What is landslip? | Where does landslip occur? | How can I deal with landslip? | Back to landslip

Potential landslip areas can be identified by the topography, by example considering if the slope is steeper than usual for the type of soil involved. Railway cuttings in the Croydon area, are a potential risk area. Homes at the bottom of a railway embankment may eventually be at risk from the embankment, but whoever owns the railway, has a far greater vested interest in sorting that out. Clay creep seems to occur in London Clay in the South Norwood and Upper Norwood areas.
