Earthquake proofing the home is more than simply having the building retrofitted to keep it secure to the foundation. One of the biggest hazards during an earthquake is the items in the actual home. It is important to consider earthquake & seismic fastening – securing possessions & worksafe products in Woodinville with Evergreen Seismic. Our team has been helping homeowners for years to retrofit their homes to make sure it’s safe should a quake happen. Living in the west, it’s inevitable that it will.
Items In The Home
Items such as bookshelves, artwork, and even water heaters can cause issues when the home is shaken. Shelves can fall over, trapping people in the home or injuring them. Artwork on the walls can come crashing down. Water heaters can even fall over, causing damage. Working with one of our specialists can help you secure those items with worksafe products.
We can bolt the items to the wall using the best technology and attachments available on the market. This allows you to have peace of mind whenever the shaking starts. Living in an area prone to earthquakes doesn’t mean you have to live in fear all the time. You simply need to take steps to prepare your home and your family.
Our technician will come to the residence, evaluate your home, and provide a plan and estimate of the items to be secured down. This helps you know what to do and make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Evergreen Seismic came up in a Google search when I was questioning whether my earthquake insurance was really necessary, so I called and owner Matt came out for a free inspection. It turned out that our house did have some risk factors and Matt explained what he recommended and how they would do the job. After some research, I decided to proceed. They just finished after less than a week and Matt and his crew were thoroughly professional and friendly. I especially appreciated Matt's willingness to take extra time explaining things and he even offered some free advice on a couple of unrelated areas where some foundation repair was needed. A residential seismic retrofit isn't cheap and like any insurance, you hope you won't need it. I'm happy with the quality of the work performed and the price. I would recommend Matt and Evergreen Seismic to anyone thinking about making their home more earthquake tolerant.
