Hey Seattle,

Are you ready for the big one? We know we are. But did you know that just having a retrofitted home can mean the difference between life and death?

Last Tuesday morning, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit Humboldt County in northern California, damaging a bridge, roads, and knocking out electricity for half the county. Residents are preparing themselves for potential aftershocks while sharing pictures and videos of the devastation to their homes. 

We recommend homeowners in Seattle Washington to do a self check, and find out if your homes are retrofitted. Having an unretrofitted home can cause homes to either slide of the foundation or collapse, causing major to irreversible damage to properties or even death in the event of earthquakes like this.

Sound Seismic has over 20 years of experience and has retrofitted thousands of homes. You can rely on us to help you be better prepared! Talk to one of our specialists today!
