sinkhole insurance
 

I just got sinkhole insurance through AAA. New homes only $500 deductible. Or 2% the difference in price was minimal believe it or not. I got the $500.

Why are the new homes easier to get coverage than resales? Have they built the new homes with sinkholes in mind, and built them up so maybe they are safer?

Wondering if sinkholes is reason enough to not come to TV, had planned it in the next 4 years. Now I am scared! Any suggestions, ideas, help? Thanks so much.

If you won't come to TV because of sinkholes, then don't come to Florida. The geology is statewide.

Dunedin, one homeowner had been working with insurance 2 years
 

Unless I missed it I did not notice or hear anywhere that one of the home owners in Dunedin had been in negotiations with his insurance carrier trying to get repairs for 2 years or so before the recent cave in.

The owner of one of the condemned homes says there were signs two years ago that a sinkhole was growing underneath his house

Can't imagine the fear of getting up and seeing your home falling into a hugh hole, and rushing to get your family and belongings out. I sure wish the homeowners the best in getting their lives back together.

I just dropped our grandson off at his home and it's a neighboring community to where we live. There was a detour and a road was closed. It was a sink hole in the road. There have been so many sink holes in this area there is a bar called The Sink Hole. We're in PA.

I can't imagine having your home sucked up and disappear with all your belongings. The reality is there are sink holes in many states, there are probably areas that have sink holes yet to be determined, and that can't determine how or where we live. I refuse to live in a bubble. Life is simply too short.

Ya'll in Sinking Valley, PA?
