Tunnel Back Filling after Hydro Tunneling

Tunnel Back Filling after Hydro Tunneling

If you have had some plumbing repairs done beneath your slab, you probably had a plumber hydro tunnel beneath your foundation to reach the pipes. After the repairs are finished, you will need to back fill the area to ensure the proper protection surrounds your pipes. Gators Sand Pumping can stretch a hose all the way to the deepest part of the tunnel and pump dry sand to fill in the entire tunnel all the way up to the slab. Using dry sand allows the sand to have better compaction and fill the tunnel up without any settling. This will keep any new sink holes from forming on the side of your foundation and allowing water to infiltrate its way back beneath your home leading to further problems. If you have had any plumbing work that has been completed beneath your home, be sure that you call Gators Sand Pumping to fill in the tunnel to make sure the job is done properly and without mess.
