Karst

Karst is a landscape formed when rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide, creating a weak acid that dissolves limestone and other soluble rocks. Over time, this process carves out caves, sinkholes, and underground drainage systems, leaving behind unstable ground. Homes built in karst regions may face foundation settlement, cracks, and structural risks due to hidden voids beneath the surface. Proper site assessments and foundation reinforcements help mitigate these risks.
