Why install Irrigation?

Most sinkholes in Georgia occur where debris such as trash, stumps, tree branches and other building materials were buried during a construction project. Over time, the debris decays, leaving an empty space under the ground.  Hidden under a layer of soil, this space goes unnoticed until it finally caves in, leaving in a sunken area, crack or hole in the landscape.

​

Less commonly, sinkholes in Georgia may be caused by broken water pipes, cisterns or disturbance of the soil (by digging, drilling, soil removal), vibrations caused by traffic or mine- blasting.   Underground water can form one as well.
