Sinkhole Remediation

Common signs include: cracking that appears suddenly or widens over time, diagonal cracks from corners of windows and doors, stair-step cracks in block walls, doors and windows that won't operate properly, sagging or sloping floors, visible depressions in the yard, and — for homes with wells — suddenly turbid or discolored water. None of these individually guarantees sinkhole activity, but any combination warrants professional assessment.

Injection points are drilled through the concrete slab or around the foundation perimeter at calculated spacing. A pump forces cementitious grout under pressure through each injection port. The grout fills subsurface voids and compacts loose soil, creating a stable dense mass beneath the structure. The injection points are then patched.

Florida homeowner's policies are required to offer sinkhole coverage. Most comprehensive policies include it. If your policy includes sinkhole or catastrophic ground cover collapse coverage, report the damage promptly. Your insurer will commission a geotechnical investigation. MKC works with your insurer's process and documents everything for your claim.

You have the right to an independent engineering assessment. If our PE's evaluation supports the presence of sinkhole activity and the insurer's investigation was inadequate, that documentation forms the basis for an appeal or dispute. We've provided independent assessments that reversed initial denials.
