SUBSIDENCE / SLIPPING / SLUMPING NOTEDSUBSIDENCE / SLIPPING / SLUMPING NOTED: The complete evaluation of site conditions requires site maps and area geological surveys not available to most real estate inspectors. This item is marked if the inspector sees signs evidenced by cracks, slumps, slides, larger sunken areas, etc. on and around the property or in the immediate vicinity Seldom will the inspector be able to ascertain the cause of any subsidence. In some cases the cause may be leaky underground water pipes, trench settlement or some other excavation backfill settlement See Fig. 0040. The inspection process is an initial survey designed to bring forth information which may lead to the need of further studies by specialists such as Geologists, Soils engineers, Structural engineers, Leak Detection Companies, etc. It is recommended that you refer this situation to a Geologist or Soils Engineer for further evaluation.
