Sticking doors and windows
Look for distorted door and window frames, which may jam or not close properly. You might also notice new gaps have appeared.
Subsidence caused by clay shrinkage
During long dry spells, clay-rich soils can shrink and pull away from your foundation, causing it to settle. This is a leading cause of subsidence.
Problems from leaking drains or poor ground
Water from broken pipes can wash away soil, creating voids beneath your home. Alternatively, the ground may have been poorly compacted when your home was originally built.

What is settlement and subsidence?
When the ground beneath your home is no longer stable and begins to sink, this is known as subsidence. This downward movement directly affects your property’s foundations, causing parts of the structure to shift and leading to significant structural problems.
