Why do some homes survive earthquakes relatively unscathed? And, others end up with a lot of damage?

There is no mystery! It’s simple... if a home has Insufficient connections between frame and foundation, it can be displaced completely from its foundation in a strong quake.

If it has insufficient lateral bracing (shear-strength) in the load bearing, supporting walls, it can result in either a partial or complete collapse of the perimeter cripple walls. 

Either form of damage can amount to a total loss scenario for the homeowner!

Time to bolt down your home. Many believe an earthquake retrofit is just a preventative measure. it’s not! It’s essential if you’re living in the bay area.

And, the government is offering $3,000 grants to get it done. Check the link in bio to learn more about this grant.

California has more than a 99% chance of having a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake within the next 30 years, according to scientists using a new model to determine the probability of big quakes.

Time to bolt down your foundation. Don’t wait until it’s too late because as you can see... it’s coming! 🏠🔩

We keep it simple at Bolt Down the Bay Area.

For massive structural support we use these two heroic house saving strategies:

1 - House Bolting - Attaching the wood frame to the concrete foundation with anchor bolts or metal plates.

2 - Shearwall Bracing - Steel reinforced foundations, hold downs, anchor bolts, and limited clearance connections.

Retrofitted homes in areas hit hard by earthquakes have performed well, with little or no structural damage.

The most likely source of big earthquakes is the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault (31% in the next 30 years).

The USGS warns if an earthquake strikes at one of the closer fault areas, such as the Hayward fault, shaking in local cities can be 5 to 12 times stronger than it was in 1989.

There is an ongoing need for all communities to continue preparing for the quakes that will strike in the future. Do your part. Get your home bolted down. 🏠🔩
