When the soil beneath a structure loses strength or shifts over time, it can lead to settling concrete, foundation movement, voids, drainage issues, and structural damage. Whether you’re dealing with a sinking slab, foundation settlement, roadway movement, or erosion beneath a structure, addressing the underlying soil problem is often the key to a long-lasting repair.
At Jacksonville Contracting Co Inc, we provide soil stabilization services throughout Maryland to strengthen weak soils, improve load-bearing capacity, and help prevent future settlement. Our team works with homeowners, businesses, contractors, and municipalities to address unstable ground conditions before they become larger structural problems.
Soil conditions can change over time due to water infiltration, erosion, poor compaction, or natural settlement. As the supporting soils weaken, structures and concrete surfaces above them can begin to move.
Common causes include:
Ignoring unstable soils can allow settlement problems to continue and potentially lead to more costly repairs.
If soil instability has already caused movement, we also provide void filling, compaction grouting, foundation repair, and helical pier installation 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 settlement problems begin below the surface long before visible damage appears. Identifying the warning signs early can help prevent further movement.
Common signs include:
If you notice these conditions, soil stabilization may be needed to address the root cause of the problem.
Every project is different, but our goal is always the same: strengthen weak soils and improve support beneath the structure.
Small access holes are created to reach weak soils, voids, or unstable areas beneath the affected structure.
Specialized materials are injected beneath the surface to strengthen soils, reduce settlement potential, and improve support.
The access points are patched, the work area is cleaned, and the stabilized area is ready for continued use.
Addressing weak soils can help prevent future settlement and extend the life of structures and concrete surfaces.
