Subsidence can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare
It causes structural damage that not only affects the integrity of your home but also its value. If you’re a homeowner in Norwich, understanding subsidence and knowing how to handle it can save you time, stress, and money. At Subsidence Claims, we specialize in helping Norwich homeowners navigate the complexities of subsidence damage claims.
What is Subsidence?
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath your home sinks, causing the foundations to shift and crack. This can result from various factors, including:
- Soil Type: Norwich, like many parts of the UK, has areas of clay soil which can shrink and expand with weather conditions.
- Tree Roots: Large trees and shrubs close to your home can draw moisture from the soil, exacerbating subsidence.
- Water Leaks: Broken pipes and drainage issues can wash away or soften the soil under your home.
Signs of Subsidence
If you notice any of the following signs, it’s crucial to act quickly:
- Cracks in walls, especially around doors and windows
- Doors and windows that stick or do not close properly
- Sloping floors
- Gaps appearing between walls and ceilings or floors

Norwich case studies that speak volumes
Our panel solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with subsidence claims, and their success stories highlight the importance of expert legal support.
A Battle of Stability
Imagine submitting a claim only for the insurer to drag their feet for six years, all while insisting your property merely needs a fresh coat of paint. This was the reality for one homeowner who, upon refusal to settle for less, partnered with our panel solicitors.
Through legal action and undeniable expert evidence, the homeowner saw justice as the insurer was compelled to pay over £200,000 for necessary demolition and reconstruction.
Root Barrier Resistance
Another homeowner faced acknowledgment of their subsidence issue by their insurer but was met with a cost-cutting solution—a root barrier.
Expert advice revealed the true necessity of underpinning, a stance the insurer refused to accept until legal proceedings forced their hand, resulting in a payout exceeding £300,000.
