Julian Construction Urges Homeowners to Learn from Haiti’s Mistakes

Company Urges Homeowners to Get Their Homes Well Prepared for the Next Earthquake

LOS ANGELES: Julian Construction (www.julianconstruction.com), a construction company in the Los Angeles area that specializes in foundation repair, is urging LA area homeowners to learn from the experience of Haiti residents and get a foundation inspection and any needed repair for their homes.  

Earthquakes are one of the most frequent, dangerous and serious natural disasters. There are almost 10,000 earthquakes every year in Southern California; therefore nearly every day there is an earthquake. Although most of them go undetected ranging in magnitudes of 2 to 3, earthquakes can create and leave devastating effects on people, buildings, spread disease, soil contamination and destroy the affected communities at large, as was seen with the desolation to the San Fernando Valley as a result of the Northridge earthquake.

Julian Construction founder Julian De La Torre stated “The recent earthquake in Haiti has left the country in ruins, due to a lack of financial and economic resources to help build stronger structures to protect the area from such natural disasters. If Haiti had the building standards that we have in the U.S., their death toll would have been in the hundreds, instead of hundreds of thousands. By examining the losses felt in Haiti, it seems now more than ever, we must prepare for the future and our own well being by taking advantage of the technology, information and financial resources as a country and as individuals. Fortunately in the United Sates we have the tools and knowledge to help protect those who live in these earthquake zones like Los Angeles. We can protect our communities by reinforcing our buildings and homes to will aid in the prevention of the destruction of homes and buildings.”

Julian De La Torre has been doing earthquake retrofitting since the early 1990s and has personally worked on over 6,600 homes in Southern California. With this unmatched experience in the substructure areas of a home, Julian formed Julian Construction in 2001 with the goal of making safer homes, apartments and commercial properties throughout Southern California.

His partner Shawn Kyles has inspected over 15,000 structures, working with both engineering firms and local departments of building and safety, and is an expert in foundation repair and house bolting. Julian Construction owns its own company and is built on a “no middlemen” model - no salesmen, no subcontractors. When you work with Julian Construction you get the principals of the company and workers of Julian Construction under your home.  The result is the highest quality work at affordable prices. They can be contacted by phone at 323 733-3377, by fax at 323 733-4477 or via their website, www.julianconstruction.com.
