Inside Our Project Footprint
Structural Movement & Subsidence Investigations
We investigate for structural movement, subsidence caused by foundation failure, prescence of tree roots and defective below ground drainage. We are able to identify and recommend intrusive investigations, below ground CCTV surveys, trial pits and soil sampling for the prescence of desiccation including site monitoring to establish the correct method of stabilising the structure together with superstructural repairs and follow on decorations. In the first instance if you are concerned about structural movement, cracking and possible subsidence your first point of contact should be your buildings insurer.
