Mine Hill NJ Sink Hole
Donation protected
I am Gary Giardina. I am raising money for my friend Andy Kauff. He has two huge sink holes in his backyard that no one is responsible for except him.
MINE HILL - A Morris County homeowner must pay about $10,000 to fix two massive sinkholes in his backyard.
One of the holes in Andrew Kauff's Mine Hill yard is 19-feet deep, which officials say is about 15 truckloads of caved-in soil.
"I get sick to my stomach to be honest. I think what next, how am I going to resolve this? It's always on my mind,” Kauff says.
Kauff says that he discovered the huge hole after coming home from work on Dec. 30. At about 4 a.m. the next morning, he says he woke up to a loud thud. The hole had gotten even bigger, and a second hole had been created.
Insurance will not cover the sinkholes because they are considered “earth movement.”
Mine Hill Mayor Sam Morris tells News 12 New Jersey that this is the seventh sinkhole he’s had to deal with during his tenure as mayor.
“This one gets the prize,” he says. “This is the biggest and scariest one that we found.”
