Get Help with your Sinkhole Damage Claim from Trusted Public Adjusters

Sinkholes are a serious issue in Florida, caused by heavy rainfall eroding the limestone foundation beneath the soil. While small cracks or settling may seem minor, they can be early warning signs of much larger structural problems. When left unchecked, sinkholes can cause significant property damage, threaten safety, and leave homeowners facing overwhelming repair costs.

If you suspect sinkhole activity on your property, it’s critical to act quickly. At Hunter Claims, our specialists conduct thorough inspections, document all evidence, and work directly with your insurance company to secure the compensation you need for repairs and restoration. With our expertise, you won’t have to face the claims process alone, we’ll fight to ensure your home and your future are protected.

Tips For Determining Sinkhole Activity On Your Property

Sinkhole damage isn’t always obvious, and insurance adjusters may underestimate or deny your claim if signs aren’t clear. Use these tips to recognize potential sinkhole activity and protect your claim before it’s too late. With that in mind, follow these tips to keep your claim on-track if you’re not quite ready to hire a public adjuster:

Depressions or holes in your yard

Cracks, separations and nail protrusions to interior walls and ceilings

Cracks may appear on walls in a diagonal or “stair step” pattern – most often exterior walls

Doors or windows that won’t open or shut properly

Cracks along pool decks and patios

Cracked, broken or hollow-sounding floor tiles

Uneven floors or pavement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have sinkhole activity?

There are many signs, but none of them are definitive proof without getting a professional consultation. Physical signs to your home are a good indication, such as cracks to exterior stucco and cinder blocks, cracks to windows sills and cracks to patio areas, drive ways and garage floors.

What should I do if I think I have sinkhole activity?

Call our office immediately to start the process of getting an evaluation and submitting an insurance claim. Do not wait to take action if you suspect sinkhole activity.

Will I be able to get coverage at a future point?

You may be able to get future coverage depending on which county you reside in, whether or not it is cost-prohibitive or if insurance companies are still offering coverage.

Will my property value decrease after reporting a claim, even if there is not actually sinkhole activity?

No, your property value will not decrease for reporting a claim if it’s determined there is not actual sinkhole activity.

If I do have sinkhole activity, will my property value be negatively affected?

Your property value may change depending on the level of sinkhole activity unless your property is completely restored to its pre-loss condition.

Will my insurance premiums increase drastically?

Most homeowners’ insurance premiums will increase if sinkhole coverage is an elected peril.

What will happen if my insurance company denies my insurance claim?

Contact us immediately if your insurance provider denies your claim. We will work to determine if your provider unjustly denied your claim and what steps can be taken next.

What if sinkhole activity coverage is no longer provided in my policy?

Unfortunately, if a sinkhole coverage option is not provided, you will not have coverage from that insurance provider unless you experience catastrophic damage to your home, such as it falling into a hole (collapse sinkhole).

If I do have sinkhole activity, how much will it cost to have it repaired?

Cost always depends on the extent of the damage. We recommend getting at least three restoration quotes before making a decision with how to proceed.
