Structural Investigation of cracking at a building in the Wolverhampton area

Structural survey of a property in Wolverhampton due to cracking that was suspectd of being casued by shrinkable clays. Prior to inspecting the property we ordered a Geology report and looked at past OS sheets to find out uses of the land over the last one hundred years. Our surveyors considered if the movement was caused by shrinkable clays or ground that is prone to collapse, poor drains, inherently inadequate foundations, failure of a retaining wall, mortar shrinkage or thermal movement.
