CNBC Interview with LRE Foundation Repair After Sinkhole Opens Under Disney-Area Resort

The sinkhole responsible for collapsing a building in the Summer Bay Resort in Clermont is just the latest among 19,000 known sinkholes in Florida, according to CNBC. They recently spoke with Paul Caldwell, president and CEO of the resort, who says that while the building was a total loss, they plan to look at other sites on the property on which to build.

Because the sinkhole might have been caused by recent heavy rain in the area, sinkhole contractors have been busy responding to calls from concerned residents.

CNBC interviewed LRE Foundation Repair, a leading sinkhole remediation company in Florida with over 25 years of experience. Frank Vitale, vice president and general manager of LRE told CNBC that they have completed over 4,500 sinkhole repairs.

The question is whether sinkholes are becoming more prevalent because of an increase in building. LRE Foundation Repair recommends that residents be aware of the signs of a possible sinkhole on their property, and to call their insurance company right away if they suspect there might be a problem. LRE can stabilize the soil to make sure the homeowner and their property are safe.
