Mandatory Home Sale Retrofit Inspection & Compliance

Water Heater Seismic Strapping

Seismic strapping helps secure the water heater and reduces the risk of gas leaks, electrical hazards, or water damage during earthquakes. We professionally anchor water heaters to meet California seismic requirements.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Carbon monoxide is an invisible and dangerous gas. We install reliable CO alarms in homes, apartments, and condominiums to ensure compliance with California safety regulations and protect your household.

Smoke Detectors

Working smoke alarms are essential for early fire detection. We install both hard-wired and battery-operated smoke alarms in accordance with current safety codes to help keep your home and family safe.

Low Flow Toilets

Protect your property from costly water damage. Our smart leak detection systems automatically shut off the main water supply when leaks are detected, providing an extra layer of protection for your home.

Water Conservation Fixtures

Save water while staying compliant with local regulations. We install water-efficient devices for bathroom, kitchen fixtures that help reduce water usage without sacrificing performance, and help keep your home and family safe.

Seismic Gas Shut Off Valve

Earthquake gas shut-off valves automatically stop the flow of gas when seismic activity is detected. Our installation helps protect your home from potential fire or explosion caused by gas leaks during earthquakes.

Tempered Safety Glass

Sliding glass doors and certain glass panels can pose safety risks if they are not tempered. We install high-quality safety film to help meet building safety requirements and reduce the risk of injury from shattered glass.

Fire Zone Compliance

We handle AB 38 disclosure and install defensible space measures in High and Very High Fire Zones to help protect your home from wildfire risks.

Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB)

The Foundation of Your Home’s Safety. Many older California homes are at risk of sliding off their foundations during a seismic event. Our EBB service focuses on reinforcing “raised foundations” by bolting the house frame to the concrete and bracing cripple walls.
Key Benefit: Eligible homeowners can receive up to a $3,000 grant to cover the costs.

The Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS)

Strengthening Multi-Level Living If your home has living quarters over a garage or large open ground-floor spaces, it may have a “soft-story” vulnerability. We install engineered shear walls or steel moment frames to prevent first-floor collapse.
Key Benefit: Protect your multi-story investment with specialized ESS grant funding.
