Noah’s Arkitecture

logo

Santana Nieves, inventor of the Ark Lift and founder of Noah’s Arkitecture, was inspired to find a better way to prevent homes from flooding when his friend’s home flooded a second time. The cost to lift the foundation, remediate the home and renovate the flooded interior was shocking and put his friend into financial distress. Unfortunately this happens too often in the Houston area and in many other areas throughout the country.

The Ark Lift protects homes from future flooding while creating a beautiful new healthy living area. It is the only house lifting method where the previously flooded portion of the home is converted to a crawl space and the foundation is left untouched.

Each time trash is crushed, the capacity of the container is increased by up to 40%, costing companies about 1/4 of the price of their total hauls. Replace enough hauls with enough crushes and companies will see immediate reduction on spend, haul frequency, and downtime.

Instead of paying for air to be removed, smart companies know that the next big operational win is as easy as Call. Crush. Haul.
