We have heard that Sutton Coldfield residential property built on clay soil can experience problems. What should we expect a Property Survey to include, and will the Surveyor advise on upkeep?
Subsidence is often the result of unseen, subterranean causes, including clay soil. Specific problems include movement of clay soil layers resulting from changes in their water content, capable of irreparably damaging a home if untreated. Clay soil is naturally lower in volume, and will compact over several months in the case of new-builds. This settlement is predictable and necessary - the real concern is contraction in clay soil caused by changes in the local water table. .
If present, expansive clay soil can put lateral pressure on a Sutton Coldfield home's foundations, leading to bowing, cracks and severe structural damage. There is a real benefit in booking a Sutton Coldfield surveyor to carry out your Property Survey, familiar with local soil composition, and who has witnessed the effects first-hand.

Evidence may not be easy to find, dust mites make they habitation in furnishings and bedding, and are a common source of allergies.
