Pump River Sand Under House

Those are (really) good numbers on a per load basis if you need ~10 loads. If they’re providing the labor and the multiple trucks and spraying the sand under your house (with compressed air), I don’t know why someone would attempt this themselves.

To do this yourself, you’ve got to have a fleet of trucks and drivers to constantly reload the pump/conveyor truck, someone to crawl under the house and shoot the sand from the firehouse and somebody to manage reloading & watch the conveyor feeding the hose at the pump truck.

The sand per load at someplace like Wood Resources will cost around ~$40 for 3 cubic yards so the marginal cost for a 12 yard truck shouldn’t be too much more if you can drive right in and they’ll dump it in, but you’ve still got to drive there and back 12 time to your house, while you and friends are pumping. A professional company can do this in a day, DIY could take a few days. I can’t see how you’d spend less than $2,500-$3,000 buying sand, renting a 12 yard dump truck, renting the pump truck and fuel for both trucks, plus 2+ days of your and others’ labor.

I used Bayou Sand Pumping, a sister company of Harold's Plumbing, recently, respond here and I can give you a name and we'll both get a referral discount.

Well, depending on how much exposure you have under your house, think about having the drain lines looked at to make sure they are OK and don't need replacing. That is, if it's subsided enough to see the drain lines.

If a plumber has to come out and a crew excavate under a slab to access the lines so they can be changed, you're looking at big $$$$ to have that done. There's a possibility your drain lines may have slight sags in them if the soil subsided enough for them to not be supported.
