What is Clayboard used for?
Clayboard is a type of hardboard with a clay and glue covering that is often used by artists who paint with acrylic and watercolor. It is a sturdy panel that allows artists to combine translucent and opaque painting techniques with etching.
Is heave worse than subsidence?
Heave is likely to be progressive, as the clay will take up moisture following tree removal until it finds a new equilibrium. This can result in upward movement of foundations over a number of years with the damage resulting to the buildings often being substantially more severe than that resulting from subsidence.
How much does subsidence devalue a property?
