Default Sand in my basement???

I'm at a loss. I'm building a room in our basement and tonight
I found a pile of sand around one stud spilling onto the floor ???
Now this was not there 2 weeks ago when I was pulling some electric.
My neighbor who was helping me frame a door tonight said he finds this
around his walls at certain spots sometimes but never that much so quick.
We have been here 7yrs now and I never saw this before. The basement
was finished when bought the house but I gutted it due to termites.
The funny part is it seems to be coming up through the floor, its dry and very fine.

I searched but I'm coming up with nothing. Does anybody know what is going on here?



More termites. Those are the cement eating variery. Your concrete
floor is probably infested with termites. Remove the floor,
foundation, and all concrete or cement block walls. If you don't,
your house will collapse in a few years.
