Subsidence is downward movement of the ground supporting the building, most commonly caused by:

• the shrinkage of clay subsoil following long spells of dry weather
• trees and other vegetation which extract moisture from the soil causing it to shrink
• leaking drains, which wash away the subsoil below foundations
• mining activity

Trace and Access of water or oil leaks relates to the cover needed for the costs involved in finding the source of an escape of water or leakage of oil.

You can pay by debit and credit card or by monthly or annual direct debit at no extra charge.
