If your property is showing signs of subsidence, our experienced team is here to guide you through the process of making a successful insurance claim, ensuring you get the support and compensation you deserve.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence is the gradual sinking or settling of the ground beneath your property, often causing structural damage. Common signs of subsidence include:
- Cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings, particularly around doors and windows.
- Doors and windows sticking or not closing properly.
- Gaps appearing between walls and ceilings or floors.
- Sloping or uneven floors.
Causes of Subsidence in Worthing
Subsidence can occur due to various factors, and understanding the root cause is crucial for a successful claim. In Worthing, common causes include:
- Soil Composition: Worthing’s clay-rich soil is prone to shrinkage during dry spells, leading to ground movement.
- Tree Roots: Large trees and vegetation near properties can extract significant amounts of moisture from the soil, exacerbating subsidence.
- Leaking Drains or Pipes: Water leaks can wash away soil, creating voids and causing the ground to sink.
