As a sink hole develops, there will be physical changes in a home and its yard that a homeowner may start to notice over time. While it is very important to address a developing sink hole, citrus springs residents should understand that there are additional issues that may have to be addressed depending on many factors such as what type of sink hole is present, how large it is, and what are the geological conditions like around and under a home. Here are some aspects of sink holes to consider once a homeowner has discovered sink hole activity on their property.
The Possibility of More Sinkholes Developing
If a homeowner has called a professional to check if there is a sink hole on their property and there is, chances are they may be more around. This is because sink holes develop in specific geological conditions. If a neighbor has a confirmed sink hole, Citrus Springs residents should also watch their properties for sink hole activity as well. If a sink hole is not taken care of properly the first time, there is a chance that more erosion can cause the sink hole to get worse.
How is a Professional Going to Fill this Sinkhole?
There are many ways that a professional sink hole remediation company can repair a property by filling the sink hole. Citrus springs residents should know that the most common method for repairing sink holes is known as grouting. This method injects grout into areas underground that fills in any voids or cavities under the property. Another popular way professional can fix a sink hole is known as underpinning. This method is more practical with larger sink holes than the grouting method because instead of filling the hole cavity, pillars are placed in the cavity to simply add more support to the home that is sitting on the sink hole.
