What is a Sinkhole?
Imagine that a large boulder or rock is hidden under the soil right in front of your house. The rock eventually erodes due to the groundwater flowing across it. This creates a sinkhole. As the rock begins to erode away, it leaves behind an empty space. As soil falls into the void, the area will become a sinkhole over time.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
How Do Sinkholes Form in Murfreesboro, TN?
Much of the bedrock in Tennessee contains soluble limestone or dolostone. This natural combination, combined with the cycles of heavy rainfalls and droughts, can lead to sinkhole formation. Sinkholes can be caused by natural features in the karst region, as well as poor drainage planning and improper grading.
Sinkhole Warning Signs
These are signs that sinkholes could be a problem on your property. A growing sinkhole could cause trees and fence posts to tip over, depressions in the ground, or cracks that weren't there before. If you notice new cracks in foundations or sudden appearances of a hole in the ground, then these are key indicators of a potential sinkhole.
How We Repair Sinkholes
When you need help from our sinkhole repair professionals, we often perform an inverted cone filter repair. To expose the hole in the bedrock, we first need to perform a sinkhole inspection and cost estimate on your Murfreesboro property. After that, we excavate the sinkhole. We then carefully pack it with appropriate-sized rocks. Afterward, the excavated area is lined with non-governmental geotextile material.
After that step, we fill the sinkhole with #57 clean gravel to near ground level and pack it down. The geotextile fabric is folded over the gravel, and the soil from the excavation is used to fill the hole to the top. There are other solutions we may consider that could be used to redirect water away from the area.
