How to Know If a Home Should be Retrofitted or Not

Retrofitting is one of the safest solutions for making your house strong enough to withstand the sheer force of any natural disaster. A building structure gets more affected by an earthquake, whose magnitude depends on the area of your location and severity rests on the age of your house. It's never easy to estimate that your home is earthquake resistant or not. So, to ease your confusion, see the below slideshow to find out whether or not a home should be retrofitted.
