I've been involved in a few The key is to have professionals do it. There is always a potential for things to shift and wrack during the lifting and lowering process, and of course, the quality of your improved foundation will determine future settling. The biggest problem I have dealt with is, of course, reconnecting electrical wiring, but there will also be plumbing issues and such to consider..

Maybe I know of instances where it was done but it's (a) expensive and, on a small house, it might just be cheaper to knock it down and rebuild, and (b) it needs to be done by experienced professionals with the right equipment. It is definitely not a do-it-yerself project.
