Recently, an inspector told me a classic horror story. A couple wanted him to inspect a new home they were considering. When he arrived in the subdivision, he noticed the ground level in certain parts of the development was extremely low. He also found that this particular subdivision was in an area susceptible to sinkholes. After checking the house that the couple had chosen, plus several of the San Diego homes other than the model home, the inspector found that many of the slabs of concrete that had been poured on the ground had cracks in them. This inspector advised the couple not to purchase any house in this specific geographic area, because of the possibility of sinkholes. Six months later, the developer was sued by new homeowners, because, just as the inspector had predicted, the ground was not stable and many of the San Diego homes were sinking beyond the point of repair.
