En toda Florida, el suelo está formado por piedra caliza. Esta roca sedimentaria puede erosionarse con el tiempo debido al contacto con los ácidos que se encuentran en el agua de lluvia y en los “espacios porosos” del suelo, o los espacios entre las partículas del suelo. Esta erosión hace que se formen grandes cavidades en el suelo, a menudo denominadas sumideros. Si bien algunas áreas de Florida experimentan más de estas depresiones del suelo, todo el estado es susceptible a hundimientos.

Daño por sumidero
Abogados de John Bales: nuestros abogados conocen los sumideros
The sinkhole claims lawyers of John Bales Attorneys thoroughly understand Florida’s geology, as well as the causes and consequences of sinkholes. Our experienced attorneys have successfully identified, investigated, and obtained compensation for many sinkhole claims.
As a resident of Florida, you must watch for warning signs that a sinkhole may be forming. Sinkholes form for a variety of reasons, including:
- Cover-Collapse:
Sinkholes can occur when water gradually dissolves limestone near the ground’s surface.
- Cover-Subsidence:
Sand, soil, and clay filling underground cavities left by dissolved limestone can cause sinkholes to form.
- Limestone-Collapse:
This type of sinkhole happens as a result of a limestone ceiling cavity collapse.
- Limestone-Solution: When rainwater erodes limestone, common in high-water table conditions, sinkholes can form.
