Here at Evergreen Seismic, we provide expertise in helping you to make sure your home is protected at all times.
Homes built before 1980 are not secured to the foundation they sit on. That’s a flaw in the design that needs to be rectified by retrofitting the home. By taking time to work with the pros, you can protect your home whenever the shaking starts.
What Is Retrofitting?
This is where our technicians will attach the foundation to the home. This helps it to keep up with the safety standards of today. We do this with anchors or bolts that connect crippling walls to the floors and foundation to give the home more stability.
Attaching the foundation to the home is vital for protecting your investment and the items inside. For example, homeowners may be removed from their homes due to damage from an earthquake. It may be deemed dangerous to live in. However, you still have to make mortgage payments on the home even when you can’t live there. That can cause real trouble. Having your foundation secured means you have more stability, protection, and even more options than simply having earthquake insurance.

Evergreen Seismic was amazing to work with. Matt was quick to respond to our initial query, and took the time to walk us through the process and answer questions when he came out to look at the house. His bid was very clear and thorough. He's also a great communicator and made the whole process extremely smooth once we decided to go forward. We really appreciated that nothing felt rushed or unexpected. The crew here doing the work was considerate, patient with any questions we had, and kept us updated every day about what was going on. They did a really great job retrofitting our basement and crawl space and took care of some necessary repairs as well. We were lucky enough to have Evergreen recommended to us, so passing on the recommendation now! We would hire them again with zero reservations.
