At Sinai Construction, every seismic retrofit begins with one essential step—a thorough foundation inspection. Before any bolts, braces, or reinforcements are installed, we take a detailed look at how the home’s foundation is currently performing. This inspection gives us a clear picture of what needs to be secured, strengthened, and fortified so the structure is better equipped to handle the next earthquake.
During this recent project, our team identified key areas where the foundation needed additional support. These findings guide how we design the retrofit—whether it’s adding anchor bolts, installing shear walls, or reinforcing cripple walls—ensuring the home has the stability it needs when the ground starts to shake.
A seismic retrofit helps brace and bolt your foundation, dramatically improving your home’s ability to withstand violent earthquake movement. Beyond offering peace of mind, a retrofit can also reduce the severity of damage during an earthquake, potentially saving homeowners thousands in repair costs.
Living in Los Angeles means earthquakes aren’t a matter of if, but when. Strengthening your foundation now means greater safety and security later.
