Will Your Home and its Contents Survive
an Earthquake or Natural Disaster?

Recent global earthquakes are a strong reminder to us that the big one in Portland is not an If, but a big fat When! Thus the importance of home retrofitting. And the news stories got us thinking: Is our house firmly connected to its foundation?

The best way to protect your home and its contents (including your family) is to get a quality seismic assessment and/or upgrade. Earthquake Tech’s customized foundation retrofits, beam and structural reinforcements, cripple walls, and SR wall installations keep your entire home securely fastened. Remember to bolt down water heaters, oil tanks, large shelves, separate buildings or units—but wait, they do that, too! 

Bonus: These steps are not only smart and affordable—they’ll save you money on home insurance. 

Inspired by his own desire for earthquake insurance in 1999, proprietor Steve Gemmell became familiar with what it takes to not only qualify for earthquake insurance, but to assess what really needs to be done to a home for maximum security when it comes to earthquake hazard potential. Earthquake Tech specializes in basic to complex remodels, installations, and miscellaneous repairs. If your foundation is failing or cracked, they will efficiently repair and upgrade the structure. 

You can rely on their free, no-obligation estimate for any service you want—at your convenience. Their professional crews are respectful to your home and will provide all services in the fastest, most non-invasive manner possible.
