Sinkholes and Foundation Issues

Sinkhole due to sewer main break

Sinkholes are a common issue in St. Louis due to the area's limestone (Karst) bedrock, which can harbor caves. Most sinkholes here result from broken sewer pipes. If a sinkhole aligns with a sewer line, contacting the sewer district or a plumber for inspection is advised to prevent further erosion . If a cave collapse is suspected, consulting a geotechnical engineer may be necessary. We can assist in determining the cause and the best solutions.
