Here is what will happen...probably, There will be a company that does such things pour "grout" into the hole. My guess "grout" is a good deal like concrete. If the home has been condemned (too risky to inhabit) then the insurance will cover the costs.

There are some that say that a repaired sinkhole is probably safe, maybe safer than what is unknown.

There was a big mess some years ago where many Florida homeowners used sinkhole insurance fraudulently for cracks and settling that was not due to sinkholes and it burdened the insurance companies to the point that sinkhole insurance was no longer offered. That has since changed.

This is at least my summary of what I have heard and remembered. Sinkholes are scary. Rumors abound.
