Seismic retrofit surveys in Claremont
Aspenwell Construction runs a Claremont retrofit on the survey form, sketch and inspection checklist it also carries to La Verne, San Dimas and Glendora.
The paperwork for a Claremont retrofit looks alike whether the next job is in La Verne, San Dimas, Glendora, Covina, Diamond Bar or Walnut. A survey form records the sill, anchors, short walls and posts. A sketch places each finding on the floor plan. A checklist follows the inspections in order. Keeping those pages matched across the nearby cities means nothing gets skipped when the address changes.
What the survey form asks
The form starts at the access hatch and moves around the foundation in one direction, so two surveys of different houses can be read side by side. For each run of sill it asks whether the wood is sound, whether anchors are present and at what spacing, and whether the short wall above has plywood. Posts under the girder get their own lines. A blank on the form means a spot was not reached, and the plan has to say how that spot will be checked before the work is signed off.
Claremont plan review
The reviewer at the Claremont building department reads the set, and inspections follow the checklist, with anchors and washers seen while exposed, plywood nailing after them and a final visit once vents and access covers are back. An engineer joins when the short walls run taller than the prescriptive plan allows or a beam is part of the job. Diamond Bar and Walnut nearby send the same kind of set to the reviewer for each city, and the checklist is relabeled to match that office's inspection names.
