"He mostly does basements that are flooded but he was able to do backyard flooding as well. He did a good job. We did have a little argument with the County about where this drainage came out too close to the road. We had a little trouble getting that redone. I think he should have found out or maybe it was our responsibility. I think it was his responsibility to find out how close to the road we could drain this water. It could drain our water on the road and freeze and make a hazard. It took Joel a long time to come up with any solutions and we had to have somebody else fix it. He did give me 2/3 of the cost of getting it fixed. The price was reasonable. We no longer have water standing in the backyard. We have never heard a single mosquito. I thought that was going to be real issue for us here. What he did, he did well. I don't think our problems were quality issues."

"Michael and his crew are excellent and reliable craftsmen. My concrete porch floor was sinking due to no structural support. Michael came and gave me several options for repair to secure my porch floor from sinking more and he installed a support girder under the floor and repaired all cracks that were forming due to the sinking of the floor. I am highly pleased with his expertise and professionalism and work. I will rehire again for some masonry work I need, and I highly recommend Structure Work LLC"

FAQs for earthquake protection service projects in Philadelphia, PA

A seismic retrofit helps stop a home from sliding off its foundation during an earthquake. Seismic retrofits also reinforce walls, ceilings, and chimneys to minimize damage. To complete your home’s earthquake retrofit, you can use several methods independently or together, depending on your home’s condition and architecture, such as bolting foundations, bracing foundations with a cripple wall, reinforcing walls and chimneys, and adding an automatic seismic gas shutoff valve.

If your house was built before 1980 in an earthquake-prone area, schedule a retrofit as soon as possible. Building codes didn’t require modern bracing and bolting until the early ’80s, so older structures are more likely to slide off their foundations. Even newer homes benefit from a pro inspection to confirm anchors, shear walls, and gas shut-off valves meet current standards. Spending on a retrofit today can spare you costly repairs after a major quake.

To determine if your house is bolted to its foundation, you should inspect the area underneath your home for visible bolts or metal foundation plates. Observing bolts extending through the sill plate or seeing metal connectors securing the structure confirms a proper retrofit installation. If you are uncertain or the area is difficult to access, hiring a qualified home inspector will ensure a reliable assessment of your home’s anchoring system.

A solid retrofit can help your house withstand earthquakes up to a 7.0 magnitude without sliding or collapsing. By bolting the frame to the foundation and bracing cripple walls, you cut the risk of serious damage and injury. Insurers are aware of this, so many offer lower premiums on properly retrofitted homes. In short, it’s a safety upgrade that also protects your wallet.
