Did you know? Florida has more sinkholes than any other state
in the nation!
Sinkholes are very prevalent and are a natural result of the geology in
the state of Florida. Basically, sinkholes occur when rain or circulating groundwater
gradually dissolves the limestone underground, thereby causing cavities or large
gaps in the limestone. Over time, the layers of sand and soil that sit on top of
the limestone fall into these spaces, thereby causing a sinkhole. Sinkholes can
be small or quite large, and they may reveal themselves at any time.
The explosive development in Florida has severely taxed our natural resources
(i.e. use of groundwater, construction of storm ponds or diversion of surface
water), as well as greatly expanded the number of homes, buildings and roads, all
of which may be susceptible to a sinkhole. It is for these numerous reasons that
sinkholes have become more readily apparent in the past few years.
