The earth beneath your home — what it is, how it affects you, and what can be done about it.
The basics
Geopathic stress refers to the natural radiation that rises through the earth and becomes distorted by underground features — water streams, geological fault lines, mineral concentrations and underground cavities. This distorted energy field is believed to affect the health and wellbeing of people who spend prolonged time directly above it.
The word comes from the Greek: geo (earth) and pathos (suffering). It has been studied in building biology for decades, with a substantial body of practitioner experience supporting its relevance to human health.
01
The most common cause — particularly where streams cross or change direction.
02
Fractures in bedrock create zones of distorted earth energy running across a property.
03
Certain minerals, underground cavities and man-made tunnels can amplify geopathic zones.
Effects are most noticeable where we spend long stationary periods — particularly in bed:
Daniel uses professional dowsing techniques trained under Roy Riggs BSc. Stress lines are mapped on your floor plan as part of the written report. Underground water detection is included in every survey as standard.
The most effective solution is often the simplest — moving where you sleep by even a metre can step you out of the zone. Where that isn't possible, proportionate mitigation options are discussed.
Unique to us
Underground water detection is included in every Purely Clear Space home survey as standard — something most surveyors do not offer.
