Tree-Related Subsidence Reports

Expertise You Can Trust

All consultants at Connick Tree Consultancy (CTC) have completed industry recognised training in regard to subsidence risk. They combine this with Arboricultural knowledge and experience to assess the indirect influence trees may be having on a property.

Understanding Tree-Related Subsidence

Tree related subsidence occurs when:

  • Soils supporting foundations undergo volumetric change due to the abstraction of water by trees

Not all subsidence is tree related, and other factors are often involved but overlooked.

What Our Consultants Assess

CTC consultants are trained to look at the available evidence such as:

  • Location and species of tree
  • Root identification
  • Level monitoring data from structural engineers
  • Bore hole samples from soil analysis reports
  • Structural surveys by building surveyors and
  • Historic, comparative data.

These technical reports are then combined with our knowledge and experience of the tree species to guide further actions to address the issue.

Who We Work With

CTC carries out tree related subsidence reports for:

  • Insurance claims
  • Property management companies
  • Homeowners and
  • Housing Associations.

We are also able to offer advice and guidance where your tree has been implemented in a subsidence claim.
