Properties in Welwyn Garden City can be built from interlocking clay tiles from Belgium. Home surveyors will look closely at evidence of damp resulting from damaged tiles because they are expensive to fix Roofers frequently don't have trained staff to handle issues with this type of roofing construction.
Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some clay soils are problematic. If conditions are too wet, the expanding clay soil can effectively 'heave' the property out of the ground! During a Welwyn Garden City Home Survey, the Surveyor will remain vigilant for any defects associated with clay soil. Despite these problems, clay soil is a very suitable material for brick manufacture.
