Default Re: Soil subsidence and trees

If the trees were there before the building then the building should be engineered strong enough to withstand the subsidence ... but in saying that maybe when the tree and building were on the scene the tree was much smaller.

Problem here in Australia is insurance companies do not pay out on subsidence. It comes out of your pocket to underpin a house.
