Sinkhole Property Decline Continues in Hernando County

by | Nov 3, 2014

Hernando County continues to experience a decline in sinkhole properties as reported by the local property appraiser’s office. This decline in sinkhole activity is also positively affecting home values. The county is continuing to be optimistic that this trend will continue and says that this is the best news since 2000 when they originally started tracking sinkhole activity in Hernando County. Thanks to recent sinkhole legislation, more homeowners are actually repairing the sinkholes instead of pocketing the money as well. If you are looking for a reputable sinkhole repair contractor, contact Helicon today at 844-HELICON.
