Explanation of the Formation of Sink-Holes

Courtesy of Wikipedia

Sinkholes may capture surface drainage from running or standing water, but may also form in high and dry places in specific locations.

The formation of sinkholes involves natural processes of erosion^[6] or gradual removal of slightly soluble bedrock (such as limestone) by percolating water, the collapse of a cave roof, or a lowering of the water table. Sinkholes often form through the process of suffosion. Thus, for example, groundwater may dissolve the carbonate cement holding the sandstone particles together and then carry away the lax particles, gradually forming a void.

Occasionally a sinkhole may exhibit a visible opening into a cave below. In the case of exceptionally large sinkholes, such as the Minyé sinkhole in Papua New Guinea or Cedar Sink atMammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, an underground stream or river may be visible across its bottom flowing from one side to the other.

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, salt beds, or in other rocks, such as gypsum,^[7] that can be dissolved naturally by circulating ground water. Sinkholes also occur in sandstone and quartzite terrains.

As the rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground. These sinkholes can be dramatic, because the surface land usually stays intact until there is not enough support. Then, a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur.

Real Estate Property and The Making of a Sinkhole

Fox news reports, "Repair crews filled in a sinkhole that opened between two houses in a sprawling Florida retirement community.

The Villages Daily Sun reports the homes were vacant when the sinkhole, which was already under repair, expanded Saturday morning. Neighbors noticed the sinkhole was growing and alerted authorities.

Officials say crews from a Tampa firm had been working on the sinkhole for about three weeks.

District Public Safety Battalion Chief Pete Carpenter says the sinkhole opened up and expanded under the foundations of both houses. Officials blocked off traffic Saturday as crews returned to assess the situation.

Carpenter says the sinkhole was plugged by Saturday night."

For Sale by Owner: Facilitation vs. Representation

Tash Casso, MN Realtor member of the National Association of Realtors. To speak to an expert call Tash Casso at 763.569.5644.

Looking for a real estate facilitator rather than a real estate representative (aka) a realtor? Thinking about going the for sale by owner route? Agents refer to these sellers as FSBO's. If you are not sold on the idea of paying commission to an agency for their services, here is another thought. 

What is Exceptional Service?

Facilitation is the alternative to hiring an agency/agent. Learn the difference from representation vs. facilitation. But, whatever you do, don't fence yourself into trouble, call Tash Casso at 763.569.5644.

Thinking about listing your property on your own and without using a licensed realtor? This may seem like a good idea in the beginning and realtors understand the logic. There is no doubt that there are fees associated with listing, advertising, marketing,writing offers, recording transactions correctly and negotiating on the sellers behalf. However, there are a lot of things that can go wrong within a FSBO transaction!

Did you know that more real estate transactions completed by FSBO sellers are recorded incorrectly? Some of the transactions don't have a clear title, meaning whoever purchased the property may not actually own it! Having a title cleared after the fact can cost more than it would have cost to hire a realtor in the first place.

Radon Disclosures Must Be Included in All Minnesota Real Estate Transactions

What is Radon? It’s a colorless, odorless radioactive gas— its fumes can seep from the earth. Inhaling this gas can cause radioactive particles to damage the lining in the lungs. It is believed that exposure to radon can be deadly. It is estimated that there are approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the US each year. Radon is thought to be the culprit.

It is estimated that Radon is the second cause of lung cancer. This is a sufficient amount among non-smokers. Smoking is the first leading cause of lung cancer.

Radon Disclosure for Real Estate transactions

Radon exists throughout the United States.  The state of Minnesota’s ratio of homes with radon is 2 in every 5 homes. The poses a significant health risk to individuals living in the homes with no idea of the risk.  Minnesota's geology and the climate help contribute to the way homes are built and the production of radon.  

There are components that affect the levels of radon that accumulate in a home. The gas seeps through conduits entering a home through openings between the home and the soil. Air pressure between a home's interior and the exterior soil contributes to the draw of radon gas into the home.

Here are some components that contribute to radon entering a home. The following information was provided by the Minnesota Department of Health:

Cracks in concrete slabs

Spaces behind brick veneer walls that rest on uncapped hollow-block foundations

Pores and cracks in concrete blocks

Exposed soil, as in a sump or crawl space

Weeping (drain) tile, if drained to an open sump

Mortar joints

Loose fitting pipe penetrations

Open tops of block walls

Building materials: brick, concrete, rock

Well water (not commonly a major source in Minnesota homes)

The Minnesota Department of Health provides the following information to protect your family from the dangers of radon.

Test your home - obtain a test kit

Reduce your exposure - reduce radon gas by taking action to reduce radon entry into your home
Protect your loved ones - tell your family and friends to test so they are not exposed to a deadly gas in their homes.

Frozen Pipes in the Deep Freeze of Winter

Home owners should be aware of the effects the cold snap or deep freeze can have. A deep freeze can reap havoc on water pipes. Freezing pipes are common during this time of year. This occurs when water freezes in a pipe, causing it to expand and utilize pressure of approximately 2,000 lbs per square inch.

The effect of this occurrence is the rupturing of pipes. Once the pipes are filled with water there is no place for it to go—therefore the water freezes and enviable turns into ice which expands and ruptures.  

When a pipe explodes it can spill several hundred gallons of water per hour. This can cause thousands of dollars in damages at the home owners expense.  If pipes are frozen and have not ruptured a high powered hair dryer is one way to thaw the problem. For those who have pipes too close to a wall a cookie sheet can be placed behind the pipe which will emit heat to the pipe.
