How do they fix a home sliding over a hill?

Like a lot of other people I guessed this was California. Pennsylvania is a different story. First the OP needs a geologist.

If this is a liquifying mud hill it's hopeless. If there is some bedrock around the house could probably be tied into that and get a really nice view.

then you didn't see the mike rowe show dirty jobs where they moved a house. they needed access to all sides to get the jacks under the pressure points, so they could insert the girders that the house sit on, which then were lowered onto various wheeled assemblies, when it was moved.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak. Housemovers are a pretty creative bunch; they do what works ime which often means "variations on a theme" for a given situation .

I've seen a few moved in person and they were all done that way. Usually starts out with poking holes in the foundation and inserting I beams then jacking them up. In all of them they worked on all sides of the house. In one move all the dishes, food, whatever were left in the cabinets. Smooth move.

I couldn't find a carbon street in pittsburgh with houses on it.

On the north side of Bramble, where it goes east and west.

I count 20, and I can maybe see a couple small back yards, but if I didnt' know what I was looking for, I wouldnt' see it. Of course I don't know how old these pictures are. The date 2012, even though it's after the copyright symbol, must not ' mean anything. So it could be much worse now. Darn google maps, why don't they keep current?

I wouldn't even know there's a cliff there, but I think I see the trees growing up from the bottom of the hillt. .

One house has a funny looking pool or a very big hole in the back yard. The houses on either side might have small back yards. 6 feet?

Trees always make it hard to tell.
