What we Do
Our Core Services
Earthquake Brace + Bolt
Homes built before 1980 are especially vulnerable to earthquake damage. Through California’s Earthquake Brace + Bolt program, qualifying homeowners can receive up to $3,000 in grants to help offset retrofitting costs. SOCAL SEISMIC CONSTRUCTION is an approved contractor, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process from confirming eligibility to completing the retrofit.
Earthquake Retrofitting
An earthquake retrofit strengthens your home’s foundation and framing to help it withstand lateral seismic forces. Our team specializes in foundation bolting, which attaches the wood frame to the concrete foundation; cripple wall bracing, which reinforces crawl space walls with structural plywood; and shear transfer ties, which ensure your home moves as a single, stable unit during shaking. With decades of experience, SOCAL SEISMIC CONSTRUCTION provides retrofits that protect your home, lower insurance costs, and offer lasting peace of mind.
Foundation Replacement
When repairs are no longer sufficient, a full foundation replacement restores the structural integrity of your Los Angeles home. The process involves supporting the house, carefully removing the old foundation, and installing a new, reinforced concrete base built to meet modern seismic standards. This approach provides long-term stability and safety, increases property value, and offers protection against soil movement and seismic activity.
Escrow Foundation Inspections
Buying or selling a home? Our escrow foundation inspections provide same-day reports covering foundation stability, drainage, and seismic readiness. These professional evaluations help agents, buyers, and sellers move forward with confidence and keep escrow timelines on track.

Additional Services
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Moisture and humidity in crawl spaces can cause mold, wood rot, and structural issues. Our crawl space encapsulation services seal and protect this area with vapor barriers, insulation, and dehumidification systems creating a cleaner, healthier environment and extending the life of your foundation.
Foundation Crack Stitching
Cracks in a foundation can allow water intrusion and weaken structural integrity. Instead of replacing the entire foundation, our team uses foundation crack stitching with carbon fiber, steel reinforcements, and epoxy injections to stabilize and repair cracks, restoring strength and preventing further damage.
Soft-Story Retrofitting
Many LA homes and apartment buildings with tuck-under parking or open ground floors are considered soft-story structures, which are highly vulnerable in earthquakes. Our soft-story retrofits reinforce these weak points with steel frames and structural bracing, helping prevent collapse during seismic activity.
Beam Reinforcement
Floor and roof beams bear significant loads in your home. Over time, they can weaken due to age, pests, or seismic stress. We provide beam reinforcement services that strengthen existing framing with steel plates, sister beams, or advanced connectors, ensuring your home remains structurally sound.
