9 DATE OF INCIDENT: February 17 , 1990
10 LOCATION OF INCIDENT: Reliez Station Road, just
southwest of the inter-
11 section with Olympic
Boulevard in Lafayette,
12 California.
13 TRANSACTION WHICH GIVES RISE The East Bay Municipal Utility
TO CLAIM ASSERTED: District ' s water pipe that runs
14 under Reliez Station Road
broke, causing 2. 8 million
15gallons of water to flow across
RECEIVED
claimant ' s property. This
16 water caused mud and debris to
MAY 2 2 1990 also flow across claimants '
17 property. Additionally, large
P};;1BATCHEL02 amounts of mud and debris were
18 CLERK BOARD Of STACOSORS deposited on claimants '
By Deputy property due to the water
19 flowing across it.
20 At the same location, Pacific
Gas & Electric Company has an
21 easement for electrical wires
and poles.
22
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE The location in question is
23 INCIDENT OCCURRED: located on the side of a hill.
EBMUD' s water pipe is located
24 under the road bed. Claimants '
real property, which consists
25 of a single-family residence,
is located on the hillside
26 below the location in question.
When EBMUD' s water pipe broke,
27 the natural flow of water, mud,
and debris was down the side of
28 the hill across claimants '
property.
1
DESCRIBE INJURY OR DAMAGE: At approximately 4 : 30 a.m. on
2 February 17 , 1990, claimants
were awakened by the shaking
3 of their house. At that time,
they could hear the sound of
4 running water. Upon
investigating, claimants saw
5 water, mud, and debris rushing
around the sides of their house
6 from two to five feet deep,
blocking the only exits from
7 the house. Claimants realized
that they were trapped in their
8 house as the water was
penetrating the first floor of
9 the house as well as water,
mud, and debris flowing under
10 the house and around the house.
Claimants were in fear that
11 the moving house would collapse
on them. Claimants were
12 trapped in the house for
approximately one hour before
13 being rescued by the Lafayette
Police Department.
14
Most of claimants ' yard, patio,
15 retaining wall, hot tub and
pump, air conditioner and duct
16 work for it, landscaping,
foundation of the house,
17 framing of the house, first
floor of the house, carpeting,
18 drapes , and wall board have
been damaged due to the four
19 and a half to five hours of
water, mud, and debris flowing
20 over the property and
eventually depositing mud and
21 debris on the property.
22 Since February 17 , 1990 ,
claimants ' property has begun
23 to heave due to the excess
amount of water absorbed by
24 the clay soil which makes up
claimants ' real property.
25 Additionally, claimants have
noticed large cracks appearing
26 throughout the house and the
grounds due to the heaving of
27 the clay soil.
28 At this writing, the property
is uninhabitable and claimants
2
1 have rented another house to
reside in while their real
2 property is being repaired.
3 Loss of value of property
as this accident will have
4 to be disclosed to a new
buyer pursuant to Civil Code
5 Section 1102.
6 Mr. and Mrs. Dabner had to
take their child to Los
7 Angeles to live with her
grandmother for three weeks
8 while they were they were
relocating to their
9 temporary housing and trying
to clean up their property.
10
The initial report of
11 claimants ' architect is
attached hereto and
12 incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set
13 forth.
14 NAME OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEE Unknown.
CAUSING INJURY OR DAMAGE:
15
AMOUNT OF CLAIM: As of this writing, the
16 amount of the claim is
unknown, however, said amount
17 is in excess of $20, 000. 00 and
if suit is necessary, said
18 suit will be filed in Superior
Court.
19
ITEMIZATION OF CLAIM: At this writing, it is
20 impossible to determine the
amount of damages. Claimants
21 are still gathering information
from experts and Consultants
22 hired to evaluate the damages.
At this stage, it appears that
23 claimants ' home will have to
be rebuilt as well as the
24 grounds relandscaped after the
excess water has dissipated
25 from the soil and the ground
has quit heaving.

This report is to address the damages which occurred to your home as a result of the water main rupture and remedial
repairs undertaken by EBMUD. The report Is to outline the architectural repairs needed to bring the residence back to
pre-flood condition. Finally this report is to address the practicality of repairing the house and on site structures versus
replacement.
The Information reviewed by Govan Associates included:
1) Mr. David Merrick, Structural Engineer letter dated March 1, 1990
2) Underdahl Geotechnical Engineering, Geotechnical consultation dated March 8, 1990
3) Conversations with Mr. Chris Dabner to obtain background information regarding the house and the water and
mud flow.
4) Site observations made on March 8 and 16, 1990 by Mr. Dennis Govan.
5) Conversations with Mr. David Merrick regarding various structural Issues.
The recommendations made In this report are based upon the Judgments of Mr. Dennis Govan with the information
available at this time. Additional information and testing may alter or change the opinions expressed herein.
The Dabner residence is located at 3235 Andreasen Drive, Lafayette. The residence is approximately 1650 square feet In
area. The original structure was built on a masonry foundation and contains approximately 800 square feet. There are
two additions. The first addition Is 200 square feet, one story constructed to the north of the original house. The second
addition is two stories, 650 square feet and constructed to the south of the original structure.
s
There was a wooden retaining wall approximately 4 feet to the west of the residence which failed. Reports prepared by
others discuss this retaining wail and the under floor crawl space. Therefore these will not be discussed directly in this
report.

Site Observations
On March 16, 1990 Dennis Govan made site observations regarding the architectural finishes of the residence. These
observations were made 27 days after the water line rupture. The first floor of the house was measured to obtain an
approximate floor plan. (See Enclosure 1) The location and size of cracks on the interior finish wails we're noted. Holes
were made along the west and south walls to determine whether dampness existed in the wall cavities or the gypsum
board. The types of finishes in the house were noted as well as the effects of remedial repairs on finlshes. Various
photographs were taken of the exterior and Interior with locations noted. (See Enclosure 2 and Photos #1-30)
The east wall of the house has new cracks as well as old cracks which were repaired and have now reopened. These
cracks vary In size from hairlines to 1.8 mm In size. There is also cracking in all of the other first floor rooms. There is a
crack Indicating vertical movement of approximately 1.8 mm between the south addition and the original house. The
original house appears to have raised or the addition dropped. There is a crack Indicating 1/8 inch of vertical movement
between the addition to the north and the original house.
There is a large crack tracing the crown molding in the living room ceiling,and split In the living room ceiling finish. (See
Photo #1) The ceiling finishes in the house are primarily spray on acoustic. Mr. Dabner stated this finish existed prior to
his purchasing the home In 1978. The wall ceiling Juncture in the baby's room also has cracked.
The ceramic tile floor In the living room entry way has new cracks. (See Photo #2) The bath room floor has old cracks
which existed prior to the flood.
The hardwood floor in the living room was cut to remove the mud which was deposited under the residence as a result
of the water. (See Photo #3) The carpet in the living room, television room, and dining room has been pulled up to
facilitate the removal of mud In the crawl space. The subfloor was removed In portions of the living room, dining room,
and kitchen. (See Photo#445)
The sliding glass door sill track in the television room is bent, possibly as a result of debris removal.
The west and south walls of the residence contained moisture at the time of Investigation. The dining room west wall
contained enough moisture to express moisture out of the fiberglass insulation located 8 Inches off the floor and was
damp 4'6' above the floor. (See Photos #22,23,24) The gypsum board in this location varied from damp to slightly
damp. One core delaminated from the paper in this location. The south wall of the dining room was also wet enough to
express moisture from a sample taken 6" from the floor. (See Photos #18,19,20,21) The gypsum board at this elevation
was wet. The cellulose insulation In the bathroom was moist at an elevation of 12' off the floor and damp at an elevation
of 27' off the floor. (See Photo #2) The insulation in the baby's room (Photo #26) and the den (Photo #28) was also
slightly damp up to 30" off the floor.
The exterior of the house sustained damage to comer trim from impact of the retaining wall on the southwest corner and
chipping of the hard shingles in three locations along the west and south walls. (See Photos #12,13,14) The south and
west walls indicate that mud flowed up to 24 inches along the siding. The deck along the west elevation has mud filling
in underneath. The false brick attached to the concrete foundation of the north addition has fallen offresultant to the
water flow. The crawl space ventilation Is plugged with debris under the north deck. (See Photos #9,10) The front entry
steps have a 1/4" wide crack. (See Photos #6,7) This crack widened from the wall where a previous repair was made.
The brick walk along the east side of the house has spread and the mortar Joints now have voids between the bricks.
(See Photo #11) Soil has been washed away from the north addition foundation and the deck piers have also lost soil
from around the base.

Recommendations
Geotechnical:
1. Replace the failed retaining wall to the west. r
2. Clean and relay patio bricks.
3. Finish removal of the mud from the crawl space.
4. Option #1 Re-level the entire house, patch and paint cracks. This will be an iterative process of
patching, leveling, and repainting as the soil under the house's foundation dries and the soil
consolidates.
Option #2 Underpin the foundation with a drill pier and grade beam system thereby eliminating the
need to periodically re-level, patch and repairs.
5. Relay brick walkway after replacing the railroad ties and eroded soil.
6. Replace front entry steps.
Additional geotechnical investigations will be necessary to provide design criteria for the retaining wall to the west and
also needed if Item #4 Option #2 Is to be undertaken.
Structural:
1. Construct a new engineered concrete or concrete block retaining wail to the west of the house. This
wall would most likely use a drilled pier system for the footings. The use of a toe type footing would
require extensive excavation into the hillside. This wall would be based upon load criteria obtained from
the soils investigation recommended above.
2. The mud removal approach undertaken by EBMUD contractors was to remove portions of the subfloor
In the house. In the living room and kitchen the diagonal floor sheathing was cut and the floor was
removed up to the walls. The first floor diaphragm has been weakened thereby reducing the structure's
ability to resist lateral loads such as earthquakes. Floor joists were also removed to provide easier
access during the mud removal. The floor system will have to be repaired with proper splices or
replaced.
3. On the moderately expansive clay soils the foundations will continue to crack as the soils dry and
consolidate over the next few years. The entire perimeter and internal foundations including piers should
be underpinned or replaced with a complete drilled pier and grade beam system. Remedial repairs to
the masonry foundation system and the abutting shallow concrete spread footings is not recommended.
4. Replace the front steps which have moved and settled further as a result of the flooding.
Architectural:
1. The interior finishes of the west and south exterior wall should be stripped. This will require the removal
of the kitchen cabinets, bathtub and toilet as well as base boards and any other obstructions to an
elevation of four feet above the finished floor. Remove the insulation, spray a fungicide and mildewicide,
reinstall new insulation and gypsum.board finishes.
GOVAN ASSOCIATES 5 Architecture, Planning & interior Architecture
Dennis P.Govan,AIA,Architect
2. The present acoustical ceiling which is cracking in the living room and baby's room has a high
probability of containing asbestos and should therefore be removed and disposed of using proper
procedures under the review of a certified industrial hygienist. Due to the likelihood of additional ceiling
( , cracking from foundation, wall and floor movement the removal of all acoustical ceiling finishes in the
house should be considered.
.r
Install all new acoustical ceiling treatment and replace the crown molding in the rooms which presently
have crown molding. Future repairs may be required to ceiling splits N the foundatloh Is not
underpinned.
3. The replacement of only cracked ceramic the in the entry area Is not likely to match existing tile.
Therefore all entry way tile will have to be replaced. This process will be iterative If the foundation is not
underpinned.
4. The oak hardwood floor in the living room will have to match the existing and be installed to provide the
look of the original floor. The floor was cut In a straight line by EBMUD contractors during the mud
removal process.
5. All of the first floor carpeting will have to be replaced.
6. The sheet vinyl floor in the kitchen and the laundry closet will have to be replaced.
7. All walls which have cracks in the finishes should be filled, patched and finished to match adjacent
surfaces. This process will be iterative if the foundation is not underpinned.
4
B. Repaint all interior walls and trim on the first floor. This process will be iterative If the foundation is not
underpinned.
9. Replace broken possible asbestos-contalning siding shingles with a matching shingle of non-asbestos,
containing composition.
10. Repaint all exterior walls.
11. Replace the front concrete porch and steps.
12. Remove all debris from the crawl space vents. Consider Installing additional venting to facilitate drying
of the soil in the crawl space.
13. Mr. Dabner has expressed aesthetic concerns with the proposed retaining wall. The new wall should
blend with the wood retaining wall to the south of the house. This will require placing a wood facing on
furring strips to face the necessary west retaining wall.
14. The wood deck outside the dining room and television room will have to be removed and reinstalled in
order to remove the mud build up underneath.
15. Replace the floor insulation, furnace system and crawl space duct work. Reinstall the air conditioning
coils on a new concrete pad.
16. Replace the sliding glass door to the television room due to bent sill track.
17. Reset front door frame, refinish front door and jambs. The door has been re-hung a number times since
the flood.

Conclusions
The scope of repairs outlined in this report translate to the following:
1) Construct a new retaining wall to the west which will aesthetically match the wood wall to the south.
2) Underpin or replace the entire foundation including the Internal piers.
3) Properly repair or replace the first floor diaphragm.
4) Replace the insulation and Interior finish on the west and south exterior walls.
5) Replace all present first-floor floor coverings with the possible exception of the bath room. Install a
matching oak hardwood floor under the carpeted floor in the living room.
6) Replace the acoustic ceiling finish in all of the first floor rooms containing spray on acoustic.
7) Patch and repaint all interior wall finishes.
8) Replace the heating system and duct work.
9) Reset the front door frame. Replace the front porch and steps.
There are other items listed in the recommendations which should be repaired or replaced. The items 1) through 9)
listed above illustrate the general extent of the work necessary to bring the Dabner Residence as closely as possible
back to its pre-flood condition.
Certain materials within the residence most probably contain asbestos and should be removed due to potential
movement of the structure.
The extent of the outlined scope of repairs as well as difficult site access for construction of the necessary west retaining
wall Indicate that demolition of the residence be seriously considered. Construction of a residence of similar size and
finishes may be less costly and the most efficient way to proceed.

TO: CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS , 651 Pine Street, Room

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT and makes the following
statement in support thereof:
1. Claimant' s post office address is: SAFEWAY STORES ,
INC. , 201 - 4th Street, Oakland, California 94607.
2. Notices concerning the claim should be sent to
Gerald P. Martin, Jr. , Martin, Ryan & Andrada, One Kaiser Plaza,
Suite 2275, Oakland, CA 94612.

this claim are as follows:
On or about November 21, 1989 SAFEWAY STORES , INC. was
served with a complaint captioned Patricia Wells as Guardian Ad

California, County of Alameda.

' p
4. The circumstances giving rise to liability are as
follows:
SAFEWAY STORES , INC. , owned and operated a distribution
center warehouse at 2900 Hoffman Boulevard, City of Richmond,
County of Contra Costa, State of California. On July 11, 1988,
there was a fire in the warehouse. The fire burned for a number
of days.
The above-described lawsuit involves claims by
plaintiffs for personal injury and property damage as a result of
exposure to smoke from the July 11, 1988 fire at the Safeway
distribution center warehouse in Richmond, California. Among
other allegations, plaintiffs contend that the fire should have
been extinguished immediately and that plaintiffs should have
been evacuated.
Safeway contends that the Contra Costa County Health
Department was responsible for monitoring the air quality in the
area of the fire, advising community residents with regard to air
quality, evacuating the area if necessary, rendering advice to
the Richmond Fire Department regarding the necessity for
extinguishing the fire, and for issuing any health advisories
necessitated by the fire. The Contra Costa County Health
Department was also responsible for monitoring the presence of
toxins, if any, and rendering health advisories, if any such
advisories were necessary. As a result of the Contra Costa
County Health Department ' s failure to properly manage the Safeway
fire and its aftermath, claimant contends that it is entitled to
indemnity. for the damages sought in the above-described
complaint.

Incurred:

from the Contra Costa County Health Department pursuant to
Greyhound Lines, Inc. , v. County of Santa Clara (1986) 187
Cal.App. 3d 480. The indemnity to which claimant is entitled
extends not only, to the complaint set forth above, but to any
subsequent complaints or cross-complaints brought against
claimant based on the above-described occurrences.
6. Jurisdiction over this claim would rest in Superior
Court.
7. The names of the public employees causing claimant' s
damages are unknown.

computation have yet to be determined.

predominately a single story wood frame structure with a two
story section at the two car Garage. The foundation of the
home Is a poured-in-place concrete slab, probably with a .
perimeter footing. The Owners have Informed me that i the
house has been altered and additions made over Its history .
The property also Includes an In-ground swimming pool , pool
decking surrounding the same, extensive landscaping,
fencing, wood decking, play equipment , and asphalt paving

BACKGROUND
On Saturday , February 17, 1990 , at approximately 4:30AM, a
16" water main belonging to the East Bay Municipal Utility
District and located underneath Rellez Station Road,
ruptured, causing millions of gallons of water to torrent
downhill towards the subject property over a five hour
period of time . In addition to the water , mud and debris
completed Inundated the Improved areas of the property.
Because this property Iles at the toe of a major slope , it
became a natural depository for the water , mud, and debris.
The swimming pool , spa, and outdoor fIrep It was completely
filled with mud. (See Exhibits A & B)
7-
Stephens Flood Damage Page 3
OBSERVATIONS ---EXTERIOR
At the time of our Initial site visit , most of the mud and
debris had been removed by EBMUD workers with the exception
of the mud and water in the swimming pool . In the areas
around the house, the ground was still extremely moist .
Specific observations include: f
1 . Entire fencing on the east and south sides damaged and/or
leaning. Wood decking also damaged and leaning.
2. Existing subdrain and sump pump system clogged and
non-functional .
3. Existing AC paving cracked due to weakening of subsoil
and imposed loads of heavy machinery during clean-up
process.

5. Numerous cracks In "cool-deck" surrounding swimming pool ,
spa, and fireplt .

Stephens Flood Damage Page 4
OBSERVATIONS - INTERIOR
1 . The Interior floor system of plywood over 1 x 4 sleepers
on the concrete slab was saturated. There appears to be
evidence of some warpage and potential for . further warpage
If moisture 'remains. The surface of the plywood was . someFihat
dry due to the heaters placed within the home by EBMUD. GSee
Exhibits B & C)
2. The surface of the concrete slab has standing water under .
the existing vapor barrier , suggesting that the water was
forced In an upward direction from underneath the concrete
slab. This observation was made possible because selected
areas of the plywood subfloor were removed by the Owner for
this purpose . (See Exhibit D)
3. The masonry fireplaces in the Living Room and the Family
Room have significant vertical cracks In the firebox .
Movement between the masonry and the adjacent sheetrock and
wood frame wall evident via separation cracks. It should be
noted that there were NQ cracks In the fireplace at the time
of the Fohrman Report , and that these cracks have begun to
appear as time has passed. (See Exhibit E &' F)
4. Bathroom vanities on the Main Floor have moved away from
the wall , causing major cracks between the countertops and
the backsplashes.
5. All carpet , hardwood floor, and linoleum at the Main
Floor damaged and/or buckling. Carpet at stairs and Upper
Level damaged due to foot traffic from wet and muddy areas
to the Upper Level .
6. Sheetrock ceiling in Family Room and . Living Room has a
continuous crack from the front of the house to the back of _
the Family Room. This appeared after, my initial visit and
suggests on-going movement . Numerous other cracks in the
ceilings and walls in various rooms have began appearing
since my initial visit . (See Exhibit G)
7. All of the wood baseboard damaged from water saturation
and/or the clean-up process. (See Exhibit C)
e. In the Master Bathroom, there are varlous cracks In the
ceramic tile at the vanity , tub, and shower . Owners have
informed me that these have appeared since the flooding.
9. In various rooms throughout the home , the wallpaper was
discolored and delaminating from the walls. This was a
result of the water rising to above the wood baseboard in
most of the house . (See Exhibit H)
Stephens Flood Damage Page° 5
RECOMMENDATIONS - EXTERIOR
1 . All fencing, wood decks, and retaining walls affected by
the flood should be entirely rebuilt .
2. Site subdrain and sump pump system should be completely
flushed, operation verified, and all parts of questionable
efficiency replaced. All damaged lines should be replaced.
3. All driveway paving of questionable condition should, be
completely replaced per the recommendations contained in the
Hallenbeck Report .
4. All swimming pool concrete decking and coping should be
completely replaced. During this procedure, the moisture of
the soil surrounding the pool should be analysed by
Hallenbeck & Associates.
5. The swimming pool , filter and pump system should be
cleaned, flushed, and operation verified. All parts of
questionable efficiency should be replaced. During the
cleaning of the pool , the recommendations contained In the
Hallenbeck Report should be followed.
6. The swimming pool interior finish should be completely
redone . It should be noted that during the clean-up process,
damage to the structural integrity of the pool walls may be
revealed. If damage is in fact discovered, a qualified
swimming pool contractor should be retained to prepare
specific recommendations regarding repair and/or
replacement .
7. All landscaping of questionable health should be
replaced, as well as all topsoil that was eroded during the
flood. The aesthetic quality of the pre-flood yard and play
area should be re-established. All sprinkler systems should
be cleaned and their efficient operation verified.
8. The exterior siding of the house should be cleaned and/or
repainted where It was affected by the flood and clean-up
operation . Color matching and blending may require
repainting of; the entire house .
9. The Hallenbeck Report recommends that the gravel layer
underlyin.g the concrete slab should be equipped with outlet
drains such that any water trapped In this layer be allowed
to drain . The design of this system should be approved by
Hallenbeck prior to installation .
Stephens Flood Damage Page 6
RECOMMENDATIONS - INTERIOR
1 . Based on our observations and Information contained In
the Kardon Report , we recommend that the entire plywood
subfloor and sleeper system over the concrete slab be
removed. All vapor barriers should also be removed. 'This
would entail removing all floor . supported cabirietry
throughout the affected areas. The slab should then be
completely dried with fan driven heaters. Spalled concrete
should be repaired and a new waterproof membrane installed.
Then , a new plywood subfloor system over pressure treated
sleepers should be installed. The sleepers should be
attached to the concrete slab with power driven fasteners.
All cabinetry and coutertops/backsplashes could then be
re-Installed, as well as all carpet , hardwood, and linoleum
flooring.
2. According to observations made In the Kardon Report , the
wood stud frame walls within the house were saturated
significantly enough to recommend that any drying procedure .
include removal off all Interior wall sheetrock and
insulation . Ceiling sheetrock In rooms where cracks have
appeared should also be removed. The drying process
recommended for the floor could also simultaneously assist
in the drying of the wood stud walls. Once the moisture
content has been lowered to the approved level of the
Structural Engineer , thermal. Insulation and sheetrock should
be re-Installed, taped, and finished to Its former
condition . All wood trim, Including baseboards , and
decorative mouldings could then be Installed and finished.
Inspection for dryrot and mildew would be Imperative at this
time , and remedial measures taken to arrest any further
damage .
3. Since the vertical cracks in the fireplaces have ocurred
after the flood, it is our opinion that because the
fireplaces represent a comparitively heavy load, any
settlement would be magnified at these areas. Further
settlement may pose a fire danger by creating larger
openings from which smoke and gases could escape into the
attic and living areas. We recommend that both fireplaces be
replaced, wi,th a new foundation system to counteract
possible future settlement .
4. The Master Bedroom and Bathroom should be restored to Its
former condition and aestheIc . qualIty . All work should
follow the aforementioned recommendations.
5. The entire Interior of the home should be repainted
and/or re-wallpapered due to the new sheetrock.
Stephens Flood Damage Page 7
CONCLUSIQNS
1 . All repair work should first attain necessary drawing,
details, and specifications, as well as all required
regulatory agency permits and approvals. r
2. The events of the flooding and subsequent repairs will ,
no doubt , cause questions to arise from potential . buyers of
this property . The owners will , by law, be required to
reveal all facts concerning the flood. It is our opinion
that the home will now always possess a diminished value
because of the flood, the damage ,. and the uncertainty of
future long term affects. As a minimum detriment to the
value of the home is the fact that the flood occurred; and
there will be no way to erase that from its history . The
best solution to neutralize this diminished value would be
to actively construct a system that would calm the fears of
the potential buyers, and was of sound engineering practice .
3. According to conversations with Hallenbeck, retrofitting
drilled piers around the perimeter of the existing concrete
slab to mitigate the diminished value would not be of
prudent engineering practice . The primary reason is that the
concrete slab is not the appropriate foundation system for
this type of soil and this would be economically wasteful .
An alternate solution could be to replace the slab in its
entiretywith a new pier and grade beam foundation system
and a raised wood floor . In as much as this proposal
appears plausible , the shear magnitude of the construction
logistics, including time and expense, may render It
impractical . One would have to disengate all of the wood
stud framing from the concrete slab and raise it or, move it
such that the slab could be removed. The earth must be
excavated and the new pier and grade beam with a raised wood
floor installed. Only then could the existing walls and roof
be lowered onto the new subfloor. Considering that all of
the other recommended repairs must also be accomplished, an
entire new residence may be a more efficient solution.

RE: Structural Inspection at 3238 Andreasen Drive , Lafayette, CA
DATE OF INSPECTION: February 19, 1990
The following is a report of observations, conclusions and
recommendations that were performed on the above mentioned
property by Martin S. Fohrman, Civil Engineer. This work was
requested by Mr. and Mrs. Stevens , owners.
The purpose of this inspection Was to observe the structural
conditions of the interior and exterior of this residence two
days after this property was flooded by EBMUD water from a
nearby water main break. . These observations relate to the
structure and surrounding property on the date of this site visit
and are presented to you for your evaluation, analysis and
review.
PACKGROUND
A 16-inch water main break occurred about 4:30 as Saturday
morning, February 17, 1990 causing a torrent of water to flood
through this property for about five hours before the leak could
be shut off. This caused water, mud and debris to flood the
exterior surrounding property around the front, sides an rear of
this home as well as the rear yard pool and Jaccussi. Water in
the home reached to the tops of the 1 3/4"wood wall molding. The
water level outside the upslope portion of the home reached up to
3 feet above the concrete culvert located against the upslope
fence at (SU The water level outside the home reached up to 7"
along the exterior of the downslope rear garage at (B1) .
At the 'time of this site visit most of the debris had been
removed by FuMUD personal and all the flood waters had subsided.
Job No. 902080
OBSERVATIONS
General observations during this site visit are discussed in the
following paragraphs. Specific observations are discussed and
located with reference- to either the left or right side by facing
the front of the residence or on the attached Site Plan.
Selected photos have also been included and located on the site
plan.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This residence was completely renovated approximately 5 years ago
after a fire gutted it out completely. It was originally an
older home possibly 50 - 75 years old. It is a two level, single
family wood frame structure with .an attached .2 car garage and is '
situated in a neighborhood of single family dwellings. The
residence is constructed on a relatively level building pad that
is about level with the front driveway. .The adjoining street
along the upslope side is about 5 feet higher, along the
downslope side the property is about 1 foot lower. The property
behind the rear property is about the same level. The property
appears to have been well maintained and upgraded.
At the time of this inspection, the weather was sunny and cold.
DRAINAGE
Property Surface Drainage
Drainage appears to drain from the upslope- right side toward the
right side and rear of the residence. Drainage also drains away
at a shallow slope from the downslope side and at a shallow slope
from the front of the residence towards an existing subdrain next
to the sidewalk and to a sump located in front of the residence.
Specific Observations:
D1 Existing subdrain system.
D2 Existing sump pump.
SITE IMPROVEMENTS
--Site improvements include the driveway, sidewalks, -patios, decks ,
fences, retaining walls, etc. - --- . y
These improvements all appear to be in serviceable condition
except for the following items which are discussed below:

Job No. 902080
Specific Observations:
S1 3 foot high water line above concrete culvert (P-1) .
S2 Wood deck sides have shifted/leaned-from from upslope
water and soil pressure. ,
S3 Wood deck sides have shifted/leaned from from upslope
water and soil pressure (P-2) .
S4 Low local area of concrete deck may have settled ,
slightly more from soil saturation.
S5 1/8" slab crack from possible recent slab settlement.
S6 Stone coping has separated from the concrete deck
approximately 1/4" for a length of about 30 feet (P-3) .
S7 Gravel from play area has been washed away.
S8 Gravel from upslope play area has settled in this area.
S9 A 3/16" separation between pool coving and stone for a
length of about 10 feet due to apparent slab uplift.
S10 A 1/16" separation crack in concrete retaining wall
from wall apparently pitching slightly forward, due to
upslope planter soil pressure (P-4) .
Sll About 6 foot section of wood fencing broken off at end
of property from force of water.
S12 Medium to large parallel A/C pavement cracks due to
settlement from. apparent. heavy wheel loads on very damp
subsoil caused by recent flooding.
S13 Medium A/C pavement cracks due to. settlement from
apparent heavy wheel loads on very damp subsoil caused
by recent flooding.
S14 Edges of A/C pavement broken off by wheel loads due to
apparent soil saturation of subsoil in this edge area.
BUILDING EXTERIOR
The building exterior includes the exterior walls,. window and
___door frames, front porch, steps, roof, chimney, etc.
Chimney
The brick - chimney appears to be in good condition, with no
apparent settlement of the chimney. There are no separation .
cracks between the chimney and stucco walls. Separation cracks
are normally caused by slight differential settlement between the
separate chimney and residence wood framing eembers.
—Garage
The garage door frame appears to be relatively plumb. The
concrete floor slab appears to be in good condition with no
indication of either slight soil heave or settlement.
Job No. 902080
Wood Siding Exterior Walls
The wood siding has no. obvious distortions or separations to
indicate any perceptible movement in the perimeter foundation or
distortion in the structural framing. There is one 15 foot local
section of brick facia that has a longitudinal mortar crack near
the foundation that could indicate possible local foundation
settlement.
Exterior Door and Window Frames
The front exterior door frame is in good condition. The sliding
patio glass door frames are plumb. There are signs of some
slight settlement along the bottom ends of the patio door frames
due to normal load transfer which is quite common.
The window frames appear to be free of any. distortion.
Specific Observations: ,
B1 A 7" high water mark from recent flooding.
B2 1/8" brick mortar separation crack from apparent slight
local foundation settlement along approximately a 10
foot section next to this sidewalk area that issubject
to ponding (P-5) .
Substructure
The interior floor system is. constructed of a plywood floor
system that is apparently supported by 2x2 wood floor joist
sleepers 16 inches on center and supported upon the existing
concrete floor slab along the interior of the building.
The entire plywood floor system was flooded for about 5 hours.
_.". At the time of these observations dryers are being used to
attempt to dry out the plywood flooring. None of the plywood
flooring has been uncovered to determine the extent of dampness
in the cavities between the concrete floor slab and the plywood
subfloor.
FOUNDATION
This home -apparently pparentl has a concrete perimeter meter basis on grade
foundation which abpears to be in serviceable condition.
There is evidence of one foundation crack, as noted below.
Job No. 902080
Specific Observations:
F1 A 1/32" vertical foundation crack at corner of the
foundation from apparent slight outward displacement.
INTERIOR
Fireplace
The fireplace is constructed of facebrick which has no cracks.
There are no local separation cracks between firebric /face
brick.
Interior Rooms
An inspection of the interior of all rooms in the home indicated
that the ceilings and walls were constructed of sheet rock.
Subfloors had been covered with carpeting in the majority of the
home. All carpeting had been removed due to flooding. There
were linoleum covered floors in the kitchen, utility room and
baths, and a wood plank floor in the entry hall.
Specific Observations:
1 Linoleum in kitchen beginning to bulge in spots due to
apparent subfloor dampness (P-6) .
2 Silt accumulation embedded in. corner of subfloor.
3 Wood plank floor appears to be. water damaged.
The lower 2" of the bottom of the sheet rock walls have
apparently .all been subjected to sustained submergence in water
for about 5 hours.
An inspection of the remaining walls, ceilings and floors in the
home indicated that they appeared to be in good condition with no
other obvious cracks or distortions.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
EXTERIOR SITE CONDITIONS
The wood deck appears to have been displaced sideways by the _
force of the water and mud along the rear fence. It is
recommended to relocate the rear upslope wood fence and. wood deck
and repair the wood posts to their original upright positions.
The accumulated debris and mud in the crawl space underneath this
wood deck should be cleaned out.
5
Job No. 902080
The A/C pavement, concrete rear deck. pool coping, pool and spa
were all under water for a sustained 5 hour period which could
have caused the subsoil to become saturated with possible short
term effects from settlement of soft soils or uplift due soil
expansion and/or longterm effects such as soil consolidation of
saturated subsoils during the summer season.
All A/C drivewayT.
pavement, concrete slabs , pool, coping, pool and
spa should be monitored during this next 6 months for' any bigns
of unusual settlement or uplift causing separation or settlement
cracks due to the saturation of the subsoil .from flooding. After
approximately six months, inspect and repair as necessary.
The 6 foot section of destroyed fence along front downslope
corner of property should be replaced.
All damaged sprinkler system piping should be repaired.
INTERIOR
s
It is most likely that the interior subfloor cavity containing
the 2x2 wood sleepers and . plywood floor system have been
saturated by the flood waters. It is recommended to open up
sample areas of the plywood subfloor for inspection in each room
to determine whether these subfloor cavities have been thoroughly
dried out. If these cavities are still subject to dampness then
it is recommended to remove all the plywood subtlooring and then
make a determination whether the wood sleepers can be thoroughly
dried out or must also be replaced.
All wood sill plates and studs of exterior and interior walls as
well as all sheet rock must also be thoroughly dried out or
replaced as necessary.
It is recommended that all affected interior wood and sheet rock
be tested with a moisture meter to determine that the affected
materials have been thoroughly dried.
It is recommended replace all linoleum flooring since- the wood
subfloor under these materials was also saturated and will be
very difficult to dry out. Is also recommended to have an expert
wood flooring - contractor make a determination whether the wood
plank flooring can be rehabilitated or must also be replaced.
All pool deck drains should be cleaned of accumulated debris.

Job No. 902090
Recommendations in this report that pertain to any form of design
work, construction work or investigations are conceptual . in
nature at this preliminary stage and must be finalized by more
detailed plans and specifications by qualified engineers . or
contractors. This design or construction Nork should be
inspected by the appropriate disciplines during the! normal
progression of this construction work to be assured that the work
has been constructed as specified.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance or if

Flooding
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Stephens,
This letter presents the results of our investigation of the soil
conditions at the subject site, and our opinions regarding, the long
range effect, if any, that could be produced by the water from a
water main break on Reliez Station Road above that flowed across
and flooded the property,
On February 17, 1990, a 16 inch water main on Reliez Station Road
ruptured and caused a large quantity of water to 'flow down across
the properties above Andreasen Drive and then on to and through
the subject Stephens property. As we understand it, the water
flowed for a period of 5 hours or more before it could be shut off.
The water deposited mud and silt on the property, both around the
exterior of the house and in the swimming pool. Water also
penetrated the interior of the home. Descriptions of. the damage. are
described in more detail in reports by other consultants. The
purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the long term effects, if
any, on the subsurface soil conditions caused 'by the flooding.
In order to investigate the subsurface conditions and to evaluate the
potential damage, we drilled 4 test borings at the subject property.
One at the northwest corner of the house, one at the east end of the
house, one in the backyard near the deep end of-.the swimming pool,
and one through, the floor slab just inside the sliding glass door at the
southside of the house. These borings were drilled with a 3 inch
diameter portable power auger Minute Man unit, and the materials
encountered in the borings were logged by Mr. Ki . Tanamachi,
Engineering Geologist,
; a :

All of the borings which extended to depths of ,about 10 feet. Boring
4 extended to a depth of 12 feet. In addition to logging the borings,
undisturbed samples of the subsoils were taken with a 2 inch inside
diameter drive sampler. The resistance to penetration of the
sampler was noted and recorded. All of the holes were cased with 2
inch diameter pipe and packed with sand, and left open for
subsequent ground water monitoring. We remeasured for water
several days after making the test borings. and , only encountered
water in test boring #2 at a depth of 8 1/2 feet. We believe this
water is from the gravel layer under the old pavement.'
The samples taken from the test borings were brought to our
laboratory for closer inspection and testing. Tests were performed to
determine the moisture content, dry density, and unconfined
compressive strength. Two typical samples of the materials .,
encountered were also tested for liquid limit, plastic limit, and
hydrometer analysis (grain size distribution).
The results of the moisture content, dry density, and unconfined
compressive strength tests are indicated at the corresponding sample
locations on the logs of the test borings which are attached as Figures
2, 3, 4 and 5. The results of the liquid and plastic limits and
hydrometer analyses are presented on Figure 6.
We also performed a modified shrinkage test by allowing two
samples of the black silty clay to air dry under a confining pressure
of 100 psf,. which is not untypical of the weight of ,a home. With this
test, we were able to evaluate the amount of shrinkage that might
occur as the sample dries.
Description of Property
The subject residence is a very old structure that has been
subsequently remodeled evidently a number of times: We
understand that the most recent remodeling occurred about 5 years
ago. The home: is supported on a slab foundation that is cast on the
ground surface. The test boring drilled through this slab indicated
that there is approximately 8 inches of sand. and gravel, which is
material originally imported to the site, below the bottom. of the slab.
There is a Visqueen moisture vapor membrane placed above the slab

and the floor of the house is constructed of plywood on wood
sleepers nailed into the slab.
The property itself slopes has a natural slope downward from
southeast to northwest, and this appeared to be the direction of the
water flow.from the pipe break Within the slope, there are a r
number of leveled areas and retaining walls and decks that
represent improvements to the property. There is a swimming pool
behind the house surrounded by concrete decking.
Soil Conditions
The soil conditions encountered in the test borings were relatively
uniform. They consist of medium stiff and stiff dark brown to black
moist silty clay. This soil extends to depths on the order of 5 feet
and this is underlain by stiff to very stiff brown sandy clay. Minor
amounts of fill, less than 1 foot, were encountered in boring 1, and
about 1 1/2 feet were encountered in boring 2.
No free groundwater was encountered in the test borings at the time
of drilling except that some water entered boring #2 from a sand and
gravel layer that evidently was part of an old pavement, and that
was encountered at a depth of about 1 foot. The sand and gravel
beneath the floor slab was also wet, although the hole in the slab,
through which we drilled, was cut with coring equipment which uses
water as a lubricant.
Our inspection of the house on March 23, 1990 and the week before,
indicated wet floor conditions, but no significant cracking that would
be produced by differential movement. The writer was , shown a
number of small cracks, some in the fireplaces and some in some
corners of the building by the owner. It is not clear that these were
produced necessarily by the water main flood, although they could
have been.
In addition to the above-described investigations, we also looked
through our files for logs of test borings that we .had made
previously at other sites in the Lafayette area with similar soil
conditions. ' The purpose of this was to compare the moisture
contents encountered at the subject site with those typical of the
area.

Cgnclusions, and Recommendations
Based on this study, it is our opinion that the flooding that occurred
due to the water main break, while causing some obvious damage to
the property, did not produce any long-term damage to the r
subsurface soil conditions. There are a number of reasons for this
conclusion.
The soils that support the home are stiff, plastic, silty clays. These
types of soil will tend to expand when they are given access to
moisture and to shrink as they dry. The amount of volume change „
can be noticeable and the forces generated by the expansion are
significant. Many houses in the Contra Costa area. and in other areas
have been noticeably damaged by this phenomenon. In most
instances this occurs when the wrong type of foundation is used in
conjunction with these plastic soil conditions. The existing concrete
slab foundation is in our opinion, the wrong type of foundation for
these soil conditions, and therefore, is susceptible to seasonal
movements of,the order of an inch or so, plus or minus, due to
normal seasonal moisture changes.
The principle risk that could potentially occur due to the flooding
would be that these supporting soils become overly' wet and then
would dry out over subsequent years to some ambient moisture
content. In this case, we would expect some subsidence of the slab
foundation to occur as the soil dries. However, the results of our test
borings and analyses indicate that the soils probably did not absorb a
significant amount of additional moisture, and therefore, the above
potential concern, settlement due to drying, is not expected to occur.
The silty clay soils that support the house are very low in
Permeability. Typically, such soils have permeabilities of the order
of 10-7 feet per minute. We performed calculations assuming that
there was a 2 foot head of water and that the permeabilities were as
high as , 10-3 feet per minute. Even in this case, which involves very
conservative assumptions, the moisture penetration in a 5 hour
period would only have about 1 foot. Thus, the, soils that would have
been affected would have only been the upper 12 inches or so of soil
and the deeper soils would not have been affected by the flooding.
The actual permeabilities are probably 1,000 to 10,000 times lower.
The actual penetration is probably less than 1 inch.

It is possible that water could.have entered through surface cracks in
the soil and could have entered the sand and gravel layers associated
with the slab. However this would affect only the top foot or so of
soil.
r
In our opinion, the moisture contents that we encountered in the,, test
borings were not unusually high. Samples are not saturated. In
order to check this opinion, we reviewed our files for typical jobs in
the Lafayette and Walnut Creek area where we encountered dark
brown or black silty clays. The moisture contents encountered in the
upper 10 feet at two typical sites are compared with the moisture
contents we encountered during this investigation on the attached
table. In this table you can see that the moisture contents at the
subject are of the same order of magnitude, plus or minus 1 or 2%, as
those encountered at the other sites. Since this site is in a valley
bottom, we would expect potentially that the natural moisture
contents might be somewhat higher than those from the other sites.
As part of this study, we took two samples of the plastic silty clay
and allowed them to dry in the air over a period. of about 1 week
under a confinement of 100 psf. During this period, we monitored
the volume change. The results of these tests are shown on Figure 7.
It can be seen that the total moisture change in the tests went from
27% down to 16% and 30% down to 16% respectively. The total
volume change was about 5%. Within a range of about 2% and at a
moisture content around 25%, the volume change would be only
about 1% and this would occur within the upper foot or so of soil.
This moisture change would produce potential settlements of the
order of less than 1/4 of an inch. We would expect more movement
due to normal seasonal volume changes.
Recommenda 'ons
In our opinion, there is no special work required to improve the long
range supporting capacity of the subsurface soil conditions as
affected by the .flooding. However, there are several things that we
think should be done.
The gravel layer underlying the concrete slab should be equipped
with outlet drains so that any water trapped in this layer can flow
away. This could be done by excavating several outlet drains

(perhaps 4 or 5) underneath the edge of the slab and extending them
up into contact with the gravel layer. Such drains would need only
be about 1 foot or so below the exterior grade and deep enough to
pass beneath the edge of the slab foundation.
There was obvious damage to the driveway caused by heavy T
equipment working during the flood period. The damaged portions
of the driveway should be excavated over an . area that extends
beyond the damage and that allows working room for the grading .
equipment. The depth of the excavation should extend below the
disturbed soils. The exposed.subgrade soils should be scarified and
recompacted to a minimum degree of compaction of 90% or better.
The area should then be repaved. We would suggest a minimum
pavement section of 8 inches of compacted rock base and 2 inches of
asphalt, although we have not made a detailed. pavement design and
we do not know the design of the original pavement.
The surface of the concrete slab and the overlying wood floor was
flooded, and we understand that the floors will be removed and
replaced. We recommend that a good moisture barrier be placed
above the slab in order to minimize dampness in the home.
Our test boring #4 was drilled specifically to determine if there were
groundwater that might cause the swimming pool to rise out of the ,,
ground in the case it were emptied. Our last reading on this test
boring indicated that there was no groundwater. However, any
water trapped perhaps in any voids or in the interface between the
pool shell and the soil might not show up in the boring and could in
fact produce bouyant forces. Also future rain storms could produce
moisture conditions that could be detrimental to the pool. As a
precaution, we would suggest that emptying the pool be delayed as
long as is reasonable to insure the dryest possible conditions. In the
meantime, groundwater in the test boring should be monitored
periodically.
It should be pointed out that the pool could have been damaged due
to increased lateral pressures caused by the expansive silty clays if
the clays become moist during the flooding. While this increased
moisture would only be expected to occur at the surfaces, it is
possible that the surface of the soil in contact with the pool could
have expanded. It is suggested the pool be closely inspected after
the pool is emptied.

Limitations
The conclusions and opinions in this report are based on the test
borings that were made on the site, spaced as shown on the Site Plan,
Figure 1. While in our opinion these borings adequately disclose;the
soil conditions across the site, the possibility exists that anomalies; or
changes in the soil conditions which were not discovered by this
investigation could occur between borings. Should such items be
discovered during construction, our office should be notified
immediately so that any necessary supplemental recommendations
can be made.
This study was not intended to disclose the locations of any existing
utilities, septic tanks, leaching fields, or other buried structures. The
contractor or other people working on the project should locate these
items, if any.
The recommendations in this report are intended to reinforce the
existing foundation. and improve its future performance. However,
future minor movements are possible because the foundation overall
does not meet current design standards.
This report was prepared to provide engineering opinions and
recommendations only. It should not be construed to be any type of
guarantee or insurance.
Very truly yours,
