What Causes Sinkholes in Lake Placid
Lake Placid's deep sandy ridge soil drains fast after rain but shifts over the limestone below, which can settle unevenly and open a sinkhole under a home's foundation.
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.
