Ground Movement - Subsidence and Heave
Our team handle Property Damage claims throughout the UK including damage caused by ground movement (subsidence or heave). Subsidence is the the downward movement of the ground surface and Heave is the the upward movement of the ground surface. The relationship between London Clay and tree roots is commonly an unhappy one. Shrinkage could lead to subsidence and expansion could lead to heave. Foundation depths in newer structures are designed at minimum depth but where vegetation has existed, does exist or will exist; greater depths are likely to be required. Our team understand the nature of heave and subsidence and the disruption it can cause. Predicting and controlling ground movements is often complex. We will put the right team in place to ensure all relevant information is collected, preserved and available to assess the merit of any claims.
