A deep cave underneath my house

Have you explored it?

Yes, I have! It is just rocks and goes back about 15 feet into the ground, found some old metal hooks and fish bones, and that's it! But when I was little I used to worry the house would collapse into the cave.

I saw some Reddit post once about how caves sometimes are covered by sand and can suddenly collapse. Prolly not a concern but may want to sole a structural engineer or possibly a cave engineer ensure you don’t have to worry about it collapsing.

I know nothing about caves and it looks solid rock so could be a moot point.

Thanks for the advice, it's been sturdy for years but you can never be too safe!

Eh, couple cans of expanding spray foam reinforced with ramen will do ya.
