In my previous post Shame On You, Shame On you, Shame On You! I left a pretty riveting message about the responsibility you have as a family, head of household, citizen and neighbor to make sure that you and your family can survive the effects of a natural or man made disaster and not have to become another statistic or dependent on what will without a doubt be a heavily burdened emergency response system.
Albeit when disaster strikes we rarely if ever have the time to react. However, there are things we can do … (43 comments)
In Part 1 Rain Gutters & Drainage & What You Need To Know About It we discussed the importance of rain gutters and surface drainage. In Part 2 we will discuss the importance of a functioning FRENCH DRAIN and how it should integrate with your surface drainage.

With what could be a very wet and rainy year for San Diegians County wide there is a very good liklihood that many homeowners will experience some type of foundation and/or drainage issue be it during the rainy season or perhaps even months or even years later.

California has finally received congressional funding of up to 5 million dollars to initiate an EARTHQUAKE WARNING SYSTEM in 2015.
From its inception California's effort was hampered by funding problems, which slowed the installation and upgrades of hundreds of sensors that will be located throughout high potential earthquake zones that will instantaneously measure ground movement.
Earthquake Engineering specialists, Seismology Researchers and related members of the Scientific Community have designed a high tech computer system that will relay warnings faster than the actual speed of seismic earthquake waves traveling through the Earth's surface.
In Part 1 we discussed FOUNDATION REPAIR INFORMATION for Homeowners and Engineers. Part 2 addressed FOUNDATION ISSUES and the Cost Involved. Part 3 will address:

In a previous post we discussed Warning Signs of A Foundation Problem. In this post we will discuss the Causes of Foundation Failure. Not all sellers even realize they have foundation issues and not all home inspectors discover them. But even worse the unwary buyer usually doesn't have a clue until it's too late.
However, the person/s that usually gets the pointed end of the sword is the Real Estate Professional who should have known but didn't. In other words it can be a very ugly, sad, frustrating and costly experience for all parties concerned when fingers … (2 comments)
