How Are Sinkholes Fixed?
Sinkhole repair methods vary depending on the location, size, and cause of the sinkhole. Common techniques include:
Compaction grouting – injecting grout into weak soil layers to stabilize the ground.
Concrete plugs – used in larger or deeper sinkholes
Excavation and replacement – removing loose soil and replacing it with compacted fill.
Drainage improvements – redirecting water to prevent soil erosion.
Sinkhole Remediation Methods
Our sinkhole specialists craft a customized solution to the sinkhole you are facing. For example, a driveway sinkhole may need excavation and reinforcement, while a sinkhole in a yard might be stabilized with just soil filling and compaction. Concrete sinkholes or those near seawalls on the other hand often require structural reinforcement in addition to soil filling and compaction.
How Long Does It Take to Fix a Sinkhole?
The time required to fix a sinkhole depends on its size and complexity. Small sinkholes in yards may be filled in a single day for example, while sinkholes causing structural damage can take weeks to repair due to the need for engineering and heavy equipment.
How Much Does Sinkhole Repair Cost?
Costs for sinkhole damage repair can range widely. Small sinkholes in landscaping typically cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while driveway or concrete sinkholes are usually more expensive, averaging between $3,500 and $10,000 depending on depth and the materials needed. Sinkholes that affect structures or seawalls are the most costly, with prices often starting at $10,000 and reaching $30,000 or more for extensive remediation projects.
Are Sinkholes Covered by Insurance?
Coverage for sinkhole damage depends on your insurance policy and state regulations. Some policies include coverage for “catastrophic ground collapse,” but may not cover all causes of a sinkhole. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether sinkhole repair will be covered under your plan.
