Subsidence occurs when the ground underneath your home or foundation moves and puts strain on the structural integrity of the building. Usually, the ground has collapsed or sunken lower unevenly which results in additional strain being put on certain areas of your home as well as shifting any underground infrastructure such as your drainage system. Factors such as weather, surrounding trees and plants, local mining or excavation activity can also effect the ground underneath your property. Another major cause of subsidence can be a leaking drain or water mains as the excess water softens and compacts the soil in the surrounding area.
If you’ve recently had a major drain leak, live in a drought-prone area or have a lot of trees and plants surrounding your home and you start to notice large cracks in your walls, foundation and other concreate or brick surfaces then that is a strong sign that you should consider having a subsidence investigation performed. Other signs of subsidence include doors and windows jamming or sticking because their frames have moved or warped as well as wallpaper becoming crinkled as the surfaces below it shifts.

Frequently asked questions

leakless plumbing Images
We would recommend if you have an electric storage hot water system to check to see if the relief valve that comes out of the top of the tank is hot. If it is hot, you will need a plumber to inspect a possible faulty tempering valve. If the system is cold, you may need a licenced electrician to investigate to see if the Thermostat or element has failed. If the system is leaking water, please contact us to investigate this further.
You should contact us to investigate this further as you may have a partially blocked drain which may need the use of a water jetter/drain machine to clear the issue. We would also recommend using a CCTV drain camera to investigate this issue.
We would recommend checking to make sure that you have no leaking taps, toilets, or hot water systems. With every tap turned off inside we would recommend checking your water meter to see if it is ticking over. If the water meter is ticking over you may have a water leak somewhere on your property. Please contact us as we may have to use our specialised leak detection equipment to try and locate and detect your water leak.
