Spring Under Home Could Erode Foundation In Walkersville
Homeowners Ray and Christine O'Brien face a spring beneath their Deerfield house that engineers warn could erode soil and cause a sinkhole under the 295 Maplewood Place dwelling. Frederick structural expert A.G. Pecora says groundwater dissolves limestone, risking foundation damage. Residents report widespread drainage issues with sump pumps running, yards swamped, and property values potentially affected as officials plan soil testing and drilling to verify the spring.
