  • What is sinkage?

    Sinkage is subsidence of the ground, causing voids under your slab or low spots in your yard. To learn more, contact Gator's Sand Pumping LLC. We are the sand pumping company Metairie, LA residents depend on.
  • What is the process for sand pumping?

    There will be the sand truck as well as a truck and trailer. The sand is run from the truck through the machine and pumped in through hoses. In some cases, they will dig small holes around the perimeter of the slab to access underneath the home to fill in all accessible voids. They will also go around the outer edge to leave a clean finish. They will wash in the sand with water to pack it in and ensure the sand will not wash away. Gutter extensions are highly recommended, because without them the sand around the bottom of the gutter will be washed away when it rains due to the volume of water in a specific area. Contact our sand pumping company in Metairie, LA to learn more.
  • What is the estimated time of completion?

    Time of completion will depend on the amount of sand needed, if we have one or two sand trucks on the job, and the location. When running two trucks, we can typically complete three or four loads, depending on the location, in one day. Get in touch with our reliable sand pumping company in Metairie, LA to get started.
