Slab, sewer and driveway repair across Woodmere
Woodmere was built on fill over marsh, and decades of settlement show up as cracked slabs, tilted driveways and sewer laterals that have lost their fall. A Woodmere repair job means piers, mudjacking or a new apron, with one standard unit at the street end for two or three weeks.
Driveways in Woodmere are often the thing being replaced. A Woodmere crew with the apron out needs the unit off the concrete entirely, so we set on plank at the curb line.
Fences, yards and Woodmere access
Woodmere lots are fenced tight with narrow gates, so there is usually one workable position and no second choice. We put a Woodmere unit at the street end of the drive where the hose reaches and the homeowner can still park a car. Back yards are mostly out. A Woodmere gate under four feet cannot pass a unit, and we say that before the truck is dispatched.
Canals, pumps and the Woodmere summer
Woodmere drains to the parish canals that run out toward the marsh, with pumps holding the level rather than the ground ever drying out. A Woodmere yard stays damp under the turf all year, so a unit on bare grass drops a corner within a month. Plank under a Woodmere setting is cheaper than lifting a leaning cabin twice.
Heat is the other half of a Woodmere summer. From June a Woodmere crew on a roof or a slab is drinking water all day, so we move to twice weekly service and keep the Woodmere handwashing stand full. Nobody working on a Woodmere slab crew should be left rationing water in August.
