"Corvus Construction is one in a million! Denis and the crew were responsive and professional at all times. Here are a few examples: 1. The crew showed up for work every day ready to go and prepared with a good attitude. 2. During the day, the crew was considerate of personal property and communicated very well on desires and questions. 3. Before leaving each day they cleaned up the work area as much as possible making certain it was safe for us to use without stepping on something sharp. Also, each day before leaving, the guys asked if we wanted to check their progress and answer any questions we may have had. Denis runs the crew with a tight rein and keeps track of everything about to happen in the expected order. There was never a time when we were uncertain of the progress expected and all questions were answered promptly. Any new issues were resolved without delay. Making this team even more exceptional, Denis went above and beyond to help us figure out another problem we were experiencing outside of the contracted job. We did what he suggested saving us even more stress, time, and money. Besides the carpenters being on point, accurate, and amazing, the tile expert created a work of art we are very proud of and will enjoy for the rest of our lives. We look forward to hiring Corvus Construction again for future projects."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
