What Causes Sinkholes in Alma
Alma's sandy coastal-plain soil shifts and settles under a home's foundation more than denser soil, especially after heavy South Georgia rain — a settling risk distinct from classic limestone sinkholes but one we diagnose and repair with the same methods.
How We Fix Sinkholes
Depending on what our evaluation finds, we use compaction grouting — pumping a cement-and-grout mixture deep into the soil to fill voids and stabilize the ground — or void filling, which lifts and supports affected concrete with structural polyurethane foam. Both methods are done with a real diagnosis first, not guesswork.
