I nearly lost the core as the ground beneath at that location had settled about that same distance. The core fell into the space and started to fall over and got wedged in the bottom of the core hole. Thankfully the whole concrete pier/wharf was supported on piles and the ground settlement underneath the deck was a non issue, but yes, you can definitely get voids beneath concrete slabs and footings over time | |
