New image added to the free Gallery: Sinkholes

Just be aware that sinkholes come in many sizes from a few feet wide to several acres in size. The larger ones may not be noticeable to the average person. Some of the larger ones may show up on a topographic map.

Fascinating, but except in relation to the structure itself (where damage is visible) it is way outside the scope. Where damage to the structure has occured due to settling only report the visible damage do not attempt to diagnose the cause.

It also pays to spend 2 minutes scanning the neighborhood you’ll be in for sinkhole activity.

I talked to one of the main geologists of Florida (Clint K) and got a lot of information on sinkholes from him, he is one of the leading experts in sinkholes. Sinkholes | Florida Department of Environmental Protection
