房屋框架可能会从地基上滑移;薄弱的矮墙会发生弯曲或失效。
锚栓和胶合板支撑把房屋牢固地连接到地基上。
几个简单的问题,帮助你找出最值得向承包商咨询的改造方向。这是一般性建议,不是现场检查。
Was your home built before the 1980s on a raised foundation with a crawl space?
为什么重要: Older raised-foundation homes are often not bolted down and have unbraced cripple walls.
Does your home have a garage or open space under living rooms (a 'soft story')?
为什么重要: A weak open ground floor can collapse sideways in a strong quake.
Do you live in an earthquake, hurricane, or high-wind region?
为什么重要: Where the hazard is higher, retrofitting matters more — and grants are more likely.
Do you have an unreinforced masonry chimney or an unstrapped water heater?
为什么重要: These are cheap to brace and prevent fire, gas leaks, and falling-debris injuries.
Has your home never had a structural retrofit or seismic upgrade?
为什么重要: If no one has bolted, braced, or tied it down, the original weak points are still there.

| 项目 | 常见范围 |
|---|---|
| Foundation bolting (anchor bolts only) | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Cripple-wall bracing + bolting (typical house) | $3,000 - $7,000 |
| Full seismic retrofit (older raised-foundation home) | $5,000 - $10,000 |
| Soft-story strengthening (steel frame) | $10,000 - $80,000+ |
| Hurricane straps & roof tie-downs | $1,000 - $5,000 |
| Chimney bracing / water-heater strapping | $200 - $3,000 |
| CA Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant (toward the work) | up to $3,000 if you qualify |
许多州和 FEMA(美国联邦紧急事务管理署)项目都提供改造补助或保险折扣。询问你的房子是否符合条件。
四个清晰步骤——过程中你始终掌握主动权。
Where it is, the age and type of home, and how to reach you. Home basics and contact details only — never financial accounts or immigration status.
We introduce you to vetted local seismic and storm retrofit contractors near your home, at no cost to you.
A contractor looks at your home's weak points and gives you a written scope and price. Ask whether engineer's plans or a permit are needed.
You decide who to hire and confirm the scope, the engineering, and the price in writing before any work starts.
