Western Washington experiences frequent seismic activity due to its location along major fault lines. Even small tremors can weaken a building’s structure over time, and larger earthquakes can cause catastrophic damage. Seismic strengthening reinforces foundations, walls, and columns to better withstand lateral and vertical ground forces.
Our team uses advanced structural repair systems — including seismic anchors, carbon fiber reinforcement, and foundation bracing — to permanently strengthen homes and commercial buildings. By reinforcing vulnerable areas, we help protect your investment and give you peace of mind when the ground shakes.
Earthquakes and tremors in Western Washington can cause walls to crack, foundations to shift, and entire structures to weaken. Our seismic strengthening process reinforces vulnerable areas with advanced engineering and durable materials, providing long-lasting protection for both residential and commercial buildings.
Step-by-Step Process:
It’s the process of reinforcing homes or buildings with anchors, braces, tiebacks, and other systems so they can better withstand earthquakes.
Our region sits on multiple fault lines and experiences hundreds of small seismic events every year. Without reinforcement, even minor tremors weaken structures over time.
Older homes, homes with unreinforced masonry, or those built on steep slopes are at the highest risk and benefit the most from strengthening.
No. Most upgrades are low-profile and installed in crawl spaces, basements, or behind walls where they aren’t visible.
Seismic strengthening times vary based on the size and scope of the project. For example, larger commercial retrofits may take longer while smaller, less complex projects may take less time.
Properly installed reinforcements provide decades of protection and bring your home up to modern safety standards.
In some cases, yes. Many insurers offer discounts for earthquake-ready homes.
Seismic strengthening is most commonly recommended for older buildings. However, newer structures can benefit from an assessment.

Posted on Eric BlairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After talking with half a dozen companies about some foundation settlement I was experiencing, I ultimately went with R&R. They were knowledgeable, they engineer their own products, and they came in at a competitive price. Other companies sat me down with a long, awkward sales pitch, but not Rob. Within minutes, he knew exactly what was happening and how to solve it and got me all the info I needed. And the whole process felt that straight-forward. Rob was easy to get ahold of, and within the month, they had six piers installed around my house to stop the movement. I'd definitely give them a call if I had similar issues in the future.Posted on David DinningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hard working crew, showed up on time promised and completed the job despite some unexpected complications. I’d use them again if the need arises.Posted on Scott PargeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. R&R done a great job and fixed the problem correctly and was very professional and informative I would hire R&R in the future without a doubtPosted on Mike RileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Basement has issues since we bought in 1999 after 2 other companies “fixed” we still had issues. R&R came in and worked for 3 days. After these major storms recently the basement was dry and the walls aren’t showing new signs of sinking like before. Very pleased with our purchase! -MRiley
