Subsidence and sink holes

Posted in: Wingate - Houston

Wingate and Forestview, we have a problem.  Our neighborhood is slowing sinking and the County and water district are just putting bandaids on the problem.

 

Is your foundation cracked ? Mine are and so are 6 of the 10 homes on my street. the dirt level at the street curb has dropped nearly 6 inches in the past year; plus what I've refilled it with.  The sidewalks are collapsing and MUD 120 has already repaired at least one sinkhole that I know of. My guess is there are more. It is time to make a stand. Our insurance companies won’t help and the last time I checked, the County couldn’t do much either. Do we have to wait until one of us loses our home?  If we all call the County and MUD 120, maybe someone will do something to help us out.  I am faced with foundation repair, interior repairs, and now possible structural repair to my home. And when you add driveway and sidewalks to that cost, well it is all a little overwhelming.
