Send us a textFlooding is a harsh reality for communities across Florida and the U.S. Rising tides, storm surges, and unpredictable weather have left many searching for solutions beyond sandbags and hope. But what if you could physically lift your home—or even an entire building—out of harm's way?In this episode of Take It To the Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Wayne Fairley, founder and managing director of Planet 3 (P3) Elevation, to explore the groundbreaking work of structural elevation. This innovative flood protection method quite literally raises homes and buildings above flood levels, providing a long-term safeguard against water damage.The process may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's real—and remarkably effective. Skilled teams tunnel beneath structures, creating a network of passages to access the structural supports. Using hydraulic jacks and strategically placed concrete blocks, they gradually lift entire structures, slab and all, to safer elevations. What's even more surprising? The disruption to homeowners is minimal. Most families only need to leave for about a week during the lifting phase, with no need to move furniture. When they return, their home is exactly as they left it—just several feet higher. For residents of flood-prone areas like Houston's Meyerland, where some have endured multiple remodels after repeat flooding, this solution has been life-changing.Beyond flood protection, elevation restores property values, slashes insurance premiums, and delivers priceless peace of mind. For many, lifting their home isn't just a precaution—it's a necessity. While the cost—typically $200,000–$280,000 for a 2,500-square-foot home—is significant, it often proves more economical than repeated flood repairs. Plus, FEMA grants may help offset expenses.As climate change drives more frequent and severe flooding across the United States, structural elevation offers a possible solution that works with nature rather than against it. Whether you're dealing with coastal storm surges, river overflows, or drainage issues from nearby development, lifting your home might be the most reliable way to rise above the water—literally.Conversation Highlights Include:The ins and outs of the elevation processGrants available to homeowners who want to elevate their homesHeight or weight limitations on the structures Minimum and maximum elevation heightsElevation for multifamily buildingsThe Slab VariablePotential downsides to elevating a structureWhat's next for P3?Related Links:Online Class: Disaster Preparedness & RecoveryArticle: Rising Sea Levels Bring a Wave of Risk — Even in Unexpected LocalesPodcast: Navigating the Negative Impacts of Sea Level Rise with Professor Harold R.

Meyerland, built on former rice fields in southwest Houston, was one of Houston's earliest master-planned communities promising to bring suburban life relatively close to the city. But the neighborhood has been repeatedly ravaged by floods, with some of the worst damage occurring in Hurricane Harvey five years ago. Even though Meyerland shows us the repercussions of building in the floodplain and many communities throughout Houston are still recovering from Harvey, real estate developers continue to build in floodprone areas with nearly 1 in 8 houses built in the floodplain in Houston now. Development continues to blossom in West Houston throughout the floodplain in areas like Katy Prairie, but this time with newer, better building standards than what was required 50 years ago when Meyerland was constructed. But are the new standards enough to protect homeowners? Looped In hosts R.A. Schuetz and Marissa Luck sit down with Houston Chronicle's county reporter Jen Rice to discuss how Houston's development standards could potentially be putting property owners in flood-prone areas at risk.

In 1968, Elaine and Dean Goss opened up the Holiday Dinner Theater in Houston, Texas. The place was a huge hit and so was Dean Goss, who quickly became known as “The Jackie Gleason of Houston.” Dean was so big, in fact, that he and Elaine's establishment was renamed The Dean Goss Dinner Theater. For a decade, Elaine and Dean lived the high life, hobnobbing with socialites, celebrities, and politicians. But after the theater went out of business, things spiraled downward. Then in 1982 came the unthinkable when Elaine Goss was murdered in the couple's home in the Meyerland neighborhood of Houston. But it would be far from the last slaying of someone close to Dean Goss, and many, perhaps unfairly, began calling him by a different nickname, “The Bluebeard of Houston.”You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcastThe Houston Press, The Houston Chronicle, The Austin Statesman, kvue.com, and court documents were used as sources for this episode.#JusticeForElaineGoss #DeanGoss #BlueBeard #Houston #HoustonTX #HarrisCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #Murder #UnsolvedMysteries #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime

Married 36 years, Larry & Jackie Sklar are empty-nesters who live on a corner lot in Meyerland. It's a Houston neighborhood notorious for flooding. In 2017, as Harvey began to dump inch after inch of rain, Meyerland flooded- but the Sklar's home did not. I 100% think it was divine intervention. After hearing their conversation, you may too - because what happened during those first hours of that historic flood was orchestrated by something much greater than any of us. This is the never-before-told story of how one couple helped the very first people pulled from flood waters. It's the story of kindness, compassion and community. It's the living, breathing example of "love thy neighbor as thy self." It's #HoustonStrong
