You can count on Claims Recovery Solutions to get the maximum possible settlement for your sinkhole damage.
Nationwide there have been over 20,000 reported cases of damage due to sinkholes just last year alone. The cost is staggering too—over $1 billion worth of damages were reported nationwide last year for this one type of insurance claim.
That means that you need to know how to protect yourself from these devastating events if you own property or live in an area prone to them.
Sinkholes are formed when water erodes soluble rocks such as limestone or dolomite. When these rocks dissolve, cavities form underground and the land above begin to collapse. Florida is known for its high number of sinkholes due to its porous soil and limestone bedrock. If you live in an area with known sinkhole activity, it is important to be aware of the signs and to contact a public adjuster as soon as possible if you suspect sinkhole damage. Possible types of sinkhole damages are:
- Foundation cracks
- Displacement of some dirt above the hole
- Veins or lines that show up underground around the sinkhole
- Water seepage at a site near a sinkhole
Sinkhole activity can lead to cracks in walls and floors, leaning trees, and in some cases, the complete collapse of a structure. It is important to have a professional evaluation of any damage caused by a sinkhole as soon as possible to ensure that it is documented correctly.
If your home or building has been damaged by a sinkhole, it is likely that your insurance company will deny your claim. Most standard homeowner insurance policies do not cover damage caused by sinkholes. If you live in an area known for the high risk of sinkholes, we recommend adding coverage for "catastrophic ground collapse" to ensure that you are covered in case of a disaster like this.
