What you need to know is that
Utah is Earthquake Country
Everybody is at risk. Exposed fault line on the surface (called escarpment) does not tell where the deeper angled slip zone progresses as it goes deeper into the earth. Liquefaction and earthen shock waves are more a potent risk than the exposed movement at the upper fault line. “In a typical year, UUSS locates over 1,500 earthquakes in the Utah region.”

I live in an old home, so what?
Why Does it Matter?
Calling us now may save your home from becoming unsafe or being damaged beyond repair, becoming a pile of rubble when the next quake happens. We might keep your chimney from crashing through the ceiling and into your home or possibly prevent total collapse. Would you call if we can protect the lives of your loved ones and reduce the chance of serious injury during an earthquake?
$10,000 prevention could save $100,000 in damage or more. Demolition and clean up of a damaged house and then rebuilding will cost far more than new construction alone. After a damaging earthquake materials and labor will be in short supply, costs will go up and normal insurance does not cover this peril. Aftershocks may cause more damage to weakened structures than the initial quake.
Does Your House Look Like This?
If so, that means it was built before recent seismic discoveries were made and new earthquake building regulations were instigated for new houses in Utah. Our number 1 priority is providing safety for you and your family. So get in touch! We offer free consultations.
