Florida Sinkhole Insurance Home
and Property Repairs
Should you have a sinkhole repairs insurance claim, you may feel as if the earth is trying to swallow you whole. Once you find what you think may be evidence of damage caused by a sinkhole, call your insurer. They will send an adjuster to inspect the damage and determine if further testing for sinkhole activity is necessary. Should it be necessary to test further the insurer will retain a professional geo-technical engineering firm.
You may have to wait a month or more for the results of the testing. A positive test result may mean that the insurance company will request bids from several companies to repair the damage.
How Can You Help With My Sinkhole Home Repairs Claim?
An insurance claim for sinkhole damages can be tricky and the insurance companies won't want to pay, because ground repairs can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! That's a large chunk of change! And Repairs to your property can be done two different ways – one less expensive than the other:
- Grouting alone – grouting alone does NOT always fix your home.
- Grouting and Underpinning – while not a guarantee of complete stability, this will make sure your home is returned as near as possible to its original condition of stability.
If your insurer is dragging their feet about getting things done, Wells Law Group can help make sure that the companies chosen to provide repair estimates are not "in the pocket" of your insurance company.
