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 Fort Lauderdale
True collapse sinkholes are less common in the Fort Lauderdale area than in Central Florida's karst belt, but the same porous limestone can still allow gradual ground settling, which we diagnose and stabilize the same way we would a sinkhole.
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.
