Q: How can I tell if a home I purchased in an earthquake zone is bolted to the foundation?

• <div><p>Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.</p></div>

Q: Why do pipes need to be inspected?

• <div><p>Pipes should be inspected regularly so you can catch any red flags early on.

Gus and crew were on time, effective and efficient. My home had failed insurance inspection and Rhino corrected the mildew/mole problems. And pointed out areas of the house that needed attending to. Thoughtful, friendly and fair price. I would rehire and recommend Rhino Roofing and masonry.
