Settlement & Subsidence
Our experienced structural engineers can perform on-site surveys to determine if your building is at risk of foundation settlement / subsidence. This survey will establish the extent of any foundation settlement / subsidence of the structure, the cause of the problem and recommended monitoring or remedial actions to prevent further structural damage.In severe cases it may be recommended to pursue underpinning as a means of mitigating structural damage. Underpinning involves the insertion of new load bearing elements, typically around the perimeter of the structure. In these cases we can provide you with detailed estimates of the cost associated with underpinning your property and can manage any Insurance Claim associated with this remedial action.
