Florida's Latest Large Sinkhole
I am not going to try to describe it. A picture is worth a thousand words.

There but for the grace of God is The Villages. The Tampa area seems to have a lot of them, as do we.

I think that would be considered a catastrophic ground collapse so it would be covered by normal property insurance.

As a sidebar the Tampa area was the impetuous for the the flurry of insurance changes on sink holes. According to reports the people in that area were filing untold number of sink hole claims that amounted to be the usual cracks found in concrete slabs. You probably have some in your home. Some of the Tampa residents filed their claims were paid and never effected repairs so insurers in Florida re-wrote the sink hole c overages and based on your premium you accepted sink hole coverage or catastrophic sink hole coverage. the aforementioned loss fits the catastrophic definition |
We just renewed our homeowner's insurance. We decided to switch to Allstate, who now offers sink hole insurance.

There was a period of time when those who bought after a certain date could get only catastrophic ground collapse coverage. But I think the Florida insurance industry figured out they had thrown out the baby with the bath water by not writing the other kind of sinkhole coverage. Considering the odds, I guess they decided to get back in the business. |
