The company that performed the inspection was called SDII - they are out of Tampa. Here's their web site: http://www.sdii-global.com/ Click on their "Services" tab at the top - looks like they've pretty much got all the bases covered if an 'expert' is what you'd be looking for!

Hope that helps!

Interesting, I payed $124.70 within my homeowners policy for sinkhole coverage without any limitations specified and no inspection required. I wonder if they might go by geological location charts to determine if an inspection is required or not?
