Even following the flooding many North Georgia counties and municipalities are still failing to enforce new storm water regulations that the state has required. These regulations place management of detention facilities in subdivisions with homeowner associations to pay for the costs of maintenance. Teague & Zeliff, LLC, a law firm with offices in the North Atlanta area, has started to file a number of civil court cases against counties and cities that are refusing to enforce their storm water drainage laws.

]]> Innovative Concrete Block Construction System Saves Builders Money, Speeds Completions, and Drives Higher Profits http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/12/prweb3285314.htm Revolutionary in form and function, the INCABLOCK modular concrete block system is distinctly unique from traditional flat surface blocks. The proprietary tongue and groove feature has interlocking capabilities on all contact faces. The connection forms a dilatation joint in each contact face (top-bottom-left side-right side), providing strength while increasing the flexibility to levels far exceeding all recognized safety compliance requirements for earthquakes and high winds. Because INCABLOCK units are interlocking, they are self aligning and fool proof in assembly. Even though some plans require the use of rebar and grouting, the INCABLOCK tongue and groove feature generally does away with the need for mortar between adjoining blocks without sacrificing strength or durability. The use of less grout saves money in labor time and reduces material costs significantly. The construction advantages concrete blocks provide over stick made structures are many, including termite proofing, fire resistance, sound deadening, and as much as 40% more energy efficient. The downside was an increase of material cost in the area of 5%- until now. The INCABLOCK system makes up for that increase by saving builders substantially more. (PRWeb Dec 3, 2009)
