What Type of
Florida 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 Florida 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.
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
sinkhole 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.

Did you know?
Florida sinkholes are a natural component of Florida's
landscape. |
It is cheaper
for them to do that then repair the
Florida
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 Florida 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 Florida
sinkhole. The last thing a homeowner needs is to be taken
advantage of and it is possible that a reputable Florida
sinkhole
attorney
can get you more money for your
sinkhole damaged home.
What Florida Sellers Must Disclose
About Their Unrepaired

Florida sinkhole house on your property you are
required by law
to disclose the sink hole damage to any potential buyer. It is imperative you
deal with the Florida sinkhole house as soon as possible to prevent further structural
damage to your home. If you have not already done so, please contact your insurance company and have
them check for the needed sinkhole repairs. Have a
qualified engineer
inspect your
home. Many times it is necessary to have a lawyer represent you in dealings
with your Florida insurance company.
