        "text": "Foundation repair addresses existing damage to a home's foundation, such as cracks, settling, or moisture issues, aiming to restore its integrity. Earthquake retrofitting, on the other hand, is a preventative measure designed to enhance a structurally sound foundation's resistance to seismic forces. While some retrofitting steps might involve minor foundation work, its primary goal is to prevent future earthquake damage rather than fix existing problems. A comprehensive assessment can determine if your home requires repair, retrofit, or both.",
