With the start of hurricane season beginning on June 1, 2019, and the rise of deadly weather hitting the east coast, we thought it would be a good time to talk about how a home or business will require temporary shoring to ensure its structural integrity and family safety. Here is how ABH Services will help you with temporary shoring when you call for our emergency services.
Reasons You Need Temporary Shoring
- To make repairs on a home or building
- During disasters like tornado, hurricane, or fire that damage a frame’s structural integrity
- When the foundation becomes weak or compromised because of cracks or damage
- After a building “settles” and floors become uneven or walls bulge
- When a wall must be widened because of a natural disaster or for construction
Benefits Of Hiring ABH Services For Your Temporary Shoring Services
There are a host of benefits when hiring ABH Services for the temporary shoring services in of your home or business. Not only will you enhance the strength of your property, but shoring minimizes the chances of sustaining further damage. After a thorough inspection, our shoring experts will design a construction plan including services for shoring which may also require additional tasks like a roof tarp, short-term fencing, and residential or commercial restoration.
Types Of Temporary Shoring Techniques
Our first decision will be to classify the temporary shoring technique that will present the safest and most secure results. There are three primary temporary shoring methods commonly used. Each has its own classifications based on the location and space we must strengthen and secure.
- Raking Shoring Method
A raking shore supports any of your home or business’s walls that are not structurally sound. ABH Services use sole plates, cleats, braces, needles, and wall plates to keep them secured in place as a measure that minimizes structural damage to the infrastructure.
- Flying Or Horizontal Shoring Method
The flying shoring method, also called horizontal, is used when more than one building is being renovated, demolished, or repaired. It allows workers to stabilize one structure not being worked on with the use of tools like horizontal shores, cleats, plates, and needles.
- Dead Shoring Method
The dead shoring method is used for temporary shoring of a home or business that only requires vertical structural support while repairing or removing damage. We use beams and posts to strengthen the structural integrity which bears the weight of the foundation.
