We Provide Earthquake Retrofit – Our Retrofitting Services

We don’t just inspect; we protect your investment by ensuring every mandatory safety device and water conservation measure is perfectly installed and fully compliant with your purchase contract.

Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB)

The Foundation of Your Home’s Safety. Many older California homes are at risk of sliding off their foundations during a seismic event. Our EBB service focuses on reinforcing “raised foundations” by bolting the house frame to the concrete and bracing cripple walls.
Key Benefit: Eligible homeowners can receive up to a $3,000 grant to cover the costs.

The Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS)

Strengthening Multi-Level Living If your home has living quarters over a garage or large open ground-floor spaces, it may have a “soft-story” vulnerability. We install engineered shear walls or steel moment frames to prevent first-floor collapse.
Key Benefit: Protect your multi-story investment with specialized ESS grant funding.

The Retrofit Requirement

Navigating the Rules for You Not sure if your home qualifies for state funding or meets escrow requirements? We provide detailed structural assessments to ensure your property aligns with EBB/ESS criteria and local building codes.
Key Benefit: We handle the paperwork, permits, and inspections from start to finish.

The California Home Seismic Retrofit Program provides grants for seismic retrofitting of certain types of homes through the Earthquake Damage Mitigation (ESS) and Seismic Bracing and Bolting (EBB) grant programs. By taking advantage of these programs, you can ensure the safe and prompt completion of your property sale.
