- 🏠 Do you know what a #BraceAndBolt Seismic Retrofit is? Our video helps explain what a 'Brace + Bolt' Foundation Boltdown Retrofit is. A Brace+Bolt Retrofit 🔩helps keep your home attached to its foundation, by creating a solid connection between the stem wall & mudsill/cripple-wall. Take a look at the work our crews do in the crawl-space to ensure your home is protected. 🚧
We've been helping protect thousands of homes in Los Angeles & Orange County by bolting the foundation. Want help from a Seismic Retrofit Pro?

I've looked at a lot of slides and diagrams on this topic, but what a difference it makes to see an example of the bolting. Especially helpful was the example at the beginning of the video showing the relationship of the mudsill and the hardware used to connect it to the concrete foundation.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
What do you do if the mud sill offset from the foundation wall is more than 2.5"?
Sorry for the delay in response. If the offset is very big, some companies can use airbags to lift the structure and move it back in place. We don't do that but it is possible. You can also add wood to the inside of the floor system via the crawl space and tie it down in place to the stem wall.
Hello . I bought a 7 "x4" plastic shed at Home Depot, I assembled it and put it in the backyard of my house separated from the Libya of my property 8 "but an Impertora came and told me that I had to get permission and I hired a contractor and scammed me if I get the permit but the city said that the permit was poorly prepared. I decided to remove the shed and I gave it to a friend. Now the city tells me to cancel that permit since I have nothing. please can you tell me how to cancel a permit i live in lee county
Hello Roly 👋 most people will just let the permit lapse/expire, but I suggest you contact your local Building & Safety department, I'm located in Los Angeles, CA so I won't be able to help much. Hopefully you have found my videos a bit useful.
