State Aids French Homeowners Facing Clay Soil Damage
Hundreds of homes in Laxou, near Nancy, are grappling with cracks due to shifting clay soil. The state has stepped in, offering to cover up to 90% of expenses for diagnoses and preventive work in affected areas, including Meurthe-et-Moselle.
Clay soil movement, triggered by droughts and rain, is causing homes to crack and shift across France. Over ten million houses are affected, with eastern France, including Meurthe-et-Moselle, being particularly hard hit. Property owners face hefty repair costs and ongoing struggles.
The government is now funding diagnoses and preventive measures in eleven pilot departments, with Meurthe-et-Moselle among them. Owners can apply online in the coming weeks. This experimentation aims to tackle the issue, with half of France's territory now exposed to clay soil shrinkage and swelling.
The state's intervention in Meurthe-et-Moselle and other affected departments is a welcome step. It will help homeowners diagnose and prevent damage caused by clay soil movement, a growing issue across France.
