Subsidence Properties

This is cover against subsidence, heave and landslip. Subsidence is where the ground beneath a property gradually gives way or "subsides". Heave is the opposite of this and is where the ground rises, and landslip is where the ground moves, such as down a hill. All of these events have the potential to damage a property built on them. Initially, large cracks may begin to appear in the walls, with the worst cases resulting in structural failure.
