A note regarding Subsidence

Subsidence is the movement or failure of an existing building’s foundations and is generally covered in your buildings insurance policy. There are a number of possible causes. Accurate diagnoses of the problem and establishing the cause is essential.
BDI have extensive experience of subsidence and foundation problems. We undertake inspections and arrange for site investigations to establish ground conditions and foundation arrangements. Repairs to rectify the problem can range from simply repairing a leaking drain or removing a tree, to extensive and costly underpinning and foundation improvements.
