Sink Hole
Just saw on Fox News about a sink hole between two houses here in TV. The news report did not give a location or village. Anyone know where it is?

Just moved in but by googling the street names it shows that Lavaca is immediately SW of Hacienda Hill Country Club. Can't comment on which Village that is though since I don't know.

Anyone have sink hole insurance coverage in their homeowners policy? How much is it?
|
The on-line news has an article on it, and also said one of the Hacienda Hill Country Club golf course retention pond was drained by several sink holes.

In insurance terms it's called a 'catastrophic ground collapse' and in 2007 Florida passed a law that all homeowners insurance policies in Florida are required to include it. Sink Hole coverage is not mandatory but must be offered. However, it covers different problems, not the one we are referring to. Sink hole coverage is more for a gradual happening such as settling and cracks in the foundation. The sudden opening of the earth is covered by the Catastrophic coverage, which we all have in our policy.

Super. Thanks for the information. I'm going to research my policy a little deeper.

I hate insurance policies. Their lawyers will argue why you are NOT covered. Sinkhole.......catastrophic ground collapse, either case, you are probably out big bucks. My insurance company, USAA, who I have used for 45 years, insures everything I own, will NOT insure my house! Now what does that tell you? Kind of tees me off.

This stuff is scary. Reading comments people are making on social media, some are saying it's Because the villages is over building and some say the water problem?? I have no experience in these fields of expertise so throw it out for comments, discussion. All I know is I'm getting a bit nervous with the AMT lately in Fla???

The good news is the probability of your home being directly impacted is very low. There are a few instances per year but that is spread over 57,000 homes. Of course, that is of little comfort if you are one of the unfortunate few. The odds are probably not all that much different than a lightning strike - there seems to be a few lightning strikes per year.

They already said yesterday his insurance appraiser was on site. If the insurance company doesn't step in now and provide professional help, they'll be buying a whole new house. Two years ago a huge sink hole opened up between two homes in Pennecamp on the fairway to Cane Garden Jacaranda hole #7. The homes appear to be fairly intact but the hole was much larger than this one. Their insurer had a company pumping in tons of concrete into the hole in no time and apparently saved the homes from further destruction.

I remember this one in Belvedere as the nice woman who rescued by dog Sport lived next door to one of the houses that had this sink hole. She moved to VA a while after that. At least, I believe this is what they are talking about here. |
Good article with some explanations.

The current sinkhole in the villages actually has two more baby sinkholes on adjoining lots. Wonder if it's one big sinkhole.
|
There has been a lot of helicopter noise today. I'm wondering if the sink hole is getting bigger? Any news reports? I don't get local news channels.

Thanks for the update!! The helicopter was just hovering over the area so I figured it had to be connected to the sink hole. Probably just getting more footage for the five o'clock news!!
|
Hacienda Hills golf course is closed now. Our a Friday tee time was cancelled.
|
Any update on the village sinkhole?
