Foundation Company Reminds Homeowners to Prepare for Earthquakes Like Recent Napa Valley Quake

Napa Earthquake a Grim Reminder To Public of Earthquake Property Damage

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction, Inc., (http://julianconstruction.com/) a foundation repair company based in Los Angeles, is reminding residents and business owners to repair and reinforce their foundations for earthquake preparedness and safety, in light of the recent 6.0 earthquake which hit Napa Valley. The event is bringing the realities of earthquake damage back to the general public, from business property damage to homes.

On August 24th, at 3:20 AM, a 6.0 earthquake hit the Napa Valley. The quake has been dubbed the “South Napa Earthquake” by the USGS (United States Geological Society). Centered near the West Napa Fault, the earthquake caused considerable damage in the local area. Efforts are underway to help restore the damaged businesses and homes in the area. Julian Construction is seeking to raise public awareness on earthquake preparedness, strengthening foundations so that homes foundations can better stand up to the California earthquakes. Earthquake preparedness, says the company, ensures the safety of all a building’s occupants.

Julian De La Torre, founder and owner of Julian Construction, stated: “These events are tragic. But what we strive to do is help people become better prepared for them. When you use earthquake retrofitting to reinforce the foundation of a building, it helps the structure stand up better to the earthquake and prevents collapse during and after the quake. If we all prepare for this than we can rest safer.”

Julian Construction Educates Public on Foundation Earthquake Retrofitting

Foundation Company Speaks Out on Earthquake Preparedness to General Public

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction, Inc., (http://julianconstruction.com/) a foundation construction and foundation repair company in Southern California, has been working to educate the public on earthquake preparedness. The company has been working in the field of public safety and repair for over 20 years.

Shawn Kyles, chief building safety inspector at Julian Construction, stated: “Thirty years ago California adopted a law to encourage earthquake retrofitting of old buildings. However, thousands of buildings have still not been upgraded. Has your home been retrofitted for an earthquake? Seismic activity occurs on a daily basis in California. Within the past 8 months, there have been four moderate to large quakes ranging in magnitude from 4.4 to 6.8., two of which occurred in Southern California. Earthquake retrofitting increases a structure’s ability to withstand seismic activity, including ground motion and ground failure.”

Julian De La Torre, founder and owner of Julian Construction, stated: “The reason we are working on this campaign is to bring about more home safety. We want everyone to be secure and safe in their homes and know that their home’s structure will remain stable. The way we do this is by helping people find the home’s foundation problems and find out what needs to be done to repair them. We’ve been working on this and will continue to do so to raise public safety.”
