Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 18, 2014
A plethora of Floridians have questions about sinkholes. One particular industry will have the opportunity to have their sinkhole questions answered by the professionals at an annual conference next week.
Builders will bring their sinkhole concerns/inquiries to the "Sinkhole 101" continuing education class being offered by the Florida Association of Sinkhole Stabilization Specialists (FAS3) at the Southeastern Builders Expo and Conference in Orlando.
The "Sinkhole 101" CE class (1 hour of General) will be presented by sinkhole experts and FAS3 members Larry Madrid, MSC, D. GE, P.E. and Jim Collier from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Orange County Convention Center West Building Hall (206B) on Thursday, July 24.
Assessing, stabilizing and repairing homes and commercial structures affected by sinkholes has become a billion dollar industry in Florida. There are thousands of insurance claims each year and the inventory of affected structures is in the tens of thousands. So if a builder hasn't come across a sinkhole yet in their business, they will soon, making this CE class one all builders, whether they be remodelers, architects, contractors, developers or others, should attend.
In this course, participants will learn the basics, including what a sinkhole is and where they are being encountered. In addition, participants will learn about the two main methods of stabilization, the requirements for cosmetic repairs and industry trends.
The SEBC Expo and Conference will be held from July 24-25. The SEBC is sponsored by the Florida Home Builders Association and entering its 36th year.
