Local service focus
Washout under concrete can keep a slab from staying stable
Void filling is often relevant when water erosion, soil movement, or repeated drainage problems leave gaps below the slab. That can contribute to settling or make another lifted section more likely to move again.
If you suspect support loss under a driveway, sidewalk, porch, or patio slab, note where the area sounds hollow, where soil has washed out, and whether the movement has gotten worse over time.
- Visible washout or erosion near slab edges
- Concrete that sounds hollow or feels unsupported
- Recurring settlement after water movement under the slab
