If a geotechnical related problem is resolved quickly after its initial detection, potentially expensive remedial works can be avoided down the track. Many Geotechnical related issues become apparent after heavy rainfall or after a prolonged change in the local climate. Some of the indicators of potential Geotechnical issues include:1.Any sign of ground movement.2. New cracking appearing in walls or footings. 3. Small cracks or holes appearing in the land surface4. Movement in retaining walls.5. If an established tree begins to tilt.6. A change in the usual direction or intensity of  a creek or other surface flow during heavy rainfall.7. A change in the direction or in the volume of ground water seepage.If you notice any of these issues on or near your property, we recommend you engage a Geotechnical Engineer to visit the property and assess the issue.
