A homeowner in Woodland Hills, CA had finally had enough of their too small basin for their sump pump. With the sufficient rains that had been falling in the area, he found that it overflowed into his crawlspace and eventually, the pump itself died. A musty odor began to come up through the house and, when the weather dried, bugs and other creatures were attracted to the moisture under the home. Upon calling Saber, a project design specialist came out to perform a full home inspection. Upon inspecting the crawlspace, it was found that a SmartSump would be the perfect solution to the problem. It was also noted that a SmartPipe 7.5 was required to help further the solution of the homeowner's wet crawlspace problems. Once the production crew came to perform the services, the task only took one day to complete.  The homeowner was happy with the results and finally had an operating sump pump again. His crawlspace is now dry and free of flooding rainwater whenever it rains.

Woodland Hilld resident David contacted Saber regarding cracks that were appearing in the ceiling of his home. He stated that he'd lived in his home for 40 years. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a free, and thorough Homeowner inspection. The soils had shifted under David's home, thus weakening the Foundation. Our crew excavated holes next to the weakened areas of the Foundation. Next, they attached Push Piers to the base of the Foundation, and pressurized them. These Push Piers lifted the parts of the Foundation that were sinking. They also gave the entire Foundation consistant elevation. This stopped the cracking in the ceiling, and gave David and his wife, peace of mind.

The Wasco Water District had old bridges, that were failing. A contractor was hired for the project of building two new vehicle, and one pedestrian bridge crossing these irrigation canals. The contractor contacted Saber to anchor these bridges into the soils. Trenches had already been dug, and framed. Helical Piers approximately 30 feet long were drilled and torqued into the earth. Then 8" x 8" plates were attached to the top of the Piers. The attached picture shows three Piers that have been installed on the right side. Later, another contractor would attach larger plates to the plates Saber installed. Then concrete would be poured into the forms. Saber's preparation work insures that the finished bridge will be solid for several years.
