The safety of your family and the value of your home must always be the top priority when you live in Southern California because of the possibility of seismic activity. Similarly, when it comes to your business, your employees and the value of your building should never be taken lightly, by any means. Earthquake retrofitting of Los Angeles structures is not only smart, in most cases it’s legally mandated to comply with current earthquake codes, and for good reason. The inherent unpredictability of earthquakes make it critical to retrofit or upgrade now rather than later. Many insurance policies do not cover earthquakes without a considerable extra cost and insuring a structure that has not been properly earthquake retrofitted can be incredibly pricy.

Seismic Brothers can handle all of your earthquake retrofitting & house bolting needs. Earthquake retrofitting of Los Angeles structures can help to protect against small tremors, shifts in the earth and vibrations that can cause foundation wall damage. With 20 plus years of experience constructing foundations, we make sure to apply correct solution to ensure your homes safety for years to come.

If your home was built prior to 1945, it’s a definite possibility it was not built with it being properly bolted down to the foundation using “anchor bolts”. It’s quite possible your home doesn’t live up to modern Los Angeles seismic retrofitting codes and may be at risk to sever damage in the event of seismic activity. Earthquake retrofitting adds hardware to the existing structure making it more resistant to sliding off the foundation during seismic activity.

Earthquake retrofitting is different for every home and is based on a variety of factors, such as when, where and how the home was built, as well as how the foundation is current performing. Seismic Brothers will evaluate your property and come up with the most optimum solution for your home, which may involve bolting and installing framing anchors. Whatever the case may be Seismic Brothers will take care of you and your home, every step of they way.
