Taking care of your home means making sure you’re prepared for whatever natural events may come your way. One of those is an earthquake. If your house was built before 1980, it is not retrofitted to be safe in the event of a quake. That’s where Evergreen Seismic can assist you. We provide a trained seismic retrofitting specialist near Federal Way to help you get all the additions completed promptly to protect your home and your family.

What Is Retrofitting?
Retrofitting is simply securing your home to the foundation it’s built on. We can attach the home with anchors, straps, or other methods to ensure it is solidly connected. Retrofitting helps bring your building into the new century with safety standards that are a must today. Quakes can happen at any time. You don’t want to lose your home or investment because you didn’t take the time to discuss the options for securing the location.
What Are The Benefits?
The benefits of retrofitting include:
- Solid protection for your investment
- Protection even that the insurance cannot provide in the event of a quake
- Reduce the chance you have to continue paying for a home that is destroyed
- Bring the home up to code safely
What We Do
To keep your home secure in the event of a quake, there are three main areas your seismic retrofitter will focus on. The areas include bracing the crippling walls, bolting the walls to the foundation, and attaching the floor to the crippling walls. Your technician will evaluate the home, provide you with a full estimate and plan, and get you secure in no time.

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.
