After the Shaking Stops

Should you inspect your property after an earthquake?

Even moderate shaking can cause hidden structural damage. Watch for these warning signs and document everything before cleanup.

Foundation cracking

Hairline-to-structural cracks in slabs, stem walls, or perimeter footings.

Stucco cracking

Diagonal cracks at window/door corners signal frame movement.

Interior wall cracking

New drywall cracks, separation at ceiling lines, or popped nails.

Slab movement

Uneven floors, gaps at baseboards, or visible slab displacement.

Door & window misalignment

Doors that suddenly stick or windows that won't latch.

Commercial building concerns

Tilt-up panel separations, parapet damage, or shear-wall cracking.
