George G. of San Pedro bought a home that was built in 1927. Before he moved in, he wanted an evaluation of the home's foundation. Project Design Specialist Jason S. inspected the foundation and recommended the installation of a 16 ft. metal beam to provide supplemental floor support. The beam would be supported by three SmartJacks. The SmartJack System includes heavy-duty threaded rods which allow for adjustment and a custom fit for each jack. Now George can have peace of mind knowing that his home is on a solid foundation. George says that Jason did an awesome job, and he praised the work ethic of the Saber crew as well. We at Saber are happy that we were able to deliver our WOW! service once again.       

Stevenson Ranch resident Devin M. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of their home. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Voids had formed, that were caused by shifting soils under Devin's Foundation. The Foundation was sinking. We suggested installing Push Piers to the Foundation. Once pressurized, these Push Piers will lift the Foundation back into a constant elevation. Then we suggested that the voids be filled with Polyurethane, by using Saber's State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. Devin received a copy of our quote, and our thorough Home Inspection Report.

Reseda resident George M. contacted Saber regarding cracked concrete walkways and cracked walls in his home. These cracks were spreading. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner inspection. The Foundation was sinking into voids, that were created by shifting soils. Saber suggested that Push Piers be attached to the base of the foundation. These would lift the foundation, back to a consistent elevation, when pressurized. This would strengthen the foundation. We then suggested filling the voids with Polyurethane to stabilize the foundation. George received a copy of Saber's Inspection Report, and a quote, which is valid for 30 days.

A home in El Segundo, California was suffering from serious foundation settlement.  Large cracks had formed in the slab and walls of the home.  The homeowner was concerned with what was going on with the home, so they began to research options on how to repair or replace the foundation.  They found that replacing the foundation all together would not only be extremely expensive, but also very time consuming.  The homeowner knew that wanted something for a permanent fix, but something that would not break the bank.  The homeowners researched several options and found that Saber with their many years in business and positive reviews would be the best option.  A design specialist from Saber came to the property and competed an evaluation.  The homeowner liked the proposal and set an appointment for the crew to come out and get the work started.  The crew came out to the home and prepped 6 areas where piers would be located in order to repair the foundation of the home.  The holes were excavated and the piers were installed.  Once that was complete the holes were backfilled, the cracks that had formed around the home were then filled using an epoxy injection.  The crew also injected PolyLEVEL™ beneath the homes foundation to fill any voids that may have formed, and to protect the home from any future settlement. 

El Segundo resident Jack contacted Saber regarding his home, that was built in 1930. There were cracks in the Foundation, Sagging Floors, and he noticed his house was smelling musty. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a complete, free Homeowner inspection of Jack's home. Our crew excavated holes and installed Push Piers to the base of the foundation of Jack's home. This strengthened the home's Foundation. We also installed Seismic Universal Foundation Plates, A35 Framing Angles, and braces to strengthen the connection between the Home and it's Foundation. The attached picture shows a installed Push Pier strengthening a cracked portion of the Foundation. Jack was satisfied with the completed improvements and clean up

Homeowner Chuck B. of El Segundo contacted Saber with his concern about his garage. He noticed an area that had sunk about three inches. Project Design Specialist Jason S. came out to evaluate the situation. Jason proposed a solution of helical piers  to raise the slab along with PolyLevel to provide a permanent solution. Chuck was very happy with Jason. He gave him the highest marks on our survey and wrote, "Excellent presentation and explanation of the problem." Jason was happy to provide Chuck with WOW! service.

Redondo Beach resident Mardi R. contacted Saber. She said , "We were sitting in the living room one evening. We heard loud popping and cracking sounds. We discovered that the floor tiles had buckled. We pulled off the tiles and found that the slab had a crack in it." Our Project Design Specialist inspected the crack in the concrete slab, and then performed a full evaluation of Mardi's home. There was a void under the slab, which in turn had weakened the foundation. Our crew used Saber's State-Of-The-Art Polylevel process to fill the void. We then attached Push Piers to strengthen the foundation of this home. Mardi approved of the work and was happy with the clean up.
