What Causes Sinkholes in Coral Gables
Classic collapse sinkholes are rare in Coral Gables, but its porous limestone bedrock sits close to a shallow water table, and occasional ground settling here is more often tied to aging water infrastructure than natural karst collapse.
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.
