Preparedness is the Key to Managing Crisis

You may not think you're in earthquake country, but the reality is the Pacific Northwest is prime territory for major seismic events and natural disasters. Earthquake fault lines, landslides, tsunamis, flooding and foundation erosion all pose threats to Oregon and Washington homes. The best way to prevent crisis and reduce seismic damage is to retrofit ahead-of-time. Our services can help.

Take a Retrofit Tour With Steve...
Our Video Demystifies the Process!

Portland, Oregon-based Earthquake Tech owner, Steve Gemmell, walks the viewer through a typical home foundation retrofit project. Homes built before 1975 require foundation retrofitting and seismic upgrades to qualify for earthquake insurance. Houses susceptible to sliding and foundation buckling can also benefit from retrofits and SR walls, or foundation reinforcements. This video takes the mystery out of a home retrofit job and also includes the occasional comedic relief from Steve. Great for casual viewing and home improvement education.
