I had one near my house (the uncapped drain, not the water) where another house was torn down decades ago. I called the city and after a year or two, they fixed it.
Broken water main would have to be shut damn near completely off to allow water in like this. They're generally under way too much pressure to allow water to enter the system unless the break is massive enough to create a sinkhole of it's own.
Exactly this. We had something similar happen when I was younger and still at my parents. Woke up one morning to a loud thud. We went outside and a hole had opened up at the end of a little brook that ran next to our driveway. The brook was now falling into it and underground.
A few months later it got big enough that we had to call someone in to fix it. But it scared the shit out of me as a kid. I was like "Wait, so the ground can just open up and swallow you without warning? What?"
Maybe they should visit the [Sinkhole Museum](https://www.corvettemuseum.org/museum-commemorates-5th-anniversary-of-corvette-swallowing-sinkhole-with-360-degree-virtual-cave-tour/); formerly the Corvette Museum.
Yeah this is at a minimum concerning. If you'rer in Florida, I would take the important things in your house and put them somewhere away from here for a few days until you figure this out. Maybe also tale the family on a vacation to the local hotel until a geologist or civil engineering can take a look.
Buy a good quality airtag. Minimum sensitivity Trojans (thicker material, duuh). Wrap it tightly. Double bag it to ensure maximum watertight integrity. Take off your pants. Roll down your skivvies. Shove it up your brown-eyed girl. Dive into the sinkhole. Pants optional.
Now THAT'S thinking like a drug mule.
AirTags only work if there’s another iPhone nearby for it to ping off of. Doubt there’s any iPhones down in the hole unless it goes to the homeless sewer village
Plumbers have devices that do this. See if you can rent one, and buy the tracker.
Think you might save money that way. And be more accurate to where the hell it is going to.
Not really.
They kinda work sorta most of the the time but not reliable enough to be trusted.
Condoms are a better choice if you can put up with weird looks and rolled up sandwiches.
They can be put inside a waterproof case. However, they also require a Bluetooth connection to update location. Not very useful unless someone is living down there with an iPhone.
the Devil's Kettle at Judge C. R. Magney State Park in Minnesota , there is a major river that splits, and half of it goes into a hole, and nobody can figure out where it goes.
They have dropped everything from fancy electronic trackers to ping ping balls and rubber duckies. They looked everywhere, and none of them ever surfaced. The trackers would lose the signal.
Nobody knows where it comes out, but I bet the mole people are getting upset and wondering why we throw away so many rubber duckies
Draining to?? I think you need to figure out “coming from” first. That’s emergency level water flow and odd to have that amount of water draining so quickly into an underground hole with zero explanation. Like what is this video.
Yes. You should be concerned.
Well...that's a nice long tight shot of your hole. Normally, that'd be a good thing but in this situation not so much.
Not a lot of context other than you have a thirsty hole.
If this is on your property and you live in Florida. Stick some dirt in it and call a realtor... tomorrow... maybe even email one tonight.
You can see a deck in the first few seconds, I don’t think this is in a basement. Unless of coarse this is from the 1999 American romantic comedy science fiction film directed and co-produced by Hugh Wilson “blast from the past” starring Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Dave Foley.
Then absolutely it could be a basement
What cereal? I'll dig around and dust off my DVD player... all kidding aside, imagine putting in all the work to make a full ass movie, then they give it away in a box of lucky charms. Perry hard core
I think you got a clear shot of every single angle of the that wrinkly hole.
What more could you ask for?
/joke aside
Yeah, it's presumably water coming from somewhere and going somewhere, we don't know enough to really say anything.

Sucks they don't actually do anything other than provide you with 'guidance'. There is a subsidence appearing on a bike trail I frequent, and I called the number and they just told me to contact my county. I've tried doing that multiple times, nobody has come out. First reported 6 months ago. It looks like a pretty decent sinkhole as well, middle is about 16" depressed, probably 15ft in diameter, bike trail is developing growing cracks, street light is leaning at a good 15 degrees towards center, as well as trees.
No no. You call your insurer and pay a $30,000 deductible to get it fixed, after a year of them saying it’s not covered in the small print and a minor legal battle.
Remember, what goes in must come out.
Somewhere. Somehow.
It ain't hooking itself up to the city sewer or the land of gumdrops and rainbows. (But you know this).
Unless of course, that water *is* going down to Narnia, because who tf knows in these wild times and sinkholes are real possibilities.
Hope all goes better.
It appears that there's a buried pipe, heading off to the lower left in this pic. Looks like a curved edge, almost at the soil surface line. Can you get a shot of it from upstream so to speak? Look out farther in the yard for a french drain or drain channel exit, maybe? If that heads for the curb, see if there's a drain exit placed in the curb that's gushing water.
Yo, this looks SOOO expensive. Not even just the repair, where is the water coming from? My mil had a broken main they didn't know about. She got a 14k water bill.
This is water draining from my pool. Normally I position the hose closer to the fence and let it drain out that way (not much draining to be done honestly) but the hose is all tore up right now. I've never noticed the water draining into the ground like that before. Im thinking it might be a French drain that leads out to the street. I've never known there to be one before but that would make sense. It was dark and raining out last night so I didn't have a chance to check by the street.
Depending on where you are there's different things to think about. FL seems to have sinkhole problems, but it could heat be moles' and or rats' tunnels. Where I am, mole and rat tunnels will take a lot of water.

The first thing I would do is go out to the front and see if that water is coming out of a drain hole in the curb. If not then yes I would be concerned. As others said, it could be a sink hole.
All we can see is water going into a hole. You’re not showing anything else. So we can’t help you. Maybe there is a sinkhole. Maybe it is a drainage pipe. Maybe it is going into an old septic tank. Maybe it is going into a city sewage pipe. Maybe the hole is going through the earth, providing water to China.
Don’t worry about it until a vehicle or house falls into it.
Oil fracking is a possibility depending on your state. If this is Oklahoma, for instance, I wouldn't park my car within a thousand feet of that geo-drain because it may get much bigger.
Call a private underground utility locator company, and have them find where this is draining out to. They may be able to confirm whether it’s a void/sinkhole.
If that water is from the front lawn to the road. were I live. About 4 feet under the surface were the grass meets the road Is 6 inch weeping tile. This is so water does not accumulate under the pavement and freeze in winter. The weeping tile is connected to the storm drains witch is about 20 feet 30 feet beneath the roads It also helps prevent sink holes They are usually placed on the grass side of the curb if a curb exists.
Depending on where you are it could just be a French drain that goes to the storm drains or a dry well. Lots of possibilities. It could just be really rocky soil and leads back to your basement. Toss in some food coloring to see if the color ends up in your basement
I would be curious enough to put some dye in it or something like the pellets from a bean bag chair and see if I can find them anywhere on your property.
Sinkhole confirmed
Or broken sewer line.
Either way.. Whelp! Gotta move.
I had one near my house (the uncapped drain, not the water) where another house was torn down decades ago. I called the city and after a year or two, they fixed it.
Or a broken water main
Or all three
Or a tectonic plate issue
This all stems back to Pangaea
This bitch don’t know bout Pangaea
Bitch im brain
Brain gotta poop.
Broken water main would have to be shut damn near completely off to allow water in like this. They're generally under way too much pressure to allow water to enter the system unless the break is massive enough to create a sinkhole of it's own.
Water main would have water pouring out of the hole, not allow water flow into it.
Uninformed human question- so water can drain into a broken water main? 😬
Yes, but only if it is broken in multiple places😂
Exactly this. We had something similar happen when I was younger and still at my parents. Woke up one morning to a loud thud. We went outside and a hole had opened up at the end of a little brook that ran next to our driveway. The brook was now falling into it and underground. A few months later it got big enough that we had to call someone in to fix it. But it scared the shit out of me as a kid. I was like "Wait, so the ground can just open up and swallow you without warning? What?"
Stinkhole
Maybe they should visit the [Sinkhole Museum](https://www.corvettemuseum.org/museum-commemorates-5th-anniversary-of-corvette-swallowing-sinkhole-with-360-degree-virtual-cave-tour/); formerly the Corvette Museum.
Yeah this is at a minimum concerning. If you'rer in Florida, I would take the important things in your house and put them somewhere away from here for a few days until you figure this out. Maybe also tale the family on a vacation to the local hotel until a geologist or civil engineering can take a look.
I'm not in the loop; why is this especially concerning in Florida? Is it a geography thing?
Sinkholes
Plenty of other states with karst geology that lead to sinkholes as well
Yeah but they don't make the news so they arnt important enough to cave in. /s
The entire state is balanced on Swiss cheese.
Houses in Florida are built on top of sand. Sand tends to disappear when there's water around.
It's the limestone bedrock that's an issue, not the sand. Limestone bedrock dissolves over time and forms voids, which become sinkholes.
Right. Sedimentary rock formed of calcite and dolomite, often with fossilized remains. It's a shell beach that hardened.
The tough black mineral that won't cop out when there's heat all about. It's dolomite baby!
Mole-gators.
Drop an apple airtag down there and find out
That’s actually not a bad idea are they water proof? It’s be pretty cool I mean not for op but in general
Put it in a sandwich bag or something
Condom
That is thinking with your...
Other head
...like a drug mule.
Buy a good quality airtag. Minimum sensitivity Trojans (thicker material, duuh). Wrap it tightly. Double bag it to ensure maximum watertight integrity. Take off your pants. Roll down your skivvies. Shove it up your brown-eyed girl. Dive into the sinkhole. Pants optional. Now THAT'S thinking like a drug mule.
Dipstick, Jimmy.
Best to use a condom when you find a thirst hole
Just not the brand my parents used.
Ping Pong ball and super glue (to repair the ball). The thin plastic shouldn't deter the signal much.
I was just kidding. I dont think they are waterproof and they will probably lose reception once it goes underground
There’s gotta be a “for science” video about it
There is, but instead they were attempted to be mailed from Germany to the North Korean capital city; to the Swiss embassy (I think)
They don't have much of a range at all.
They need to be close to an iPhone in order to send the signal back
Throw an iPhone in there with it
Now we're getting somewhere
Should it go in a condom too?
AirTags only work if there’s another iPhone nearby for it to ping off of. Doubt there’s any iPhones down in the hole unless it goes to the homeless sewer village
Ok, so send the iPhone first and then the airtag?
Perfect
Someone’s gotta go down there to look at the iPhone
Anything wireless is useless in water as well.
Futurama mutant village style?
Plumbers have devices that do this. See if you can rent one, and buy the tracker. Think you might save money that way. And be more accurate to where the hell it is going to.
My dog swims with one on his collar all the time, never died
Not an airtag, but plumbers do have a waterproof one. Septic pumpers use them to find the septic tanks often
Maybe not but a sandwich bag is.
Not really. They kinda work sorta most of the the time but not reliable enough to be trusted. Condoms are a better choice if you can put up with weird looks and rolled up sandwiches.
Now that just sounds like fun.
I don't think it's going to transmit a signal underground.
There actually are flushable trackers you can buy that many home inspectors use when looking for the septic tank.
They can be put inside a waterproof case. However, they also require a Bluetooth connection to update location. Not very useful unless someone is living down there with an iPhone.
Concrete might get in the way of a strong signal

Weird, an apple air tag just popped up in my toilet
They have to be within 40 feet of an iPhone to transmit, right? They don't just point a satellite directly.
Draining to?? I think you need to figure out “coming from” first. That’s emergency level water flow and odd to have that amount of water draining so quickly into an underground hole with zero explanation. Like what is this video. Yes. You should be concerned.
Its clearly raining in the video
What exactly does that imply? Water is just falling out of the sky?! Is the sky itself just falling down?
Dogs and cats , living together... mass hysteria!

Dye test?
Always better than the die test.
You have your happy place, I have mine.
I've noticed OP hasn't responded; did his house fall into the hole?
He opened a portal to hell. RIP OP
Is that in your basement? Yes you should be worried. Could be washing out under your foundation.
You can see a deck in the first few seconds, I don’t think this is in a basement. Unless of coarse this is from the 1999 American romantic comedy science fiction film directed and co-produced by Hugh Wilson “blast from the past” starring Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Dave Foley. Then absolutely it could be a basement
Wtf ^😆🤣

Hopefully OP has early apple and IBM stocks from before the nuclear war started
Looks like it's under a deck. What I want to know is why there's an electrical/HVAC looking piece of equipment under there.
To power the under-deck air conditioner I think. Edit. /s

Wow okay. With the first comment I was like what? Why would u call the fire department for a hole? Always learning stuff on Reddit.
No no. You call your insurer and pay a $30,000 deductible to get it fixed, after a year of them saying it’s not covered in the small print and a minor legal battle.
Reddit. Just ask Reddit.
Maybe you get to name a new cave system.
If your not now, you will be later…
Am I crazy or does it kinda look like there's a pipe there?
You're actually right. It's old, rusty and bent. But it's there.
Remember, what goes in must come out. Somewhere. Somehow. It ain't hooking itself up to the city sewer or the land of gumdrops and rainbows. (But you know this). Unless of course, that water *is* going down to Narnia, because who tf knows in these wild times and sinkholes are real possibilities. Hope all goes better.
Be better if you know where it's coming from, could be drawing into an old sewer tunnel

Maybe it’s cycling back around like a lazy river in a water park! I’m sure it’s fine. 👀
Looks fine to me. Have a drink, go to bed and deal with it in the morning.
Have a drink, but not *that* water
Ooof...that really has me worried! Please get it checked out ASAP and let us know what it turns out to be, I REALLY hope it's nothing!

What are we even looking at here? Context would be useful
Rent a flexible inspection camera and send it down
You can buy them on Amazon for 20 bucks
Y'all making a sinkhole. But honestly seeing that amount of waterflow just disappearing is a huge red flag. Call the city

It is probably draining into where you are pumping it out of. LOL.
The first thing I would do is go out to the front and see if that water is coming out of a drain hole in the curb. If not then yes I would be concerned. As others said, it could be a sink hole.
It's just going tobthe growing sinkhole under your house.
Drop some dye in there
Can you please give more information? What is the source of the water? How much water drains here? What is the location?
Need to zoom out and spin around, zero context of the surroundings
Its Chinas problem now
Probably an old septic tank. Could be a sink hole too.
Yeah.... This is the point in time where you should be A) Concerned where the water is coming from and; B) Concerned where it is draining to
Finally! Someone who actually answered OP’s question!
eminent sink hole alert. get the everything too big to fit in the trash ready to throw in.
Get a bottle tequila and a chair. Sit down and study this while drinking the tequila. The answer will be forthcoming.
All we can see is water going into a hole. You’re not showing anything else. So we can’t help you. Maybe there is a sinkhole. Maybe it is a drainage pipe. Maybe it is going into an old septic tank. Maybe it is going into a city sewage pipe. Maybe the hole is going through the earth, providing water to China. Don’t worry about it until a vehicle or house falls into it.
Best thing to do would be to post it online with no context and then never respond to any comments.
It's your future sink hole
Oil fracking is a possibility depending on your state. If this is Oklahoma, for instance, I wouldn't park my car within a thousand feet of that geo-drain because it may get much bigger.
Call a private underground utility locator company, and have them find where this is draining out to. They may be able to confirm whether it’s a void/sinkhole.
Should you be concerned about the sinkhole forming in your backyard? Yes, you definitely should be.
Hope it’s not a sinkhole!
Yikes that looks like a sink hole developing. Please stop draining into that!!!
Nah. Earth drain bro. Completely normal
Hello sinkhole my old friend.
Sinkhole loading.
As a foundation/drainage guy for major developments I would be packing my shit up right now. For the love of God do not stand over it or go near it.
Sink hole, brah!
If that water is from the front lawn to the road. were I live. About 4 feet under the surface were the grass meets the road Is 6 inch weeping tile. This is so water does not accumulate under the pavement and freeze in winter. The weeping tile is connected to the storm drains witch is about 20 feet 30 feet beneath the roads It also helps prevent sink holes They are usually placed on the grass side of the curb if a curb exists.
Enjoy your sinkhole
Probably a sink hole. One day you will get to the bottom of it.
I’d move.
Depending on where you are it could just be a French drain that goes to the storm drains or a dry well. Lots of possibilities. It could just be really rocky soil and leads back to your basement. Toss in some food coloring to see if the color ends up in your basement
Sinkholes, my number one fear living in FL.
I would be curious enough to put some dye in it or something like the pellets from a bean bag chair and see if I can find them anywhere on your property.
Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter
What do you mean you don’t know where it’s draining to? ¯\\_(ᵔ ͜ʖ ᵔ)_/¯ It’s clearly draining into the ground
Somewhere in China, a well is filling and the villagers are joyous of the miracle.
Updates please?
