What Causes Sinkholes in Lake City
Columbia County's karst limestone dissolves unevenly over time, and the Florida Geological Survey documents reported sinkhole events across the county, Lake City included.
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.
