4S Investment gone bad?

[5yearwaiter]

[quote=SD Realtor]These are the Lone Bluff homes. We have talked about these alot as they have foundation problems due to geological conditions.[/quote]

The engineers and contractors worked on all these homes almost 9 months long time and dig the entire bottom of house and rewire or reengineered the entire house and rebuilt almost. Do you(we) still consider about these homes still have foundation deffected ones? My opinion is – may be these homes are now much stronger than anyother homes in 4S ranch as these homes almost rebuilt from the foundation level with a solid engineers and perhaps a valid worth of work. Just as a opinion, but still unknown real facts about these homes. Of course there is no doubt these homes are listed with much premium price and when you finish the other things in this home that might reach a lot premium price.

Is that little Black Mountain in the background (with the antennas)? If it is, this may be the area that used to be GD property that they sold. The property had ‘green clay’ as the ground composition. The problem with ‘green clay’ is that with a little bit of water, it become a very ‘slick’ clay.

I wonder about the other houses in that area as well..

Depends upon what they did. If you are going to ‘dig the entire bottom of the house’, it is easier and cheaper to level the house and then rebuild. It is very hard to dig out under a slab house to completely rebuild the foundation. Does anyone have photos of the work-in-progress? It would be interesting to know what exactly was the original problem and what was done to remedy it.

It was dig outside of the entire bottom and there was some iron wiring rounded through entire foundation. Didn’t see nor watch what they might have done inside and perhaps (sure) they didn’t do inside at all.

Sounds like the foundation was not deep enough in its original construction, so they dug a second foundation immediately outside and tied them together through rebar (epoxying the bars into the original foundation).

From the pictures, it doesn’t look like the interiors were touched.

-this is only surmising, since I don’t have pictures of the work.
