Mine Subsidence is caused when old mines collapse and the ground shifts, sometimes causing buildings, roads, or land to collapse. The signs of mine subsidence include cracks in the foundation, sloping floors or ceilings, doors that will not close easily and are often jammed open, buckling walls, floors, or ceilings.
Mine Subsidence is especially prevalent in areas where underground mining was once popular. The HazardHub API provides instant access to indications of a property’s risk of Mine Subsidence risk.
