520 |a The Second Edition is being published to reflect current practice. Technically there has been a substantial reduction in the use of underpinning with greater consideration being given to less disruptive means of stabilising affected properties, e.g. tree management. It has recently been shown that trees and other large vegetation on clay subsoil are responsible for over 65% of all instances of subsidence damage to domestic properties. Consequently the new edition contains a chapter dedicated to trees and tree management. Extra advice also includes appendices on the Association of British Insurers Domestic Subsidence Agreement and their Tree Root Claims Agreement, and information on Building Regulations. --  |c Provided by publisher.
