Urges Homeowners to Make Sure Their Home is Protected & Prepared for Next Big Earthquake
Julian Construction (www.julianconstruction.com) is urging homeowners across the U.S. to get a home foundation inspection to ensure their homes are protected from the next big earthquake. The company especially urges California homeowners to get an inspection, since California is "earthquake country," and the up-and-down and side-to-side motion of an earthquake can shake an unbolted house off its foundation, making for a very costly repair job.
Many construction companies, such as Julian Construction, specialize in foundation repair and replacement, earthquake retrofitting and house bolting. Often these companies will offer a free foundation inspection to homeowners.
Julian Construction founder Julian De La Torre stated “Our company offers free foundation inspections to homeowners, and many other companies around the country do as well. We urge people to get a foundation inspection so they can have peace of mind and know whether or not their home is protected. You may find that your home is completely protected, or that some relatively inexpensive steps can be taken to protect it. But whatever the cost, it will almost always be cheaper than trying to move your house back onto your foundation if an earthquake does major damage. We also provide 0% financing for those who need to finance their any needed repair or retrofit.”
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.

Having a foundation inspection is very very important to homeowners. Your home is always settling and adjusting to the property and sinking and cracking often happen.
