NW Seismic Retrofit

At NW Seismic Retrofit, our mission is to provide custom seismic retrofitting designs that are suited to each individual house. We also conduct foundation repair and replacements, as well as installing automatic gas shut-off valves. We work to ensure that all of our customers' basements are finished with quality service. Our team has extensive experience in retrofitting homes, ensuring that they are properly secured to their foundations. We do not rely on a prescriptive path method and instead tailor our designs to the particular house we are working on. We also specialize in carrying out foundation repairs, replacements and installing automatic gas shut-off valves. In addition, we offer finishing services for basements.

The Foundation Works

We specialize in honest, fast and thorough foundation inspections and foundation repair for your residential property. Foundation Services: 1. Foundation Repair -Remedial repairs -Post/pier issues -Damaged framing/structural components -Floor leveling -And much more! 2. Foundation Replacement. There are times when despite any amount of creative solutions to foundation repair, a foundation is simply at the end of its service life. In such an instance, we will perform replacement of any failed portions of a foundation.  This can often be done as a "sister wall", a process which allows the existing facade of a building to remain unharmed since all work takes place under the home. 3. Earthquake / Seismic Retrofitting. Seismic retrofitting is the process of adding additional hardware, plywood, and framing lumber to the foundation of a building to protect it during seismic activity. We have provided this service to many thousands of structures, including single family residential and soft-story design solutions. 4. Foundation Upgrades. By viewing a building from three key perspectives (interior, exterior, and underneath), we are able to write a corrective prescription that is most appropriate to that particular building.   Other services: foundation inspections, concrete crack repair, block foundation refits, pier and beam, brick foundation upgrade, foundation wall repair, basement repair, foundation crack repair, soft story retrofit and house bolting.
