Signs of a Sinkhole
- Cracks in your driveway, walkways, or exterior walls
- A depression or low spot forming in your yard
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or won't close right
- Sloping, sagging, or uneven floors
- Water pooling in a spot where it never used to
- An exposed or sunken area along your foundation
What Causes Sinkholes in Clearwater
Pinellas County's covered-karst limestone dissolves gradually below the surface, and when the soil above finally gives way, it can open suddenly — the classic cover-collapse sinkhole pattern documented across the county.
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.

We understand the local terrain. Clearwater's ground conditions call for a repair plan built around that reality.
Real diagnosis before any repair. A thorough evaluation to identify the actual cause before we recommend a fix.
