This service stops the problem from progressing and keeps a structure safe until it can be permanently repaired. Learn more about this emergency service from VersaPro, a restoration and construction company that serves the Detroit area.
What Is Shoring and Structural Stabilization
Shoring involves the construction of an interim structure intended to temporarily support an unsafe structure. Walls are supported, especially if they are bulging out, heavily cracked, or adjacent to a structure that needs to be razed. If an opening is created by a heavy or large object in the roof, structural stabilization keeps the area sturdy for enlargements and repairs and prevents collapse.
It can take time to determine the best path moving forward when a building is so badly damaged it requires shoring and structural stabilization. Ongoing weather challenges or insurance matters can limit the ability to progress and find a permanent solution. Shoring maintains the integrity of a structure while decisions and repairs are made.
Ultimately, shoring and structural stabilization temporarily supports a structure right after damage occurs and while critical portions are removed or replaced. This most often applies to the roof, foundation, and load-bearing walls.
Reasons for Emergency Shoring Services
There are many types of extreme disasters that can occur without warning and horribly damage a home or office, including:
- Weather damage
- Fallen trees
- Car crash into building
- Water damage
- Fire damage
- Vandalism
VersaPro offers immediate emergency shoring and structural stabilization, a restoration service that protects your property, possessions, and peace of mind from further damage, weather, theft, and other invasions.
The VersaPro Shoring and Structural Stabilization Process
When there is a gaping hole in your home or office with heavy debris clattering around or elements weighing the space down, the only thing to do is high a restoration pro immediately so the problem can be addressed right away. The goal, at this moment, is to prevent further damage from developing. Cosmetic corrections come later. Here is what to expect in such a fraught moment:
- Inspection: A restoration expert will thoroughly assess the damage first so the proper steps and safety measures can be taken.
- Protection: This is the shoring and structural stabilization part, when steps are carefully followed to provide structural support and prevent roof collapse or further deterioration. All openings and compromised areas are addressed quickly.
- Mitigation: If a storm or other destruction has allowed water or debris into your home, water extraction, fencing, generators, and other equipment can be deployed to offer temporary protection.
- Clean-up and repairs: Damaged, waterlogged, or debris-covered areas are cleaned up to further protect a structure and minimize additional damage. Eventually, permanent repairs are discussed and carried out.
