Sinkhole Reports

Personal Property/Commercial Property

LOCATION^® Sinkhole Service Reports provide the most detailed and current information in the industry related to catastrophic sinkhole collapse and sinkhole related earth movements. Sinkholes are one of the costliest, non-catastrophe perils in Florida. The service allows underwriters to assess sinkhole risk for properties in the State of Florida. 

The underlying sinkhole data is based on an exclusive collection of high-quality engineering, geotechnical, and geologic data collected during the investigation of actual sinkhole claims in the past 20 years, plus other credible sources.

The Sinkhole Service provides two scores to help underwrite sinkhole coverage. The Sinkhole Score reflects the overall sinkhole risk for the specific property address and ranges from 1 (lowest risk – no confirmed sinkholes within 10 miles) to 7 (highest risk – confirmed sinkhole at property). It also accounts for the presence of reported earth movements within one mile of the property. The Area Score identifies the number of confirmed sinkholes and reported earth movements within one mile of the property. It alerts the user of high-risk areas in which multiple sinkholes have been confirmed.
