Florida has more sink holes than any other state in the nation and many home owners become "victims" of sinkhole activity. A sink hole is a feature of Florida's natural karst topography and therefore, they are hardly avoidable. You may not be able to avoid a Florida sink hole but, you can avoid the costly repairs by selling your sink hole home. Chances are, once repaired, your sink hole home will require future repairs. If you choose to stay in your sink hole home, please do so under the advice of professionals such as engineers and a good sink hole attorney. Sink holes provide a primary gateway for rainwater to replenish subsurface groundwater and they're a very important part of the aquifer system. The Florida Aquifer supplies 95% of Florida's drinking water. Florida is a beautiful place to live however, sink hole activity, much like hurricane and tropical storm activity is something many Florida homeowners will at some point have to encounter, and recover from.

Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite. Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all rivers and lakes. Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sink holes or do lines being the most common. However, distinctive karst surface features may be completely absent where the soluble rock is mantled, such as by glacial debris, or confined by a superimposed non-soluble rock strata. Some karst regions include thousands of caves, even though evidence of caves that are big enough for human exploration is not a required characteristic of karst.
