Earthqhake Damage
Dason Fire and Water Restoration does more than just restore your home or business from water, mold, or fire damage. We also help restore your peace of mind.
In recent years, Oklahoma has experienced increasingly more earthquakes that ever before, and unlike tornados or hurricanes there is no warning for an earthquake. Even though earthquakes last only 10-30 seconds, it is more than enough time to do substantial damage to your residence or business.

Reinforce Your Home
An earthquake puts a lot of stress on the structure of your home. Your home must absorb the earthquake’s energy and provide a stable path to transfer these forces back into the ground. Your home does this when the roof is attached tightly to the walls, the walls are fastened to each other, and when the walls are braced and anchored to a strong foundation.
It’s important you take action to protect your home and family against this highly unpredictable natural disaster. Disaster preparedness can help lessen earthquake damage. Here is a list of some home safety tips showing you how to prepare for an earthquake.
If the structural elements of your home need reinforcing, some of the most important and common retrofits include:
- Adding anchor bolts or steel plates between your home and its foundation.
- Bracing the inside of your home’s cripple wall (the short wood-stud wall between the top of the foundation wall and the first floor) with sheathing.
- Bracing unreinforced chimneys, masonry and concrete walls and foundations.
