Cripple Walls Retrofitting and Joist Anchoring

Cripple walls are short walls made of wood that are between your floor and your foundation, these are the most vulnerable during an earthquake. In order to avoid such significant structural collapse, they need strengthening.

Reinforcing Cripple Walls: We also use structural-grade plywood shear panels to make cripple walls stable so that they do not collapse during lateral shaking.

Rim Anchoring & Secure Joist: Our framer attaches floor joists and rim boards to the foundation sill plate so that the framing of our home is firmly anchored to the foundation.
Stability Testing and Strength Testing: All retrofit projects are done with performance testing to ensure alignment, load transfer and resistance in general during seismic conditions.
