Our home is 9 years old. They somehow got several feet of culvert on one side of our driveway and the other is damn near flush with the driveway. We got the contractor to add a cement cap/extension on that side. Noticed today it is very eroded. Anyone have any experience with something like this? Not sure if it would be possible to get concrete pumped in there?

Wait until it falls off then pour a new one.

Ask them to use concrete on the remediation. Needs course and fine aggregate mixed with the cement.

This happened to me on a 30 year old house. The culverts shifted a little over time and everything under eroded. Had to have the apron replaced and the culverts shifted back into place

My concern is our drive way. There is little to no soil left between the culvert and driveway.

Pile some unopened bags of quikrete under there. Water the unopened bags with a hose or wait for rain. The quikrete bags will also cure/harden even if it's under water.
