Protecting Your Home During Foundation Repairs: Why Shoring Matters

Lifting with Care: Foundation Leveling and Shoring Done Right

Shoring helps maintain it structurally safe

When it comes to foundation work, one of the most critical — yet often overlooked — steps is shoring. At Sinai Construction, we’ve spent over 39 years helping Los Angeles homeowners protect their homes from structural damage. One key reason our projects succeed is because we take the time to do things the right way — and that starts with proper shoring.

What Is Shoring?

Shoring is the process of temporarily supporting a structure so that foundation repairs or replacements can be done safely and effectively. Think of it as putting your home on crutches while we strengthen the legs beneath it.

Whether we’re repairing cracked footings, replacing old foundations, or performing a complete seismic retrofit, shoring allows us to work without risking damage to the structure above — or the people inside and around it.

Why Is Shoring So Important?

• Prevents Structural Movement: During foundation work, parts of the building may become unstable. Shoring supports those areas so that nothing shifts or collapses.

• Ensures Worker Safety: Construction crews need to work in excavated areas around or beneath the home. Proper shoring ensures the space is safe to enter.

• Protects Your Investment: Without shoring, even a small foundation job can result in costly damage to floors, walls, or framing. We make sure your home stays exactly where it should — safe and sound.

Preparing the foundation

How Sinai Construction Gets It Done

On a recent Los Angeles foundation project, our team installed a series of custom-engineered shoring supports to stabilize a home while we reinforced its aging foundation. By carefully planning the shoring layout and using industry-proven techniques, we delivered a stronger, safer foundation — and peace of mind for the homeowner.
