handled, the Nagathamman temple in Venkateshwara Nagar, Ramapuram was lifted.
