Frequently asked questions
How do sinkholes actually form here?
Water moving through the limestone dissolves it and creates a void, and the sand above eventually washes down into that void. The surface holds until it cannot, which is why collapse looks sudden even though the process underneath has been running for a long time.
Can a plumbing leak contribute to that?
It can. A persistent leak delivers a concentrated stream to one spot for months, which is exactly the condition that moves sand downward into voids and dissolves rock faster. It is one of the reasons an under-slab leak here is more consequential than the water loss alone.
Ten inches in a month. Where does it go on sandy soil?
Less far than you would expect. Sand drains quickly but the water table is close to the surface, so the available storage is shallow and fills fast. Once it does, the ground behaves like something far tighter and the remainder of the wet season simply stands.
