We have been in business for 175 years, and our foundation work is backed by a Lifetime Warranty and Guarantee. It's important to begin any enterprise with a firm foundation and no one knows better than Abry Brothers. Abry, a skilled shorer, arrived in New Orleans from Frank- furt, Germany. Realizing he had a niche in the construction market due to the unstable delta soil which is characteristic of the area, Abry purchased a lot at 816-18 North Johnson St. and set up shop. He ran the business alone until the 1860's when he was joined by his son Emile. Emile's three sons came into the business near the turn of the century and operated under the name "Emile Abry &Sons." His sons would later change the name to Abry Brothers. Six generations later, Abry Brothers continues to be a stabilizing force in the building industry, handling all sizes and types of jobs. Also serving Louisiana areas such as Alexandria, Shreveport and Lawton, also Lawton, Oklahoma.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
