Home Foundation Contractor Gives No-Cost Foundation Inspections

Julian Construction Does Home Foundations Inspections at No Charge to Check for Damage Due to Fires, Heavy Rains, & Earthquakes

 

LOS ANGELES – Julian Construction, a Los Angeles based construction company that specializes in foundation repair and construction, is helping homeowners take preparedness measures for potential landslides and earthquakes by giving free home foundation inspections.

“The harsh temperature changes, heavy rainfall, and fires this past year have potentially affected foundation integrity in regions all over Southern California,” says Julian De La Torre, founder of Julian Construction, foundation contractors. “We want to ensure home properties are safe after environmental situations like this.”

A lot of people had to evacuate their homes because of the fires and subsequent rains. These people may have experienced relief when their tribulation was over, however Julian said, “Now they face a new danger, which is the potential instability of a home foundation which often arises from those circumstances.”

According to Julian, changes in hydrology and temperature can soften the soil and liquefy it, potentially causing problems with the integrity of the foundation. Even when it was deemed safe to return or remain home, the stability of a property’s foundation is unknown and should be tested.

Julian De La Torre and his partner Shawn Kyles have been retrofitting homes in Southern California since the early 1990s, and they work with both engineering firms and local departments of building and safety. As experts in foundation repair, Julian Construction is giving home foundation inspections at no charge. For those who need repair or retrofit, the company offers 0% financing.

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, Mr. De La Torre 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.

Avoid Landslides: Get a Home Foundation Inspection

Foundation Contractor Julian Construction Advises Homeowners in Potential Landslide Areas to Get Foundation Inspected

 

LOS ANGELES – The recent killer landslide in Quebec brings concern to other corners of the world with homes in high-risk areas, prompting homeowners in various regions to get their home foundations inspected to avoid a similar tragedy.

“Foundations of a home can get damaged by water, especially after a heavy rain fall, and exposure to water accumulation can weaken not only hillsides, but foundations of a home as well,” says Julian De La Torre of Julian Construction, which specializes in foundation repair and construction.

Julian De La Torre has been retrofitting homes in Southern California since the early 1990s and urges homeowners to get their home foundations inspected. Julian reported, “Certain types of soil may be more stable than others, changes in hydrology and temperature can soften the soil and turn it to liquid, which can cause serious erosion to any kind of soil. This in turn can weaken the home foundation.”

Even when people return to their evacuated homes after it is deemed safe, the stability of their property and its foundation is still unknown. In an appeal to homeowners to get their home foundations checked, Julian Construction is giving home foundation inspections at no charge. For those who need foundation repair or retrofit, the company offers 0% financing.

“You shouldn’t wait until you have trouble opening doors and windows,” says Julian. “Damage to home foundations isn’t always so obvious and needs to be checked by experts.”

With soil stability having changed conditions due to the fires and heavy rains in Southern California, the integrity of home foundations might be at risk and should be tested. Because of its potential threat to homes, this extra precaution could save huge property loss, as well as save lives.
