The larger the building or lot, the more testing is required. If you have a condominium complex where a sinkhole investigation is being completed, the investigation should relate in some way to the size of the building. Ordinarily, most engineering firms will conduct 3 standard penetration tests on a standard home site. Using this as a baseline, while not an exact comparison, I would expect a larger condo property to have considerably more borings on the property.

Changes in Sinkhole Laws Impacting Policyholder Rights – Part 2
The problem with the new bill is that it then places a huge monkey on the back of a policyholder. Specifically, if you, as a homeowner, want to dispute the findings of the original engineering firm, you can hire your own expert. Even if your expert does more advance testing, provides a more cohesive explanation for the damage, the insurance company gets the benefit of the doubt.

Changes in Sinkhole Laws Impacting Policyholder Rights – Part 1
The pending bill on this issue, House Bill 447 would strip this from the law, and permit insurance companies and the engineering firms they retain to determine how your home is fixed. Instead of requiring some form of input from you, the insurance company need only “provide notice†to you regarding how the home will be repaired. This process removes the homeowner from being provided an opportunity to select the methods to be used in repairing the home.
