Earthquake Retrofitting in Los Angeles & Orange County

Anchor your home to its foundation before the next big one. Seismic brace & bolt retrofitting from Southern California's foundation experts.

We live in earthquake country. In a major quake, homes that aren't properly bolted to their foundation can slide right off — turning a survivable event into catastrophic, sometimes uninsurable, damage. Earthquake retrofitting is one of the smartest, most affordable investments you can make in your home's safety.

Professional Foundation Repair strengthens the weak points that fail in earthquakes: the connection between your house and its foundation, and the short "cripple walls" in your crawl space. Our licensed crews retrofit older Southern California homes to modern seismic standards, helping protect your family, your home, and your equity.

Our Earthquake Retrofitting Services

The right reinforcement for your home's age and construction type.

Foundation Brace & Bolt

We bolt your home's wood framing directly to its concrete foundation with heavy-duty anchor bolts and steel plates — so your house stays put when the ground moves.

Cripple Wall Bracing

The short walls in your crawl space are a common failure point. We reinforce them with structural plywood and hardware to resist collapse.

Soft-Story Retrofit

Homes and buildings with garages or tuck-under parking on the ground floor need extra reinforcement. We strengthen these weak "soft stories" with steel framing.

Seismic Reinforcement

We add hold-downs, shear walls, and connectors at key stress points to tie your entire structure together.

Older Home Retrofits

Homes built before modern codes are most at risk. We specialize in bringing pre-1980 Southern California houses up to today's seismic standards.
