A building off of North Brand Blvd. in Glendale had daily problems. Employees had trouble opening and closing doors due to a sunken foundation due to poor soil conditions. Once Saber had determined teh right fix, Foreman Rick Whitehead and his crew were called in beginning on November 12th. Rooms 1080 to 1085, 1041 to 1043 and the areas surrounding them were the main focus. Visible signs that future problems would occur included large gaps between baseboards and the slab as well as spaces between partition walls and the dropped ceiling. Without PolyLevel structural damage to the upper level of the building would be inevitable. Further foundation damage, cracking and sinking slabs, and trip hazards in lower level high traffic areas would occur. Doors and walls would also need replacement. In the beginning of the project, carpet tile was removed in a 4X4 space so taht Rick and Jacob could have access. Windows were also removed in a central location for rooms 1080 to 1085 and 1041 to 1043 and their areas. This was for easy access of the crew's hoses. Holes were drilled through the slab in the sectioned off areas while a shop vac was used to prevent dust. Ports were placed in each hole and PolyLevel was carefully injected under close observation. The Saber team monitored the slab elevation before, during, and after elevation. After PolyLevel was applied, all areas were cleaned and crews replaced the carpet tile and the windows. Saber's services fixed the office building's foundation issues by bringing the foundation within a half inch of level and fully stabilized. All doors within open, closed, and latched with ease. Gaps between baseboards and the slab were closed completely. Any gaps between the walls and ceiling were also closed. The customer and their team were very satisfied and pleased. They especially took interest in the PolyLevel application and process, which was deemed a complete success!
