#sinkhole101 According to Florida law, your insurance company is required to cover damage related to sinkhole activity. They are required to send a geologist or geotechnical engineer to conduct testing at your property to determine whether or not a sinkhole is present. Testing usually takes several days which may be spread out over the course of several weeks. Initial testing may consist of GPR (ground penetrating radar) and ER (electrical resistivity) studies to detect anomalies under the ground. Later, SPT (standard penetration testing) may be conducted, in which a drilling rig is used to bore a hole into the earth. If sinkhole activity is detected, your insurance company will solicit repair estimates. Hdg Sinkhole Repair 1 888 611 (SINK)
