Excavation & Site Work services in Kenner
Kenner stretches from the Mississippi River levee to the lakefront, with Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the middle. The ground near the river, in Rivertown, is the higher, firmer soil of the natural levee. Moving north toward the lake, it drops below sea level and turns to soft clay and organic marsh soil that compresses under weight. Homes in the northern subdivisions were mostly built from the 1960s through the 1980s on slabs over fill, and many have settled, cracking walks and tilting driveways. The water table is shallow everywhere. In Kenner, we dig sewer and drain lines, raise and regrade low yards with compacted fill, break out sunken slabs and patios, and dig for pools with pumps ready for the water that seeps in.
