"Went very well.  Scheduled it to check for any post-earthquake damage and fire hazards.  Scheduling was easy--several weeks backlog to schedule an appointment, probably because of the Angie's List Big Deal customers, but it was not a problem at all.  Technician showed up on time and did full inspection.  While the deal also included a full sweep/cleaning, he did not need to do much cleaning because the fireplace had not been used much at all over the last year.  He correctly identified this, and confirmed no damage or potential for leaks or fire hazards.  He did some touch-up work  at the top of the chimney, adjusted/fixed the cap, and recommended at some  point doing some additional touch-up masonry work in the future, but did not try to pressure or scare us to buy any additional services.  Technician was friendly, informative, and clearly seemed to know what he was doing and talking about.  He was on time, did not rush through the inspection, and it was a positive experience overall.  Would recommend them to friends/relatives.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

An earthquake retrofit is essential for safety in an earthquake-prone area. Without proper retrofitting, your home is at risk of sliding off the foundation, shifting, or collapsing.

You may also require a retrofit if your home was built before 1980 when building codes began requiring reinforcing, bracing, and bolting for new construction. You may not be eligible for insurance to help pay for earthquake-related damages without a retrofit.

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.

Even if you invested in the cost of a gas shut-off valve for your oven and other appliances, it’s a good idea to add a seismic shut-off valve as an extra safety measure. 

Gas shut-off valves for appliances are manual, meaning someone has to cut off the flow of gas. This leaves room for error, as you might not be home or might be too distracted to think about gas lines during an earthquake. An earthquake valve is automatic and will protect your home from gas-related disasters in the event of an earthquake.

Hearing or feeling vibrations in your house can be unsettling, but there are a few possible causes for a vibrating noise in your wall or floor. Light bulbs and fixtures, circuit breakers, loose pipes, or faulty wiring could all cause vibrations. If you’re not sure what’s causing the vibrations, you can call a contractor to assess your home and narrow down the cause.

The total time for an earthquake retrofit project varies based on its size and scope. The entire process, from the initial evaluation and planning to the final inspection, typically takes between two weeks and two months. This comprehensive timeline includes bidding, contract paperwork, the permitting and approval process, the actual retrofitting work, and the final inspection.

The physical installation work itself is often quicker, with most jobs taking one week to 10 business days. However, the project may take longer if it requires more extensive work or if the home has structural damage from a previous earthquake. A professional retrofitting expert can provide a more accurate timeline for your specific project after an initial consultation and can also estimate how long the permitting process will take in your area.
