Job Stories

Homeowners in Diamond Bar, Ca had noticed signs of settlement in and around their propriety.  After doing some research on the web for the best way to resolve their foundation settlement issue, they contracted Saber.  A design specialist from Saber went to the home to do a property evaluation and found that the property did have some underlying soils issues which were causing the home to show the signs of settlement, interior and exterior cracks in the walls and the slab.  The design specialist proposed to resolve the issue by installing push piers at 11 different locations around the property and to lift and stabilize the property using PolyLEVEL™.  The crew from Saber worked diligently to complete the project.  There were several areas that needed to have concrete removed in order for the piers to be placed at the proper locations.  The concrete was cut out and then the holes were excavated and the piers were installed.  Once all the piers had been installed the home was lifted to maximum practical recovery, and the then PolyLEVEL™ was used to fill the void that had formed under the foundation once the property was raised.  The homeowners no longer see the signs of settlement and know that their property is once again stable and settlement will no longer be an issue. 

Diamond Bar Tennis Club/ Firstservice Residential contacted Saber regarding Foundation issues in one of their apartments. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of the building. One area of the concrete had a void under it. This was causing substantial cracking in that area of the Foundation only. This was both inside the apartment, and on the patio area.   Our Crew removed the cracked areas of concrete. These cracks were too substantial to used PolyLevel Void Filler to correct the issue. We then prepared the areas where the concrete was removed, and replaced it with new concrete.

Jennie, a homeowner in Diamond Bar, Calif., became concerned about the structural integrity of her house after finding cracks on the walls and floor. She called Saber Foundation Repair to inspect the foundation and concrete of the property.   Jennie built the house in 1985 and had lived there ever since, so it was important to her that the home remained safe and structurally sound for years to come. Not only was she concerned the cracks in her home's floor and walls were getting worse with time, she also feared an earthquake could cause a huge safety hazard.   A Saber design specialist recommended fixing the foundation and protecting it from further damage by using helical piers. Helical piers are designed to transfer the weight of your home to load-bearing soil or bedrock, permanently stabilizing the home's foundation. He also found voids under concrete slabs, which caused the cracks in the flooring. He recommended using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injected under the concrete that quickly expands to fill any gaps in the soil.   Jennie agreed these solutions would be the best option to permanently fix her concrete and foundation issues, giving her peace of mind.
