The recent heat wave could cause problems for homeowners whose properties are at risk of subsidence damage.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) has warned homeowners to look out for cracks, as hot weather can increase subsidence damage.
Rics professional information officer John Sparkes said: "In light of the current heat wave we, like the insurance companies, are expecting to see a rise in the incidence of subsidence."
However the ABI said it said it was not expecting an increase in claims this year.
A spokesman said: "Don't be alarmed. Cracks can appear for a number of reasons. It doesn't mean you have got severe structural damage.
"It is not something we are concerned about at the minute. We don't anticipate any significant increase in claims and we are certainly not concerned about it."
