Soil Stabilization

Unstable soil is one of the leading causes of structural issues in Florida homes and properties. Whether you’re seeing cracks in your foundation, sinking slabs, or voids opening behind seawalls, Helicon’s soil stabilization solutions restore ground strength and protect your investment-without major excavation.

Warning Signs Your Soil May Be Failing

Soil instability often develops gradually-but once it starts, damage can accelerate quickly. Look for these warning signs:

Underpin Foundations

Cracked or Shifting Foundation

Fractures in walls or uneven floors often point to soil movement beneath your home’s foundation.

uneven concrete slab

Sunken or Uneven Concrete Slabs

Driveways, patios, or pool decks that dip, tilt, or crack can signal erosion or voids below the surface.

voids or depressions in the yard

Voids or Depressions in the Yard

Unexpected low spots or soft ground may indicate soil washout or decomposing organic material underground.

cracked or leaning wall

Leaning Seawalls or Retaining Walls

Soil movement behind vertical structures can push walls outward, leading to tilting or collapse.

detached patio or pool deck

Detached Patios or Pool Decks

Separation from the home’s structure is often due to shifting or settling soil beneath the slab.

Underpin Foundations

Persistent Water Pooling

Standing water after rain may be a result of poor soil compaction and drainage-common precursors to erosion.

Everyone I dealt with were very helpful. I feel confident Helicon and their material used are top notch used in fixing sinkholes. I had LRE previously but their material was inferior. I had to get Helicon to redo LRE’s work!
Great crew! Everything went as expected.

Prompt, courteous and thorough!
Highly recommend Helicon.
Great company to deal with! I had the pleasure of working with Doug. He assessed the situation and gave us a great solution to remedy our home that was having issues with settling. Helicon crew came out and did what they said. No sales pressure and I am very happy with the results. Time will tell but they have a great warranty. Give Doug a call! Thank you, Doug and Helicon.
I highly recommend Helicon for their services. Great job and well done!
More importantly I had a reason to call and seek some follow up service on the project. Helicon was responsive and resolved my request for additional stabilization of the soil under the drive way.
Thank you Helicon.
I was very pleased with Brett and his crew. They came out did a great job. Explained everything to me and job was done very well.
Helicon was very informative and knowledgeable. Work was performed very quickly and clean. Would highly recommend.
They have done a great job on my pool patio?

How Helicon Stabilizes Your Soil

Our advanced polyurethane injection methods are designed to permanently stabilize Florida’s most problematic soils. Each approach is fast, clean, and tailored to your specific needs.

permeation grout

Permeation Grouting

We inject low-viscosity polyurethane deep into loose soil. As it expands, it binds soil particles into a dense, unified layer-strengthening the ground while preventing future washout.

compaction grouting

Compaction Grouting

In areas with large voids or weak zones, we inject high-expansion foam to displace soft soils and compact the surrounding material. This reinforces support under foundations, slabs, or seawalls.

Where Soil Stabilization Makes a Difference:

Home Foundations

Prevent structural damage and settlement.

Driveways, Patios & Pool Decks

Restore level surfaces and eliminate tripping hazards.

Seawalls & Retaining Walls

Stabilize high-pressure zones to prevent shifting or collapse.

Commercial Projects

Support buildings, roads, or infrastructure with unstable subgrade.

Property Construction & Development Organic Matter Decomposition
High water tables Karst Topography
Ground & Soil Erosion Soil Composition Variability
