Residents of Carlsbad Jennifer and Doran L. contacted Saber to have their crawl space encapsulated. A Saber design specialist recommended the CleanSpace system that provides layers of protection from moisture and dust. Jennifer and Doran chose Saber for their crawl space needs. Crawl Space Foreman Jordan S. and crew arrived at the job on time and ready to work. The Saber crew prepped the crawl space to receive a layer of drainage mat and a layer of clean white mat.

Homeowners in Chula Vista, California 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 doors and windows were becoming harder to open and close.  After researching contractors in their area, the homeowners chose Saber and we quickly got a crew out to get to work.  The crew had to saw cut and removed several areas of concrete to place the piers in the correct locations around the home for maximum practical recovery.  Saber installed 10 push piers at the designated pier locations and they also installed 7 helical anchors with retrofit brackets at the specified locations on the design map.  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 preformed, the crew then backfilled the holes where each pier was located.  The homeowners no longer see the effect of the foundation's settlement, the cracks in the walls have been closed and the doors and windows are significantly easier to open and close.

Jennifer, a homeowner in Chula Vista, faced concerning issues with large cracks and sunken concrete all around her backyard patio and concrete pool deck.

This innovative technique effectively fixed the sloping concrete, by leveling the sunken concrete around her back patio. Additionally, Saber sealed all the cracks, ensuring a clean finish and eliminating all trip hazards. The application of these techniques has transformed Jennifer's experience in her new home.

Dennis, a homeowner in Chula Vista, felt concerned about the deteriorating slab on one side of his attached garage. Initially noticed a few years back, the issue had progressively worsened over time, despite his home being newly built in 2013. Seeking a reliable foundation repair specialist offering quality solutions, Dennis discovered Saber Foundation. Upon inspection, Saber Foundation proposed a lasting fix for the problem. They identified horizontal cracking in the stem wall, a common issue in California attributed to rebar oxidation due to excessive moisture. This phenomenon causes steel expansion, leading to concrete stem wall cracks—a problem that worsens over time. Saber's solution involved the NeveRust™ stem wall repair system, designed to resist rust, unlike traditional repair methods. This innovative approach ensures long-term durability, alleviating Dennis's concerns about ongoing deterioration. Choosing Saber Foundation Repair proved to be a wise decision for Dennis. With the NeveRust™ stem wall repair system in place, he now enjoys peace of mind, knowing his home's foundation is secure and resistant to future deterioration.

Gina, a homeowner in Chula Vista, grew concerned about several issues plaguing her crawlspace—raised areas, excess moisture, and the presence of rodents/pests. The unsettling smell lingering around her home prompted action. With humidity levels at 76.2% RH, Gina sought assistance from Saber Foundation to address these problems and permanently stabilize her foundation. Saber Foundation's comprehensive solution involved installing a crawl space encapsulation system. This encompassed essential components such as a sump pump, condensation pump, cleanspace vent sealing, and Push Piers to bolster the foundation. These measures aligned perfectly with the keywords: crawl space moisture solutions and crawl space encapsulation system. Following Saber's intervention, Gina's home underwent a significant transformation. With a properly encapsulated crawlspace, Gina now enjoys a safe, clean environment, free from rodent infestations and the unpleasant odors that previously plagued her home.

A homeowner in Trabuco Canyon called Saber to see what an effective solution for her sinking slab would be. Her garage door didn't close completely and there were gaps throughout the area. Saber's project design specialist was able to determine that PolyLevel injection below the garage slab would be the most efficient means to solve the problem.  Saber's PolyLevel crew was dispatched to the homeowner's property to lift the slab. Once the job began, the crew drilled small holes into the slab and as PolyLevel was injected underneath, the level of the concrete was closely monitored until the maximum expected lift was achieved. The holes were then patched with concrete, and the slab was at full load bearing weight in less than an hour. The customer was impressed with the quickness of the crew's work and was able to close her garage door completely.

Over the years living in their home, a family in Trabuco Canyon, Ca. noticed cracks in their interior walls and their floors were uneven in some areas. Their backyard patio slab was also cracking in areas. After reading Saber's outstanding online reviews, they called them for a free foundation inspection and estimate. It was found by Saber's Project Design Specialist that the home's foundation had indeed settled, leaving the home unlevel. It was recommended that hydraulic push piers be installed at certain locations around the house in order to lift the home and prevent further settling. As for their back patio, PolyLevel polyurethane foam was recommended to lift the cracked sunken slab. Once the production crew was on site, the work began. As brick and other cover were removed in order to dig holes for the piers, the foreman on the job site upgraded the project by adding 2 additional piers. The homeowner was confident that his home was in good hands and would have a permanent fix to his family's problem. Along with the holes for each pier, a 10X2 foot trench was dug for steel beam supports. The second day saw more trenching as well as the holes dug for the final two piers of the project.  The next day, the homeowner was present for the lifting of his family home. After the home was stabilized, Saber's PolyLevel crew came in and assessed the patio. A small Poly rig completed 3in. void fill after drilling through grout lines. The injection of the foam went smoothly. All in all, 35 units of PolyLevel was used in the project. After the patio work was complete, both crews worked together to backfill over the piers and clean the job site.  Overall, the homeowner and his family were pleased with the outcome of the project. Now they could rest assured that their home would stay level and their children would be able to play on their outdoor patio without tripping or catching toys on cracks.

Homeowners in Oceanside, CA, noticed some signs of settlement throughout their home.  They were having issues with the opening and closing of windows and doors, and other signs included the cracking of the slabs and cracks in walls or the interior and exterior of the home.  The homeowners knew it was now time to take action, before the issues became much more severe.  The homeowners did some research and found Saber to be the best choice.  The design specialist from Saber was scheduled to do a property evaluation for the homeowners.  The design specialist proposed to the homeowners, to repair the foundation.  The proposal was to remove concrete and add push piers at the foundations footings in specific locations around the property, then a lift would be attempted and PolyLEVEL™ would be injected beneath the foundation to further stabilize the property from and future settlement.   Once the proposal was approved and signed by the homeowner, the Saber crew was scheduled to complete the project.  The Saber crew showed up at the jobsite and began work immediately.  Ten areas of concrete was removed so that the soils around the foundation could be excavated.  Once the excavation was completed the crew then installed the push piers at each location.  The piers were then set up to start the lift of the property once the lift was completed the PolyLEVEL™ was injected beneath the foundation to prevent the property from future soil settlement.  Once the void had been filled the crew then filled the holes that had been excavated and the concrete that was removed was replaced with fresh new concrete.  The homeowners no longer will see the signs of settlement, the doors and windows that were once hard to open and close will no longer be an issue. 

Oceanside resident Angela contacted Saber regarding loose floor tiles in her kitchen. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Angela's Home. We discovered cracks in the Slab Foundation of the home. This home was built in the 60's. These cracks were caused by shifting soils. Our Crew, removed square portions of the concrete walkway outside of the home. WE disposed the concrete debris. The crew then excavated dirt down to the base of the home's Foundation.
