Culverts play a critical role in directing water beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and other structures. When a culvert begins to deteriorate, develop voids around the pipe, or experience soil erosion, the surrounding ground can settle and create serious safety and structural concerns. Left untreated, these issues can lead to pavement failures, sinkholes, drainage problems, and costly repairs.
Jacksonville Contracting helps property owners, municipalities, contractors, and commercial facilities stabilize soils, fill voids, and repair settlement issues associated with damaged or failing culverts. Our team uses proven stabilization and grouting solutions to help restore support around culvert systems and prevent further deterioration.
Over time, water movement can wash away supporting soils around a culvert. As the surrounding ground loses support, voids can develop and the surface above may begin to settle.
Common causes include:
Ignoring these issues can lead to larger settlement problems and expensive infrastructure repairs.
Many culvert problems are related to underlying soil instability. Jacksonville Contracting also provides soil stabilization, void filling, compaction grouting, and bridge approach stabilization services throughout Maryland.

We are about to do some hardscaping and improvements on our home but wanted to make sure our cracked and uneven patio was level. I contacted Jacksonville Contracting and Mitchell came out right away. Estimate was very fair. They were able to get us scheduled within our time frame and the guys were efficient,friendly,and did a great job.They found cracks that were 2-4” so thankfully i called them when I did. We would not hesitate to hire them again. Their prices are competitive and they are very professional!![]()

Found this company by accident and they did not disappoint. Prompt , very reasonable on price and professional! Would use them again and highly recommend to anyone who needs concrete work. For us it was adding concrete to existing pool deck that had settled over many years. Thanks Mitchell and team !!!![]()

We have a concrete front porch with several gaps from erosion that was sagging in places. Jacksonville contracting was able to fill the gaps and level off our front porch and sidewalk. They did a nice job and unlike a lot of other contractors cleaned up after themselves. They did all the work without any supervision from my wife or myself making the scheduling a dream! We couldn't be happier with the results and the service! Great job!![]()

My insurance company cited my porch for being unsafe so I asked them for recommendations and they recommended Jacksonville Contracting. They were absolutely the best contractor I have worked with in a long time. Extremely quick responses to emails same day, fair pricing, always kind in explaining the good, bad and results to expect. The kindness of Mitchell Shinnick was beyond what I have ever received and I am so thankful I was referred to him! He was very empathetic as well. I wish he could take on other home improvement projects!![]()

Did a great job and were professional from the first phone call until the completion of the job. Thank you! Chris
Many culvert issues begin below the surface long before visible damage appears. Identifying problems early can help prevent larger structural failures.
Common warning signs include:
If you notice these issues, it may be time to have the area evaluated before further settlement occurs.
Our repair process focuses on restoring support around the culvert and stabilizing the surrounding soils to help prevent future settlement.
Small, strategically placed holes are drilled to access the voids and unstable soils surrounding the culvert system.
Specialized grout or stabilization materials are injected to fill voids, strengthen soils, and restore support around the structure.
Once stabilization is complete, the access holes are patched and the work area is cleaned and restored.
