Some friend has been telling me foundation issue is common in Houston area because it is building on active soil, and the extreme weather might cause foundation issues here and there.

Be careful with the foundations, the soil is sandier so it's common for shifting to occur which will affect the plumbing. 

The problem is that these bad guys are always going to exist, it's like trying to kill ants during a really hot/dry season, there are just more and more of them, and while we need to stand up to them to a certain extent, I personally don't want to give them too much of my bandwidth, I feel the world needs our talents doing the stuff we are good at.
