Post Sinkhole In Sabal Chase

According to an article in the on-line news, a sinkhole opened up on the Homer Ave cul-de-sac in Sabal Chase Tuesday afternoon. The hole is estimated to be 8 feet wide by 8 feet long and 20 feet deep. It is situated in the front lawn, just off the street and partially under the driveway, although the concrete has not given way yet.

The homeowner left home earlier in the day, but was alerted of the sinkhole by community watch. They are waiting for a repair crew to show up. They are also waiting to hear if their insurance will cover the costs to repair the hole.

A neighbor said that another sinkhole had been filled in a few years ago in that same area.
