Hillsborough County Sinkhole Attorney - Building Codes

Hillsborough County Sinkhole Attorney notes that Government officials may change the building codes in order to provide residents with greater protections from potential sinkhole damage. The changes may call for foundations to be reinforced with extra steel in sinkhole prone areas. Although some are skeptical about the tougher building code, some believe that “[a]dding steel or reinforcing the slab will certainly prevent a lot of minor damage.” Regardless, it is believed the new regulations may lower the cost of sinkhole insurance premiums.
