Dealing with leaning walls

How to deal with leaning walls

We are often approached by dierctors of HOAs and

bodies corporate as to whether walls that are

leaning are deemed claimable events or not.

In most circumstances, leaning walls occur over time

due to various factors such as soil movement, prolonged

exposure to water due to poor drainage, tree roots,

structural overloading, ground subsidence, construction

flaws and vibrations.

As can be seen, these would normally be associated with

causes which manifest and cause damage over time.

Thus, in most cases, insurers will not admit such claims.
