What Causes Sinkholes in Winter Haven
Polk County's karst limestone dissolves unevenly over time — the same process that carved Winter Haven's Chain of Lakes — and it's what puts homes here at real, documented sinkhole risk.
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.
