Sinkholes are more common in some parts of the U.S. but they can happen anywhere.
Any number of factors can cause them from natural phenomenon to disintegrating stumps or debris buried by developers. The next time it rains, look for pools of water on your property that you never noticed before. That could indicate the ground below is giving way. Some other sinkhole signs include:
• Windows or doors are suddenly harder to open.
• Foundation cracks – especially in a stair step pattern.
• Vegetation is suddenly dying in one area
Sinkholes come in all sizes. Smaller sinkholes, less than a few feet across, can be filled with sand or soil. Keep your eye on it. If it continues to grow, or is larger than a few feet, call in an expert.
