My wife sent me this pic while I was golfing Friday at 4. Gas company came and found no leak so they'll be back Monday. It's about 6' in diameter and 6 feet deep. What could cause this? And what should I expect tomorrow?

I was in Atlanta all week for work. So the grass was a little long and I also didn't get too close to the hole yesterday when I did mow so its still long.

Live in the city. The gas line is 4 feet down in the center of the hole but the hole is much deeper. Not sure where exactly the water line comes in but it's on that side of the house. The first pic is taken from our porch the neighbors house is in the background.

Our house was built in 98 but this is an old farm area I think the neighbors house is 1920s

If that hole is over the gas line I don't care what the gas company says, I'd make them double-check. wowsers!bases_loaded;1485464 wrote:Live in the city.

An old well? My in-laws had a similar looking sink hole but no gas line....and it was where an old water well was.

Old sepic tank or old well caved in. I had this happen at my house in Perrysburg.
If you live in Stark county this could be also a old mining cave ....
Is your house built on a land fill?
I filled it with big stones and cement blocks covered it with top soil a planed a tree... hope this helps.

I had to chase Reno off twice this weekend...something about smelling a fresh dug grave and needing a place to cover up the scum that is Big Red.
Gas company just left...put a pvc pipe over their line and said they'd never seen anything like it...5 ton of dirt gone....but its not something their line caused so now I wait for the city.

I don't see how a gas leak would case that - the dirt has to go somewhere. Especially if you can't smell it, I don't see how there'd be enough pressure to cause any erosion.
I'd say a water leak somewhere or, most likely, the explanation Belly gave.
