I guess the real question that should be asked is " if I have had a sinkhole on my property repaired, is my property in more danger, less danger, or the same danger as a property that has never had a sinkhole." Now, everyone will voice an opinion on this, but it would be nice to hear from a geologist.

I think that the sales pitch would be that we've already had a sink hole and it has been repaired and the ground is now stable. The odds against having another one on this property are astronomical. In fact there might be more of a risk in buying a home that's never had a sink hole.
