Sinkhole forming in your parking lot or roadway? We deliver root-cause sinkhole repair and remediation for commercial, industrial, and municipal properties across the Charlotte metro — not surface patches that fail again in six months.
Most Charlotte-area sinkholes trace back to failed stormwater pipe joints, eroded backfill around catch basins, or karst voids beneath pavement. We locate the failure, stabilize the subgrade, and restore the surface to finished grade so your site stays open and safe.
Why It Matters
- Eliminates safety hazards and operational shutdowns in high-traffic areas
- Addresses the cause — pipe failure, void, or washout — not just a surface patch
- Prevents water infiltration that undermines subgrade, utilities, and adjacent structures
- Protects brand reputation and reduces liability for property owners and managers
Our Process
- CCTV or visual inspection to locate failure points and map void extent
- Excavation to stable subgrade; remove failed backfill and compromised material
- Repair or replace structures, pipe joints, or laterals as needed
- Compaction in lifts; restore pavement, concrete, or asphalt to spec
- Final QA, photo documentation, and monitoring recommendations

FAQ
Who do I call for a sinkhole in my yard or parking lot in Charlotte? Call Charlotte Stormwater at (704) 489-3415 for commercial and industrial properties. We assess the void, determine whether stormwater infrastructure is the cause, and scope a root-cause repair — not a surface fill.
How fast can you respond to an emergency sinkhole? For active safety hazards at commercial and industrial sites, we aim for same-day or next-day assessment. Repair scheduling depends on scope, materials, and traffic control requirements.
What causes sinkholes in Charlotte? Most commercial sinkholes in the Charlotte area result from failed stormwater pipe joints, eroded backfill around catch basins or manholes, or karst geology in certain areas. Water infiltrates through a crack, washes out subgrade material, and the surface collapses.
Do you handle municipal sinkhole repair? Yes. We work with municipalities, property managers, and commercial owners on sinkhole remediation for roadways, parking lots, and campus infrastructure. We coordinate traffic control and restoration to finished grade.
Can sinkhole repair be bundled with catch basin reconstruction? Often, yes. When a sinkhole forms around a catch basin, we repair the inlet structure and stabilize the surrounding subgrade in one scope. This prevents repeat failures and reduces mobilization costs.
Is a free sinkhole inspection available? We provide an initial site assessment as part of our repair scoping. Contact us with photos and location details for a same-day review on active hazards.
