In my mind, the ground the house sits on is probably more stable now that the sink is filled, and foundation pinned verses than other areas in TV. I feel for the folks who were unfortunate enough to have this event happen.

Our friends looked at that new home, and were VERY interested....until their agent Tony Trussler disclosed that it had a repaired sinkhole, and insurance would likely be expensive. There was another seemingly good buy new home which also had a repaired sinkhole. I think that these homes are probably less likely to have a problem than any other in the area, but still hard to pull the trigger on a purchase of a home with proven sinkhole problems.
