What Type of Sinkhole is Causing Damage to Your Home?
The information below gives a very brief overview of the types of Florida sinkholes that can damage your home.
If you would like additional information please contact me.

COLLAPSE SINKHOLES (Cover-collapse sinkholes)
These types of Florida sinkholes occur abruptly and are deep holes in the ground with steep sides. These sinkholes are often initiated by fluctuations in the water-table. Water levels fluctuate, the roof of the cavity is then stressed and damaged. When the water-table decreases too much, the cavity walls become unsupported. The ceiling (or top) becomes too weak to hold the heavy clay and mud (called the overburden) which causes the ceiling to collapse, hence forming the sinkhole.

SOLUTION SINKHOLES (Dissolution sinkholes)
If the overburden (mud and/or clay) is thin or absent, the surface of the limestone bedrock will become eroded from ground (or surface) water as well as wind.  A depression will naturally form over time, causing a bowl shaped indentation with chemical breakdown of the rock.

SUBSIDENCE SINKHOLES (Cover-subsidence sinkholes)
This type of Florida sinkhole will appear as a concave depression in the ground. They are a few feet in diameter and depth. Cavities in the limestone fill with clay and sand, sediments fill the depression hence, a “lake” is formed due to the accumulation of water caused by a restricted flow.

Did you know? Florida sinkholes are a natural component of Florida's landscape.

Many ponds and lakes in Florida are a result of sinkhole formation and Florida has more sinkhole homes than any place in this country. Many people believe that sinkhole damage to a house can be caused only when a large hole in the ground opens up and swallows a home. I have only seek this happen one time in all my years of doing real estate. Many times there is actually no void under the house at all. The ground is unstable due to fine sand, clay, or organic material (Mud). This causes the house foundation to be unstable. The big expense is to make sure you have no problems in the future. In many homes I see there is very little visible damage to the property. Yet the repair and stabilization of a damaged sinkhole house can run over $150,000.00. This is due to the amount of repair necessary to prevent future instability. The insurance companies (some times with the help of a good sinkhole lawyer) will pay off a homeowner's insurance policy to there limits of the policy. It is cheaper for them to do that then repair the sinkhole damaged house and risk more expense after the repairs are done. Often, the house with the sinkhole damage will continue to shift and crack long after the sinkhole repair been done. This may be due to the pressure under ground from to much concrete pumped under the Damaged sinkhole house.

Florida Sinkholes, Sinkhole Homes, Lawyers & Insurance Companies
Insurance companies (often with the help of a good Florida sinkhole lawyer) will pay off a homeowner’s insurance policy to the limits of the policy. It is cheaper for them to do that then to repair the damaged sinkhole house than to risk more expense after the repairs are completed. Many times the house that has incurred damage from a sinkhole will continue to shift and crack after the sinkhole repair has been done. This may be due to the pressure underground and due to an excess of concrete that was pumped under the damaged sinkhole house. If you have received a settlement from the insurance company and your damaged sinkhole home is located in Pasco or Hernando County, please let me know.

Sinkhole Lawyers vs. Insurance Company
If you feel that your insurance company is not living up to their obligations, please contact me. Many insurance companies are failing to honor submitted claims for Florida sinkhole damaged homes stating that the damage is due to soil settling,(not covered by insurance) and not due to a "valid" Florida sinkhole. The insurance company will often hire engineers that make determinations favorable to their best interest and unfavorable to the homeowner that is living the nightmare of property damage caused by a sinkhole. The last thing a homeowner needs is to be taken advantage of and it is possible that a reputable sinkhole attorney can get you more money for your sinkhole damaged home.
