There was two sink holes on Cane Garden Jacaranda nine 5th Hole left side, two homes side-by-side in the Village of Pennecamp. I played golf and there was yellow ribbon around both lots. A helicopter from one the Orlando stations was overhead for almost two days with a camera. I lived a mile away and I could hear the helicopter anytime I went outside. They filled them in with cement and dirt and heard no more after that about a problem. That was about 2015 I would guess. As I wrote above when I inquired two years, Progressive (ASI) doesn't write policies with sink hole, so you can get insurance but won't cover sink holes. In the OPs case, it sounds like they won't even write any if they know there was one in the area. Move on to another company like I did.
