Sinkhole in Basement!!

[Carlton Wood]

Trying to renovate a 2 family house in Pittston PA. House has a sinkhole in the basement of one side of the house. Having a hard time finding a contractor to get the problem fixed. Anyone ever dealt with a sinkhole and does anyone know a contractor in Pittston PA that can help??!!

Have you spoken with the owners of neighboring properties? Chances are, if you have a sinkhole maybe they had one as well and have a contractor recommendation. Do you know whats causing the sink hole, is it a drainage issue in and around the property, maybe a broken underground sewer/water line or some unknown underlying issue with the foundation? Is the area prone to sink holes? What are the contractors actually telling you that is making it difficult to find one to work with? 

I don't know the area too well but I brokered the Planet Fitness deal in the K Mart Shopping Center about 10 years ago.
