Default foundation erosion/concrete (drainage) work needed

ok i've ignored the problem long enough. we have a walk up basement on the side of our house, about 12 concrete stairs long. last year a couple small holes appeared where the grass meets the top landing. i figured it was merely little animals burrowing but the holes have gotten bigger. yes i'm an idiot for letting it go so long because poking around today with a flashlight, mirror, and long stick, the 2 holes appear to lead to a friggin cavern beneath stairs/landing. i'm not even sure how far down the eroded open space goes, maybe below the whole staircase? below the house???

anyhoo, does anyone have any recommendations as to someone who can handle this as well as some concrete work down in the well itself - i want to open up the sump drainage hole so that it stops from getting clogged and flooding my basement all the darn time.

btw i'm in germantown md if anyone knows a local outfit.
