Okay, first off, I'm not actually sure about the cause though I have a good idea. Several months ago Cox Cable ran a new cable line through my backyard and now there's a deep trench along the path of the cable. My primary assumption is that Cox is the reason, but maybe it's some other utility instead. Anyway, I had decided to just fill it in with dirt in the summer, but now I can see that the trench is growing, bringing more of the yard to its level, and coming TOWARD THE HOUSE! Peeking through the fence, I saw that the neighbor directly across has no grass yet and a huge crack going through the dirt. Is the problem because of that possibly? Finally, I just need to know what to do? Should I just wait and fill it in or do I have a sinkhole problem on my hands? If Cox is to blame, can I make them fix it?
Some relevant information:
This is a newly built neighborhood
I moved in Sept.
Trench appeared about November, now it's Feb and it's growing.
Everything is near the far fence.
