Florida sinkholes: The entire state of Florida sits on top of thousands of feet of limestone. Our Limestone base is a porous rock which can crack, break and dissolve. The most significant factor in the development of sinkholes is the dissolution of the limestone underlying Florida by acidic waters.

What happens? As water moves through the soil, it becomes more acidic as it reacts with living and decaying plant matter. When the water reaches the limestone base, it slowly begins to dissolve the rock and creates voids and cavities. The soil resting on top of the limestone then collapses or subsides and causes sinkholes.

Q. What are the possible symptoms of sinkhole activity in Florida?

A. There are many possible symptoms of sinkhole activity. The most common to look for are:
• Cracks forming in the walls
• Obvious low areas on your property
• Mildew or wet areas around the foundation
• Leaks in the ceiling and roof
• Cracks in the flooring (tile, shower stalls, etc.)
