HIRE A PROFESSIONAL RESIDENTIAL SEISMIC & EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS COMPANY
Earthquakes are the greatest natural disasters, which can ruin the human race as well as man-made
structures/monuments in seconds. Its impact is sudden that cannot be predicted. In fact, there is no warning sign or
signal at all, which can alert people; it strikes at any point of time and ruins everything. Therefore, it is important to
make solid preparations against such natural disasters. People should make their buildings much more flexible and
capable of absorbing powerful earthquake jerks.
How to minimize Damage
The fact is we can’t stop earthquake, but we can minimize the damage through some damage prevention plan. The
prevention plans should include retrofitting in the existing buildings so that they can handle the pressure and
withstand the jerks. It requires proper design methodology and comprehensive planning to make the buildings
completely earthquake resistant.
Today, it is possible to hire a professional residential seismic & earthquake preparedness company, which can help
to make the building safe as per the desired design parameters/requirements so that it can resist the jolts of
earthquake.

Professional residential seismic & earthquake preparedness companies provide seismic retrofitting services to
prevent the structural damage of the buildings. They also offer semi-permanent and permanent installation of
modular as well as mobile structures, interior build outs, and custom proprietary modular walls.

provide their services. They make the buildings much safer as well as less prone to structural damage caused by the
powerful earthquakes. They apply the most advanced and proven construction techniques as well as obtain
permission to improve the capabilities of the buildings.
Use foundation bolting
Most of the time, companies use foundation bolting in order to improve the overall connections between the
wooden framing of a building and its concrete foundation. It will make the building safe and flexible too. Of course, it
needs proper planning, placement as well as careful installation of foundation bolts, which only experienced
companies, can carry out. They use high quality and suitable bolts according to the condition of the building
(residential or commercial and old or new). Moreover, they can also use Retrofit foundation plates (if required) to
secure your property.
