HURRICANE SEASON.
BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO GET
PREPARED.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS TO KEEP YOU
SAFE FROM THE STORM.
THIS MONTH, WE'RE GOING TO BE
GETTING SOME ADVICE ON WHO
HOMEOWNERS SHOULD DO FIX VERY
COMMON FOUNDATION PROBE
EMWILLS THAT THEY'RE SEEING IN
THEIR HOMES.
SYSTEMS JOINS THIS WITH
MORNING WITH ADVICE.
ESPECIALLY WITH THIS.
COMMON PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE
HAVE WITH ANY TYPE OF STORM.
EVEN IF WE HAVE SOME HEAVY
RAIN, ESPECIALLY FIRST ONE,
HEAR REPORTS OF ALL THE TIME.
START WITH WATER LEAKING INTO
PEOPLE'S HOMES T CAN HAPPEN
THROUGH WALLS OR FLOORS DURING
HEAVY RAINS.
RIGHT?
THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.
BIG PROBLEM.
HOW YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH IS
TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE OUTSIDE
OF YOUR HOUSE.
LOOK FOR ANY CRACKS.
OR FISHERS OR VOIDS IN YOUR
WALL.
KAKAAKO THOSE CRACKS.
CARE OF IT.
IF YOU GET A HE HEAVY RAIN.
IT'S SEALED UP, SOM C KAKAAKO THE
CRACKS.
WE WANT GO WITH THE SAME
STRATEGY.
EXCAVATE THE SOIL OUT.
EXPOSE THE WALL.
LOOK FOR CRACKS.
ISSUES WHERE THE WATER CAN BE
COMING IN.
PUT A REAL THICK LIBERAL COAT
OF WATERPROOFING ON THAT WALL.
ANOTHER OPTION WE DO A LOT OF
IN HAWAI'I,.
IF NOT THE SAFE TO, INJECT
WITH A POLYURETHANE FOAM.
SEAL BEHIND THE WALL.
ON THE SOIL SIDE.
BY DRILLING THROUGH THE
BASEMENT OR THROUGH THE LOWER
HOME.
THE LOWER ROOM.
IT'S A NICE OPTION.
CAULK THE WALLS.
Kelly: SEALS THE MOUNTAIN
BEHIND IT?
CREATE A GEL BARRIER BAG
BACKSIDE OF THE WALL.
NEVER HAVE TO DIG OUT THE SO I
WILL SIDE.
SAVE LYFT A LOT OF MONEY.
GOOD ORPTION OPTION.
QUICKER.
Kelly: PREVENTIVE MEASURE
IF SOMEONE'S HOME IS HISTING
OR DR
SHIFTING OR SINKING.
WHAT CAN THEY DO TO STOP THE
SETTLEMENT?
GET THE WEIGHT OF THE HOUSE
OFF THE SOFT SOIL.
SHIFTING SOIL.
GET IT DOWN TO THE B BEDROCK.
DIFFERENT PILES THAT CAN DEAL
WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT SOIL
CHARACTERISTICS.
HERE IN HAWAI'I.
WE WANT TO GO WITH THE ONE, IF
YOU HAVE ROCKS, YOU WANT GO
WITH MICRO FILE DRILLED.
CLAY.
WANT TO GO WITH HELICO BRACKET
TO THE HOME AND AND H
HYDRAULICICALLY LIFT THE HOME.
Kelly: I NEVER HEARD OF A
PROCESS LIKE THAT.
PROBABLY VERY INTENSIVE.
HOW LONG WOULD SOMETHING P
LIKE THAT TYPICALLY TAKE?
ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 8 WEEKS.
DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE HOME
SUNCHT SUPPORT PINTS OR PILES
HAVE GO IN.
Kelly: NOT TOO BAD.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
PREVENTING ANY FURTHER DAMAGE
IF A LARGER SYSTEM DID COME
THROUGH.
DEFINITELY WORTH T.
GOD TO BE PROACTIVE FOR
YOUR FOUNDATION.
THOSE ARE A FEW DINNER TIP.
ARE ALL OF THOSE SOLUTIONS
GUARANTEED TO WORK?
THOSE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT
TIPS.
DO OUR DUE DILLIGENCE.
TALK ABOUTED SOIL
INVESTIGATION.
SOIL STUDY.
TELLS US WHERE THE BASALT IS.
WHERE THE BEDROCK.
THAT GIVES SURETY AND
CONFIDENCE THAT PROVIDE WARCH
WARRANTIES.
NEVER HAD A WARRANTY CLAIM.
WE CAN STAND BEHIND GUARANTEE.
Kelly: WITH THAT SAID,
WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOTICING THAT
THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR
SOIL OR WITH THEIR, WHATEVER,
UNDERNEATH THEIR HOME.
WHAT SHOULD THEY LOOK FOR WHEN
CONSIDERING A CONTRACTOR TO
FIX THOSE FOUNDATION ISSUES?
SURE.
REALLY IMPORTANT.
WANT HAVE A CHECKLIST AS A
HOMEOWNER.
DCCA.
DOES THAT CONTRACTOR HAVE A
LICENSE.
IF THEY DO, BEEN AROUND 30
YEARS OR ONE YEAR.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.
LOOK FOREST SPECIFIC LICENSE
CLASSIFICATIONS THAT SHE ARE.
GOING TO BE DOING EXCAVATION
WORK.
EXCAVATION LICENSE.
WATERPROOFING WORK.
WATERPROOFING LICENSE.
SAME THING GOES FOR ALL THE
DIFFERENT TRADES FOR TYPIST OF
WORK YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
WOULDN'T HAVE A PLUMBER DO
YOUR TRY WALL OR V VICE VERSA.
MAKE THE CONTRACTOR KNOW WHAT
IS THEY'RE DOING FOR THE WORK
THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOUR.
INSURANCE, REALLY IMPORTANT.
IF THERE'S EVER AN ACCIDENT
ORG ISSUE WITH THE PROJECT,
YOU WANT TO HAVE FIVE 5,
$6 MILLION CO COVERAGE ON THE
CONTRACTOR TO MAKE SURE YOU
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY AS A
HOMEOWNER.
WARRANTY IS ALWAYS GOOD TO GET
SOMETHING IN WRITING.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WITH THE
MONEY YOU INVESTED IN YOUR
HOME, HAVE YOU GAIRN TEE
THERE.
YOU CAN -- GUARANTEE THERE.
LIVE AND SLEEP COMFORTABLE
WITH IT.
