Living in Los Angeles means enjoying sunny skies, vibrant culture—and the ever-present risk of earthquakes. While we can’t predict when the next big one will strike, we can take steps to protect our homes and loved ones. One of the most effective ways to do that is through seismic retrofitting.
Seismic retrofitting involves reinforcing the structure of your home to better withstand seismic activity. Many older homes in LA were built before modern building codes accounted for earthquake safety, which means they’re more vulnerable to damage during a quake. Retrofitting helps secure the foundation, strengthen connections between framing and walls, and reduce the risk of collapse.
Why is this important?
Protect your family: Safety is the top priority. A retrofitted home is less likely to suffer severe structural damage.
Save money: Repairs after a quake can be costly. Retrofitting now may cost less than dealing with post-earthquake destruction.
Preserve your property: Your home is one of your biggest investments—make sure it’s built to last.
