"Michael and team did such an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. They took our tiny, dysfunctional bathroom and turned it into a true master bathroom oasis in a short amount of time during the holiday season. When they had the space down to the studs, Michael sat down with us and discussed in detail the best possible use of the space and we couldn’t be happier with our final decision after going through the options. Michael was great at communicating and we still stay in touch to this day, which we truly appreciate. Great team who does great work and I will absolutely be giving Waters Construction a call for any and all future home renovations. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. "

It's important to ensure that the foundation of a house is constructed and maintained properly to guarantee its stability and safety. In earthquake-prone areas like California, poorly positioned homes have frequently collapsed, while those built on Sure Safe Foundations have remained undamaged.

"This team arrived for work in the morning, and was complete by lunch. Outside wall repairs on MidCentury Modern, and full assessment to bring house up to modern seismic codes. Great feedback to close out, plus a solid warranty. These folks specialize in crawl space homes and keeping them solid."

America's Plumbing Co. (916) 488-2300 is your full service plumbing company. We offer FREE ESTIMATES on every job. We are licensed, insured and bonded in the State of California. Currently we have 8 employees. We do not use subcontractors.

"UPDATE - 04/28/2023: THIS COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE!! DON'T LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY LIKE ME. IF THEY DAMAGE YOUR PROPERTY THE OWNER WILL DENY LIABILITY WITHOUT PERFORMING ANY INVESTIGATION AND YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEEK RESOLUTION THROUGH THE COURTS ONLY!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE YOU NOW HAVE TO FIGHT FOR!! POSTED - 04/19/2023: I am absolutely shocked and appalled by the conduct of this company, its owner, manager Monique and their plumber Jorge and would highly advise others to not contract with them at all. I have a large double sink vanity in the bathroom where the work was being done. My husband assisted their representative with lifting the vanity and moving it away from the wall for the work to be performed. He then said to please let him know when the work was done so he could assist getting the vanity back to the wall. Instead, Jorge pushed the vanity back up against the wall himself. In doing so, large gauges and scratches were left on my brand new flooring. This flooring is just over a month old so there is no way it was wear and tear. This damage was not present prior to the work being performed and was present after he left our property. I immediately reported it and provided pictures. Once contacted by the Manager, 3 days later, I was told that my pictures "do not match up" with my story, that Jorge states he lifted the vanity up (which weighs over 600 lbs with a very heavy granite topper) and apparently that I was no where around to bare witness to anything even though I was in the same room and heard him push the vanity back. They are refusing to come on site and assess the damage and have flat out said they will not be doing anything to rectify nor take any responsibility. Their manager seemed argumentative in nature and came into the conversation prepared to blow me off. They simply do not care about their customers and seem to only be interested in deflecting responsibility for damage their own employees did to our home. I feel it is abundantly clear from my photos that these gauges line up with the trajectory of the feet on the vanity being pushed up against the wall, but their manager Monique stated my images do not coincide with my story which is utterly ridiculous as anyone with eyes can attest to. ETA: I have now submitted two written request to provide me with my receipt and work summary, something that I was told at the time of service would be emailed to me, and I have requested their insurance information. Since they are flat out denying liability, and the owner refuses to make contact with me, and their manager won't reply to my emails for 3 days, they are legally obligated to provide me with their insurance information so I may submit my own claim and allow their insurance adjusters to determine liability. Perhaps they are illegally performing work in the state of CA without insurance . They are not interested in resolving this civilly between client and company, and are now just ghosting me and their obligations to furnish legally required documents, seems this company may be accustomed to these types of shady business practices. ETA: the owner, Bryan, called and spoke with me this morning. He is further denying any liability doubling down that my images don't match up with my story. He stated his insurance information was listed on the CSLB website and, on his own recorded line, ended the conversation by saying "I'll see you in court"."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.

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.

It is not advisable to try to retrofit your home without the expertise of a professional. These projects usually require a consultation with a structural engineer and a plumber for any gas-related adjustments. Working with a professional earthquake retrofitting contractor is the best way to ensure that any structural work done to your home will help protect you and your family.

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.

Some cities or states may require you to have an earthquake gas shut-off valve. Your insurance provider may also have requirements for installing this valve. Even if you don’t have to have one by law, it’s wise to have a natural gas plumber install one anyway. These devices can be lifesaving and prevent fires or explosions in the event of a gas leak.
