If you live in Florida, especially in Spring Hill, sinkholes are a very real possibility. This means you need to check your yard and home frequently to make sure there isn’t any forming. Check your drive way for cracks and check your yard for any areas that seem to be collecting a lot of water during rainy season. Inside your home, you should start checking your windows and doors if they seem to out-of-nowhere not close properly then you should really start to look at the frame work.
