Why Southend-on-Sea Properties Are at Risk

Southend's coastal location and marine clay subsoils create unique ground engineering challenges. Properties along the seafront and in older parts of town are especially vulnerable.

Marine clay and London clay predominate in the Southend area, combined with sandy deposits near the coast that can lead to ground water issues.
