Building subsidence can be a traumatic experience for any home owner as they watch what is often the largest financial investment of their life crack around them. Trees can be implicated in a minority of subsidence events but there are many other possible causes to be considered before trees can be justifiably blamed for the damage. Because of this, any subsidence event must initially be investigated by a Structural Engineer who has the knowledge and experience necessary to consider a far wider range of possible causes than just trees.

However, if trees are implicated, Mark Carter can carry out a preliminary investigation using the engineers report and data gathered from site to identify those trees most likely to be responsible and to make recommendations that will reduce their influence on the subsidence event.
