Much of the hilly area in the Bay Area is prone to slides
The main cause of sliding/earth movement is when hillsides become saturated with water, and thus become unstable. Landslides can create all kinds of problems, and severely impact property values. Landslides can threaten existing structures, damage drainage systems, fences, retaining walls, and cross property lines. They can damage driveways and roads, and create serious safety hazards.
