Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our Foundation Retrofit services
What is seismic retrofitting and why is it necessary?
Seismic retrofitting involves modifying existing structures to make them more resistant to earthquake activity. This is essential in earthquake-prone areas like Southern California to protect homes from damage during seismic events, ensuring the safety of the occupants and helping to maintain the property’s value.
How do I know if my home needs seismic retrofitting?
If your home was built before modern seismic codes were implemented, particularly if constructed before 1980, it might not be adequately fortified for earthquake safety. Signs that your home may need retrofitting include unbraced cripple walls, a lack of foundation bolting, or previous earthquake damage. A professional inspection can provide a definitive answer and recommend specific retrofit measures.
Why Retrofit Your Home?
Earthquake retrofitting is not just a precaution—it’s a proactive measure to protect your home and family. The geological activity in Southern California makes it a necessity, and retrofitting can significantly reduce potential damage during an earthquake, ensuring peace of mind.
