Understanding subsidence, landslips and heave
When it comes to land shift there are three main types:
-
Subsidence is the volumetric reduction of supporting subsoil underneath a building, creating a void
-
Heave is the opposite, and is where the volume of soil under a property increases, usually caused by water pushing a building upwards
-
Landslips are often caused by gravity, and affect natural and man-made slopes
Whether the issue is caused by a natural factor, changes in the climate, other building works or something else, the team at Woodmans is here to help. Since 1962 we have offered in-depth landslip, heave and subsidence surveys in and around the Eastbourne area. Contact our team today to get to the root cause of your land changes.
Movement and settlement
​Building settlement and movement can be a worrying sight for any property owner. These cracks often indicate underlying structural issues that, if left unchecked, could lead to more significant problems. At Woodmans we specialise in identifying and addressing these concerns. Where required we can arrange site investigations, review reports and organise periodic crack width and level monitoring.
