Sink hole!
 
In Buttonwood off Arrobes Place in the Beecher Path area.

When you get a lot of rain it happens. Did it harm the home?

Is it under a house, in the yard, or in the street? Tell us more.

At the corner of a house and starting to go under and the neighbor's house is quite close.

Yikes, are the police there evacuating the area?

raynan 04-19-2014 04:05 PM

I haven't been over there yet. Got a phone call from someone in that neighborhood with a pix in the email. I'll check it out later on our way out and report back.

Can someone post a pic?

Bogie Shooter 04-19-2014 04:39 PM

Wouldn't be best if people stayed away from the scene??

Wonder if it is near the retention pond on Chalmer Terrace. They often are.

Does that house have a foundation? Where are the footings? I really know nothing about sink holes, did they suck in the foundation?

This is the "Catastrophic Ground Collapse" in your homeowner insurance and usually has a $500 deductible. The home has to be declared unsafe to occupy. I think that is met for these houses.

This IS NOT what is covered in Sinkhole Insurance.
