Secure Your Home from the Ground Up

Older homes may have limited or missing connections between their wood framing and concrete foundation, leaving them more susceptible to shifting during an earthquake. RLFC Construction, LLC. provides foundation bolting throughout the Bay Area and Northern California, helping homeowners strengthen this essential connection. For homes suited to a bolt-only retrofit, the work focuses on securing the existing wood sill plate to the foundation with appropriate anchors and connection hardware, helping reduce the risk of the house sliding off its foundation during seismic movement.

Every property starts with a closer look at its foundation, existing connections, and crawl space access. Our team helps determine whether foundation bolting fits the proposed scope or whether conditions call for engineering review or additional reinforcement, such as cripple wall bracing. We coordinate the installation around the applicable plans and permit requirements, with attention to careful workmanship and minimal disruption wherever practical.
