When you’re dealing with sinking concrete, foundation settlement, voids beneath your property, or structural concerns, it’s natural to have questions. Whether you’re considering mudjacking, polyurethane concrete lifting, foundation repair, helical piers, soil stabilization, or another repair solution, our team is here to help you make an informed decision.
Jacksonville Contracting has been serving Maryland homeowners, businesses, contractors, and municipalities since 1973. As a family-owned, second-generation company, we’ve helped thousands of customers address concrete settlement, foundation movement, drainage issues, structural concerns, and ground stabilization problems throughout the region.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our services, repair methods, warranties, financing options, and what to expect during the repair process.
Yes. Uneven concrete can create trip hazards around homes and businesses, especially on sidewalks and walkways, steps, and driveways. Addressing settlement early can help prevent injuries and additional damage.
Often, yes. As concrete settles, water can collect in low spots rather than draining properly. This commonly occurs on pool decks, garage floors, and driveways.
Cracks may develop from soil settlement, erosion beneath the slab, moisture changes, or voids under the concrete. In some cases, void filling or soil stabilization may be needed to address the underlying issue.
Warning signs may include wall cracks, sticking doors or windows, sloping floors, or gaps around the foundation. Our foundation repair and helical pier installation services are designed to address these concerns.
Recurring settlement, sinkholes, voids, pavement movement, and foundation issues can all indicate unstable soils. Professional evaluation can determine whether stabilization or grouting services are needed.
Helical piers are used to stabilize and support settling foundations by transferring structural loads to more stable soils below.
Yes. Proper repairs can stabilize the foundation and help prevent additional movement. The recommended solution depends on the cause of the settlement.
Not always. Some cracks are cosmetic, while others may indicate structural movement. A professional inspection can determine the severity of the issue.
Foundation wall grouting helps fill voids and stabilize areas around foundation walls where soil movement has occurred.

Many concrete surfaces can be lifted, including driveways, garage floors, basement floors, pool decks, porches and patios, and steps.
In many cases, yes. Concrete lifting is often faster, less disruptive, and more affordable than removing and replacing existing concrete.
Concrete lifting addresses the voids and support issues beneath the slab. In some cases, additional services such as soil stabilization may be recommended.
Many projects can be completed in a single day depending on the size and complexity of the repair.
Void filling is the process of filling empty spaces beneath concrete or structures to restore support and reduce the risk of settlement.
Soil stabilization strengthens weak or unstable soils beneath structures, pavements, and infrastructure.
Compaction grouting involves injecting grout into the ground to densify loose soils and improve stability.
In many cases, yes. Ground stabilization and grouting techniques can often be used to address voids, washouts, and soil-related issues.
It may be recommended when settlement, erosion, sinkholes, voids, or structural movement are present.
No. In many cases, estimates can be completed without the property owner being present.
Yes. Photos can help our team better understand the project and provide preliminary guidance.
