Property Issues: Subsidence

Subsidence is most evident after the winter rains when the land adjacent to the property moves due to poor land management and insufficient drainage.

Minor Subsidence Issues

Minor cracks which don't affect the structural integrity of your home can often just be filled in and painted over and the evidence removed. More serious cracks which would have an impact on the structure may result in walls needing to be re-pointed and repaired with metal fixings.

Some of the effects of subsidence is just a case of the property settling over a number of years into the land and the issues do not deteriorate further. These minor defects can be dressed and rectified without further issues appearing.
