Under Slab Sinking – Pumping Sand Beneath Foundation
Under Slab Sinking – Pumping Sand Beneath Foundation
In homes, especially in the New Orleans metro area such as Kenner, Metairie, Lakeview, and Harahan, you tend to see settling near the foundation. If it is identified early, then you usually require less material to fill in the gaps beneath your home. If the problem has been occurring for some time then you may require more material and possibly some repairs before we would move forward with pumping sand into the cavities.
This continued erosion can cause additional damage to any pilings that support the building or even possible damage to plumbing or pipes located beneath the slab. Pumping sand beneath the home will serve to protect pilings and foundations from rotting. It will also keep water from pooling and causing the a faulty support in your foundation, possibly leading to complete failure of the foundation. Gators Sand Pumping will pump dry sand beneath your home all the way up to the slab which creates a good seal between the ground and the slab, keeping water out.
