WHAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE BRACE + BOLT?
Discover the transformative benefits of an earthquake retrofit, also known as a "seismic retrofit," "brace and bolt retrofit," "bolt down," or "foundation bolting." Through this process, we reinforce the structure of your home by securely fastening it to its foundation, enhancing its resilience against shifting and structural damage during an earthquake.
WHY IS EARTHQUAKE RETROFITTING IMPORTANT?
Recent seismic events have highlighted the vulnerability of buildings with inadequate cripple wall bracing or insufficient bolting. Even in moderate earthquakes, such structures risk sliding off their foundations. Our team of earthquake retrofitting specialists has encountered instances where cripple stud walls have collapsed, leading to building collapse and displacement. The aftermath of such incidents can involve additional challenges, including fire hazards and the need for extensive foundation repairs to meet occupancy standards.
