"We hired Professional Foundation Repairs (Ozzy and Darin) during our home purchase after they identified foundation/leveling issues. After the work was completed the leveling showed little improvement and they told us the contract ?wasn?t specific enough.? Four years later three different foundation companies inspected the house and found multiple areas where the previous repairs are failing and large visible sections (including the entire front of the house) were never brought up to code or properly retrofitted. I contacted Ozzy and was initially told Darin would cover the corrective work (there are text messages confirming this), but the company then stopped returning calls and messages. Darin (the owner) has not returned my calls. I have inspection reports, photos of the deteriorated repairs, and our text messages documenting their agreement. Their advertised 10-year warranty proved meaningless in practice. Bottom line: poor workmanship, broken promises, and no aftercare. I canno"

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

A home with proper earthquake retrofitting can sustain minimal damage in earthquakes of up to 7.0 magnitude, although risks are higher based on how close and deep the earthquake is. A home closer to the earthquake epicenter will sustain greater damage, especially if the earthquake is closer to the surface of the Earth, but retrofitting can help minimize the risk of injuries.

Almost all new buildings in California need an earthquake shut-off valve. The requirements for an earthquake gas shut-off valve (and who can install it) depend on where you live. For example, according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, you’re required to hire a licensed contractor to install one whenever you build, sell, or renovate a home. Check with your local building department for your city’s laws on installing, permitting, and inspecting earthquake shut-off valves.

Earthquake gas shut-off valves, or seismic gas shut-off valves, are safety devices that attach to your natural gas line. When an earthquake hits, the valve automatically turns off the flow of gas. Earthquake gas shut-off valves can prevent gas leaks, which are especially dangerous after a quake due to the risk of fire and explosion.

Generally, the retrofitting process can take two to four weeks. Your contractor will let you know if staying in your home for the entire project is feasible. However, most people are able to remain at home. If your home is undergoing earthquake rehab, it's more likely that you'll need to leave until work is complete. Your earthquake insurance may cover boarding costs if your home is deemed unsafe.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
