Why Whittier Homes Get Retrofitted
Whittier's housing stock runs older than most of the region — Uptown and the historic neighborhoods carry homes from the 1910s through the 1940s, many on raised foundations with original unbolted sills and brick chimneys.
Whittier felt its own lesson directly: the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake damaged hundreds of older buildings here, and many of the homes that cracked then still haven't been retrofitted since.

Yes. Whittier is close to the Whittier Fault. The Whittier Fault follows the Puente Hills from the Whittier Narrows southeast past La Habra, Brea, and Yorba Linda, where it joins the Elsinore Fault. Living near a fault doesn't by itself mean your house needs work: the age of the house and the type of foundation decide that, and the free evaluation answers it.
