In late September of 2009, the country was shaken by an unexpected devastation brought about by typhoon Ondoy (international name Ketsana). A month-and-a half's amount of rainfall poured all over Central Luzon including Manila, destroying not just people, livestock and plants, but also causing so much damage. The condition of the people including their real estate in Manila was further worsened by a subsequent typhoon by the name of Pepeng (international name Parma). But, Mother Nature isn't just the one at fault. Man also has some shortcomings.

Over 500 thousand people lost their homes in the wake of the disasters. Even families residing in 3 storey Manila real estate in top of the line subdivisions were trapped in their rooftops because of the flood. Some were a bit luckier compared to other people, but, for those who consider their homes their only treasure, they'll have to face the different effects caused by the typhoons on their Manila real estate.

Among the short term effects of the flood brought by Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma) to most real estates in Manila include mudd all over the house, broken doors and shattered windows and ruined furniture. The first one is the easiest one to resolve but it takes the most amount of and uses up plenty of resources as well as energy. The second and last problems will definitely be very expensive.

While the short term effects are easily seen and solutions are ready, the long term problems of the subsequent typhoons are a different story. Most likely it is even worse and more dangerous than what is expected. Examples of these problems are cracks on the walls, floors and ceilings. Other effects can be rusted railings and a weakened base. It is always a good idea to check all of these things, even with or without insurance.

Water may be the source of creation and at the same time, the root of devastation. Don't underestimate calamities. It doesn't matter how sound the home is, there is still a lingering possibility for it to fail.
