Seattle Seismic - Earthquake Retrofit

This is a soft-story building, meaning it has an open or weak ground floor that makes it vulnerable in an earthquake.

Right now, we are working on digging up the foundation to get it ready for a retrofit that will strengthen those weak spots.

These upgrades help keep the building standing and everyone inside safe when the ground shakes.

If your home was built before modern codes, it might need this kind of work too.

Did you know that many older homes don’t have anchor bolts? 🏠🔩

These bolts are key to keeping your house safely attached to its foundation during an earthquake.

Without them, your home could shift or even lift during strong shaking.

Swipe through to learn what anchor bolts are, why they matter, and how they fit into seismic retrofitting.

Seattle sits on one of the most dangerous fault lines in North America — and commercial buildings with unreinforced masonry (URM) are especially at risk.

If you own or manage a commercial building, seismic retrofitting could protect your structure, your tenants, and your investment.

A lot of people ask if seismic retrofitting is actually worth it.

Short answer? Yeah, it is.

Most older homes in Seattle weren’t built to handle the kind of shaking we know is coming.

And we’re sitting right on top of major fault lines.

If your place was built before 1980, it’s probably got some weak spots. Retrofitting helps keep your house where it belongs — on its foundation.

Free estimates. No pressure. Just straight answers.
