Residential Sinkhole Damage

Sinkholes result from water seeping into the rock layers beneath the surface of the ground. The underlying rock dissolves in the water eventually eating away the ground’s ability to support itself.  Often sinkholes are not visible until the surface land gives way creating a collapsed area where the underlying rock dissolved.  Some signs that a sinkhole may be affecting your house are: cracks in your ceilings or walls; separations at corners, doors, or windows; cracks in your home’s foundation, sidewalk, or driveway; and floors that are no longer level.  Florida has one of the highest rates of sinkhole occurrences in the United States.  

Properly assessing the damage caused by a sinkhole, and whether a sinkhole is actually causing that damage, is the key to recovering the full value available under your insurance policy.  Physical damage from a sinkhole can extend into areas of your home not visible to you, such as the foundation, as well as damage to your personal property.  Sinkholes can result in serious damage to your property and it is imperative that you consult Maximum Insurance Adjusters to assist you with your claim.
