Is Dyfed prone to ground movement?
Clay shrinkage is less of a concern in Dyfed, so other causes such as drains, poor footings or older walls are checked first. Parts of Dyfed lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. What you mostly find across Dyfed: stone cottages, Victorian terraces in Llanelli and Carmarthen, and post-war estates.
