generally they pump sand or gravel under house for the footers and the foundation. the sand or gravel helps to make the concrete they are going to pour shift or move less than what it would if it where just on the ground/ dirt, it also creates a barrier from the moisture in dirt. usually depending on state building codes the thickness of the sand or concrete should be between 4" to 12". In cold weather they like to use sand because it does freeze as hard as soil.
