The biggest hidden danger when buying in an Ecuador coastal development

Many developments on the coast of Ecuador have an elephant in the room.

Can´t see it and they don´t mention it when trying to sell you their property.

It´s up to you to thoroughly research this before buying… as most developments DO have a big problem and is the Roof Replacement this should be the first thing you should pay attention to, when you diced to purchase a property in this area, due the salt water is very corrosive and affect the roofs directly.

The WATER situation.

You see, on the Ecuador coast many developments get developed in areas with already precarious water situations, and the local governments don´t demand (like they do in places like the US) that the development invest to increase the capacity of the installations of the general area for the ballooning amount of people the area will hold once the development is finished.

Basically ionized water is naturally occurring water that has undergone a process of ionization with the use of an alkaline water ionizer machine. During the process, the water has been separated into two streams of acidic and alkaline water. Water which is neutral is subjected to a process of electrolysis from electrodes containing magnesium and calcium ions, the process split the water molecule into its two components. Ionized water contains millions of anti-oxidants ions become supercharged actively and effectively make contact with the positively charged free radicals in our body to rejuvenate the cells. As a result, it helps prevent premature aging. Water at its natural form contains 10 to 13 molecules per cluster and after electrolysis, ionized water which had been reformed contains 5 to 6 molecules per cluster. With a smaller cluster, it make cell to absorb it easier. The best alkaline water with a pH value greater than 7, which means it is high alkalinity. This water can be produced with the help of a water ionizer machine fixed to the kitchen tap.

The human body is made up of a largely of water, a high percentage of 70%. The body is extremely sensitive to the balance of acid and alkaline condition as it requires a balanced environment for the body systems to function optimally. Too much acid in our body is not conducive for the body and can be dangerous and may weaken the body immune system. Such conditions may create an ideal environment for the promotion of various diseases. A normal and balanced acidic and alkaline environment allows the body to work properly to fight diseases. A healthy body keeps sufficient alkaline to meet any emergency demands. When too much acid has to be neutralized, the reserves alkaline will rapidly be depleted thus exposing the body to virus attack. Thus, a balanced pH diet is key to a healthy body.

Drinking of ionized water is known to have many health benefits. Research has shown the many benefits in using alkaline ionized water. This hydrolysed liquid provides hydration that is said to be three to six times the hydration capability of untreated water. As such, it is needed to correct any dehydration state rapidly and safely.

Treated water helps improve many types of skin conditions, such as restore sunburns and rejuvenate rough and dry skins preventing premature aging giving the users a younger look. It is also known to replenish calcium deficiency thereby preventing bone loss.

Drinking alkaline ionized water prevents the degeneration of bone structure such as arthritis, osteoporosis and certain types of kidney disorders. Ionized cleanse the body of harmful toxins and remove fatty acids thereby increase the immune system of the body.

I can live without electricity a few days(I´ve done it).  But try living without water for a day or two, it really sucks.  Yes, you can have cisterns as most do in Ecuador, but those only last a few days max, then you are dependent on the whims of expensive tanker trucks to come give you water on their schedule.

And yes, the price of water raises in times of need.

In the United States alone, damage accounts for over 25 percent of all home insurance claims, with more than 37 percent homeowners admitting to loss of property due to extensive water damage which needs to be repaired by the flood restoration auckland company. All sources of this damage leave tell-tale signs around the place. The trick lies in being able to detect these signs and initiating water damage repair before it is too late.

Water stains on the ceilings or a wet spot under the kitchen sink could develop into something bigger, such as a weakened roof or a rotten floor board. So learn to recognize the first sign of damage which is almost always evident for everyone to notice but rarely catches the attention of homeowners until all hell has been broken loose in the living room. The most obvious signs of moisture build-up that can eventually escalate to damage are drippy faucets or shower heads, water stains on the roof or walls, damp surface areas, unusual humidity or coolness in a particular room and a distinct odor of mildew. If your home or a particular room in the house begins to smell of molds, it is high time you hire a water damage repair company like TheCleanupGuys.com to arrest the initial stages of destruction.

Some believe the expertise of a water damage contractor is required only during floods or similar natural disasters. Even trivial water leaks that could lead to a mammoth destruction should be brought to the attention of restoration companies who will not only help you identify the source of the leak but also restore your property to its pre-incident state. There are plenty of damage restoration companies in the U.S. and the services they offer are based on reliable restoration principles coupled with research, practical experience and extensive consultation gathered from numerous sources. Most of these companies provide water damage repair services, mold remediation service, flood damage cleanup, interior restoration as well as fire and smoke cleanup for both residential and commercial properties.

But there are some areas of the coast that really don´t have city water problems, and a few developments that have really planned ahead, although if you still have problems with water such as flooding, the use of restoration services could really help with this, you can learn more about Water Restoration USA and how to use these services to solve these issues.

I´d talk to folks already living there before buying and don´t buy anything you can´t see or whose value is based on promises (aka pre-construction) in Ecuador.  (That´s just how I feel.)
