What Causes Sinkholes in Palmetto
Palmetto isn't in one of Florida's highest-incidence sinkhole counties, but the same limestone bedrock underlies the area, and its sandy, tidally-influenced soil can still shift in ways that mimic sinkhole damage.
How We Fix Sinkholes
Depending on what our evaluation finds, we use compaction grouting — pumping a cement-and-grout mixture deep into the soil to fill voids and stabilize the ground — or void filling, which lifts and supports affected concrete with structural polyurethane foam. Both methods are done with a real diagnosis first, not guesswork.
