Subsidence

Subsidence can be catastrophic and put at risk most valuable asset. There will need to be extensive site investigations such as trial holes, soil tests, drainage tests and monitoring.

As our summers get drier and hotter and winters wetter, instances of subsidence are becoming far more frequent.

We will:

• Compile a detailed assessor’s report of all insured damages of risk address
• Obtain competitive estimates from our panel of insurance approved contractors.
• Visit the scene of 'loss'
• Assess all physical damages related to the claim
• Ensure, emergency repairs when necessary, that the property is protected against any further damages
• Where appropriate, instruct a geotechnical survey
• Provide end to end management of the claims process through to completion

UICS may also advise on the actions the claimant should take (such as installing better locks, security lights and cameras, stronger doors, etc.) before the insurance policy is renewed.
