Not this bad... yet



I have these in my backyard. Still haven't been able to identify the cause, but every month I have to buy dirt to fill these. They are all over my yard, and very apparent in the walkway going back to my shed. They give way when you walk on them (sometimes after a good rain), and I have gone in up to my waist in one. I can't seem to find a water path that might be taking the dirt, all I know is that an 8' painters pole will go all the way in, and a garden hose never fills it up.
o far my foundation is unaffected, but at least three houses on my street have had major repair needed after a large rain. Anyone know if there is a solution to this?

Don't want anything like this to happen...

Have you had any weird lightening storms with no thunder lately?
If so, better run! They're coming.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you cannot actually fill a sinkhole, since they will reform from what ever means that formed them in the first place, unless that issue is resolved.

That's how it starts then it turns into this

Dr. Pepper can for reference??? I drove through Wink last week and that hole looks bigger than the whole town!

Just pick up your jeep from the back end, hang it, turn your new lights on and I'm sure you'll be able to see how deep them holes are.

I have been wanting to mount a winch on the rear.

Probably is and there is a second one out there that is about the same size and predicting a 3rd in the future.

Given the lack of any real solutions, I would try a few bags of Quikrete on the chance that you plug it up like a toilet full of toilet paper.
