Heave Protection in Devon
Heave is the opposite of subsidence — instead of the ground sinking, it swells upward, pushing foundations and floors with it. In Devon, heave commonly occurs after tree removal, when clay soils rehydrate and expand. It can also result from frost, chemical reactions, or changes in ground conditions. Heave protection involves designing foundations and structures to accommodate upward ground movement, using compressible materials, void formers, and flexible connections that allow movement without structural damage. If you're removing trees or building on clay, heave protection is essential.
