Job Stories

Laguna Hills resident Norm D. contacted Saber because he was having issues with his foundation. Saber design specialist Daniel G. took measurements and realized that the footing of the home has dropped and is now causing damage.  Saber Production Manager, Curtis L., and crew arrived at the job on time and ready to work. The crew began by digging the holes around the house for pier placement. Then they installed the Push Piers to secure the foundation of the house. Norm was very happy with the work performed by Curtis and his crew. He left a great review. 

Our Laguna Hills customer Norm D. has lived in his home for more than 30 years. Due to the local soil conditions, he noticed settling in his foundation. Product Design Specialist Daniel G. made a thorough evaluation of the property and pool area. Daniel recommended the installation of 16 push piers, as well as using PolyLevel to lift, level and stabilize the slab in the affected area. Norm decided to proceed with the job. When the job was completed, he noted, "Saber was willing to push the piers as deep as needed with no additional cost. The original estimate was fair and reasonable." Norm also said that the crew's cleanup exceeded his expectations. At Saber, we pay special attention to the cleanup process. The job is not properly completed until the property is left like we found it. That is an important part of our WOW! service.    

Homeowners in Irvine, California, had notice several areas in and around their home that had caused them 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.  Saber was contracted to repair the issues, and the work began on the home.  The crew began by excavating hole around the property to expose the foundation footings,  to place the piers in the correct locations around the home for maximum practical recovery.  Saber installed eight push piers at the designated pier locations.  The crew then drove the piers to solid bed rock beneath the foundation, for this home the crew had to go extra depth, more so then was proposed to hit that solid ground.   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 injected PolyLEVEL™ to fill any voids and further stabilize the home.  The holes were then  backfilled at each pier location.  The homeowners no longer see the effect os the settlement, the cracks in the walls have been closed and the doors and windows are no longer hard to open and close.

Saber was contracted to fix the foundation of a home in San Juan Capistrano, California.  The homeowners had noticed signs of settlement throughout the home, from sticking doors and windows to cracks that had formed in the interior and exterior of the home. The homeowners knew the issues would most likely continue to get worse, so they went on a search for the best solutions to fix their home.  They did a lot of research on line and found that the best option for them was Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions, after reading reviews and contacting the Saber office they knew this is the company they wanted to repair their home.  After the homeowners found Saber they called to set up a property evaluation, the Design Specialist from Saber came to the home and completed a report showing how the problem would be resolved.  once the homeowners signed the proposal the job could be scheduled, the Saber production crew was scheduled to repair the homes foundation.  The crew arrived and began work right away.  They began by excavating holes in nine locations in which the push piers would be installed.  Once the excavation was complete the push piers were driven into the ground at the foundations footings until it hit bedrock beneath the foundation.  The push piers were then bracketed and the job was soon complete, the crew then added PolyLEVEL™ beneath the foundation to fill any voids and add more stabilization to the home and prevent future settlement.  The crews filled the holes and cleaned up the work areas.  The homeowners now have piece of mind knowing that their largest investment is once again stabilized and the signs of settlement are no longer evident. 

Irvine resident Martha H. contacted Saber regarding her fifty year old home. The inside and outside walls were starting to crack. The doors and windows were also starting to jam. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Martha's home. The soils had moved under the home's foundation. This had created voids, which in turn was making areas of the foundation sink, and crack. Saber's crew excavated holes next to the home's foundation. We then attached and pressurized Helical Piers to the base of the foundation. This lifted and strengthened the home's foundation. The attached picture shows a installed Helical Pier. Martha was pleased that the cracks had stopped growing, and that her home's foundation was strengthened. 

Irvine resident Teddie M. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of her home. The home was built in 1979, and the cracks were spreading. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Teddie's home. The Foundation was sinking. Soil movement had created voids and weakened the Foundation. This was causing cracks to spread throughout the walls of Teddie's home. Our crew excavated holes and trenches next to Teddie's home. Steel I Beams were installed under the Foundation. Then Push Piers were installed to lift the Foundation to a consistant elevation. The attached picture shows Push Piers that have been installed to lift part of the Foundation. Prior to the Job starting, Saber got all needed permits and soils reports. Teddie was happy that the cracks had stopped spreading, and that the Foundation was greatly strengthened.

Irvine homeowner Judy M. had a corner of her home sloping downward which is a sign of foundation settlement. Project Design Specialist Paul D. recommended the installation of four push piers to permanently stabilize the corner. Foreman Chris R. and his crew worked on the project. Judy writes, "The service technician was very polite, knowledgeable, and told us what each step was going to be. He sent me a video to watch so we could understand the process better." They were very happy with the result. As far as the cleanup, Judy writes, " We were not surprised the areas were cleaned so well, everything to that point had been great, so we didn't expect anything less. My husband came to me and said, "Did you see how clean they left it?" Saber is committed to providing WOW! service from the beginning to the end of our projects.
