(OPENPRESS) October 3, 2009 -- Founder of Julian Construction (http://www.julianconstruction.com), Julian De La Torre, has repaired or constructed more than 6.600 foundations in California and has seen the full range of foundation problems that can exist in homes. "Here in earthquake country one of the more dangerous conditions can exist at the intersection of the house and its foundation. The up-and-down and side-to-side motions of an earthquake can shake an improperly secured house off its foundation." Julian De La Torre says. "Earthquake retrofitting is the process of attaching a house to its concrete foundation using foundation plates and anchor bolts. It is one of our areas of expertise."
With the Great California Shakeout earthquake preparedness drill approaching on October 15, homeowners can get a head start by having their foundations checked. The Great California Shakeout is the first statewide earthquake preparedness drill and follows last year's Great Southern California Shakeout, a great success.
"We are happy to inspect anyone's foundations and let them know what is needed. We also provide 0% financing for those who need to finance any needed repair or retrofit." Julian said.
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.
