Was the house condemned and ordered vacated ? That is one of the criteria that must be met for Catastrophic Ground Collapse to pay anything
Below is from
Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse Coverage
Catastrophic ground cover collapse, on the other hand, covers only a small portion of damages caused by sinkhole activity. Under Florida law, catastrophic ground cover collapse includes geological activity resulting in the following:
- Abrupt loss of ground cover
- A depression in the ground clearly visible to the naked eye
- Structural damage to the building, including the foundation
- Government condemnation of the insured structure and an order to vacate the premises
By the express terms of the coverage, catastrophic ground cover collapse only covers damages when the insured property is condemned by a governmental agency and ordered vacated.
