Orange resident Kenneth K. contacted Saber regarding Cracks that had formed and Become Trip Hazards in the Driveway. See the attached picture. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Complete and Free Homeowner inspection. Voids were located under the Foundation and the Driveway.

Saber's crew attached Push Piers to the Foundation. We then Pressurized the Piers. This lifted and Strengthened the Foundation. We then filled the Voids with Polyurethane. This Sabilized the Home's Foundation, and the Driveway.

A homeowner in Orange, had noticed some foundation settlement issues occurring throughout his property.  He knew something needed to be fixed and the sooner the better.  Cracks were forming in the interior and exterior of the home and the doors and windows were becoming hard to open and close.  The homeowner found Saber and scheduled an appointment.  The Crew from Saber was able to fix the foundation by installing three steel push piers which were driven into the ground until they reached solid bedrock below.  The crew first needed to remove 3 areas of concrete to install the piers, once the piers were installed the crew then injected PolyLEVEL to fill any voids and further stabilize the home from future settlement.  The homeowner now has piece of mind knowing his biggest investment is once again stabilized and secured from future settlement.  The issue of the sticking doors and windows is no longer a problem and the cracks that had formed are now closed. 

Homeowners in West Covina, had noticed several areas in and around their home that were cause for concern.  There were cracks forming in the interior and exterior walls of the home and the doors and windows were becoming difficult to open and close.

The homeowners had received a few bids from other foundation contractors and decided to go with Saber after meeting with the project specialist.  The homeowner was impressed with his professionalism and his overall knowledge of the situation, soon after Saber was contracted and the work began on the home.  The crew had to saw cut and remove some areas of concrete to place the piers in the correct locations around the home for maximum practical recovery.  The concrete was then replaced once the piers had been installed and the home had been lifted.  The homeowners were kept informed of any issues or changes that needed to be made during the process.  Once the piers had been installed and the lift pro formed, the crew then used our PolyLEVEL™ to fill the void underneath the home to prevent any future settlement to occur.  The homeowners no longer see the effects of the settlement; the cracks in the walls have been closed and the doors and windows are no longer hard to open and close.

Are you and your home ready for the next earthquake?  Jerry B from Orange County is.  

Living in a home with a raised foundation Jerry knew the importance of having the sill plate bolted to the foundation stemwall.  Many homes in Orange County were built before the practice of foundation bolting was widely used.

160 linear feet of foundation stemwall was bolted by Saber's certified Crawl Space crew utilizing Simpson Strong Tie seismic plates connecting the wood structure of the home to the concrete foundation.  The seismic upgrade took one day to complete with no disturbance to the interior dwelling or utilities.

Claire G, of Costa Mesa, California, was experiencing sever concrete settlement at her condo, she had noticed that the walkways had some serious cracks and were uneven, causing tripping hazards.  The walls of her front porch were gapping and separating, making it very unsightly to look at.  She did some research and found that Saber Foundations using the PolyLEVEL™ process was the most effective and affordable way for her problem to be resolved, after contacting the Saber office and getting a Sales Representative to her property to do an evaluation and a free estimate, she was satisfied with the finding and the estimates for repair.  She made an appointment with the office to have a crew come and complete the work on her home.  

The Saber crew was able to get the job done quickly and affordably, using the PolyLEVEL™ process, which is a two part foam that is injected into the ground to form a fill that is strong, yet light weight, waterproof and will not leak chemicals into the soils, because it does not react with soil or water.  The PolyLEVEL™ also cures very quickly, and is adjustable.  By adjusting the density and expansive force of the two-part foam allowing for a wide range of uses.  The equipment used but the Saber crew is not bulky, which allows for easy access to confined places.  

During this process one small hole was cored into the concrete, where the PolyLEVEL™ material was injected.  Once the process was complete Claire, was able to see results immediately, the gapping in the walls were closed and the uneven walkways were level once again.  Claire was very pleased with the results of the PolyLEVEL™ and with the professionalism of the Saber crew.  Now Claire can once again enjoy being on the front porch of her condo.

Craig C. of Dana Point, California, noticed cracking in his stucco and drywall.  After researching the issue he found Saber, and called for an estimate.  Shortly after the call, an appointment was set for a Saber's Sales representative to evaluate the property.  The finding was that the home had settlement, the interior evaluations showed a maximum variance of -1.6 inches across the area measured.  So the recommendation was made to underpin the area as well as raise the foundation to support it from any future failure.

Saber  scheduled a crew to go the home and resolve the issue.  The project began by the crew marking out the nine pier locations, once the pier locations were marked the crew began digging to expose the footings of the property.  Once the footings were exposed the equipment, for driving pipe, was set up.  Once the pipe was driven to the proper depth, the brackets were mounted with hardware.

Once the hardware is installed on all the brackets the property is ready for the lift.  The lift was completed and polyurethane was injected for added support.  The cracks that had been formed prior to the stabilization, were traced and epoxied.  Once the lift was complete the holes were back filled and an inspection of the property was completed. 

There is no doubt that now Craig can have piece mind knowing that his property is stable and the value of his property is increased, due to the foundation repair.
