Pauma Valley resident Andrew B. contacted Saber regarding cracking that was forming trip hazards in his concrete walkways. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Shifting soils had created voids under the walkways and the home's foundation. These voids were causing areas of concrete to sink, causing the concrete to weaken and crack. We suggested the installation of Push Piers to the foundation to lift and strengthen it. We also suggested filling the voids with Polyurethane to stabilize the home, and stop the walkways from cracking. Andrew received a copy of both the Saber Homeowner Inspection Report and our 30 day quote.

Homeowner Oliver W. in San Bernardino had major issues with their settlement foundation. His home suffered from sagging floors and cracks throughout his ceiling. He gave us a call and scheduled an appointment with Curtis who is one of our Project Design Specialists. Curtis has spent many years in the industry and was able to notify his family that there was a crack in the home’s slab causing their sagging floors as well as the cracks in the ceiling. Curtis was able to offer the home our foundation pier system which will counteract all their problems and stabilize their home as if it were new! Oliver was overjoyed about the solution and said, “This company is great! Curtis Larson was extremely courteous, honest, and professional. Prior to his estimate, he sent me information about the services his company provides, and when he arrived, he was very thorough in his inspection of my house. He was honest and very communicative. I HIGHLY recommend Saber!” We are so happy that we were to WOW him with our service and so proud that our specialist was a perfect example of how we are redefining our industry!

Ian W. reached out to Saber due to concerns about a sloping floor, cracking, and creaking in his duplex property. Worried that these issues might lead to a potential cave-in, Ian relied on this property for additional income. The duplex, constructed in 1927, showed signs of foundational problems, which became evident to Ian within his two years of owing the property. He understood that the foundation's condition was unlikely to improve on its own. Our design specialist, John, checked everything and found cracks and sinking in the crawl space. To make things better, he suggested a special way to seal and strengthen the crawl space. This would help lift the sagging floors and make the house stronger. Our skilled crew replaced old posts with better ones and fixed them properly to the beams. Now, Ian feels better knowing his home is safer, and his property is protected for the future.

A home in Ramona, Ca was suffering from spider web-like cracks in the garage that were progressively getting bigger over time. The homeowners also were concerned about the horizontal cracks in their driveway and the fact that one corner of the driveway had dropped and split about 1/4". They called Saber to come out for a free estimate and solution to their problem.  Saber, after their inspection of the driveway and garage, determined that PolyLevel would be the best solution to the problem the homeowners were having. There was no lift necessary, but the foam was used to stabilize the garage floor and the driveway slabs. Once work got underway, small holes were drilled in strategic areas within the garage and driveway, where PolyLevel foam was injected, stabilizing the concrete. The holes were then patched, making them barely noticeable. After the final cleanup was completed, the customer reviewed the work done and was pleased with the results.

Ramona resident Christine G. contacted Saber regarding Cracking and seperation on her Pool Deck from her Swimming Pool. SeeSaber's Project Design Specialist discovered, that Voids had formed under some of the Deck's Concrete Slabs, during his Inspection. These slabs were sinking. Saber's crew drilled holes through the sinking slabs, and into the Voids. Injection Ports were attached to these holes. The crew then used Saber's State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process to fill these Voids with Polyurethane. This lifted the slabs back to a consistant Elevation. Problem solved, no more cracking and separating.

Homeowner Robby T. discovered a crack in his slab when he picked up the carpet in the back room of his home. The slab had significant cracking that was only going to get worse. Project Design Specialist Paul D. evaluated the situation and recommended a solution of NexusPro crack repair with Rebar reinforcement, along with PolyLevel to lift the slab and fill the voids. Foreman Scott and his crew came out and completed the project to permanently stabilize the slab floor. Robby was very happy with the results. He writes, "Had a great experience with Saber! From the initial inspection with Paul and follow-through all the way till the end. Scott the foreman was awesome! Foundation repair went smooth and not as devastating as I thought. Thank you!" At Saber, we do everything we can to ease the burden for our homeowners. Now Robby can have peace of mind, knowing that he is on solid ground.     

in 2013, Mrs. T, a homeowner in Perris, CA was having major settlement issues. Upon searching online, she found that Saber had the excellent reviews and track record that she was looking for in a contractor to fix her foundation issues. When the Design Specialist arrived at her home, after the office staff ensured that the complete 90 minute inspection of her home would answer any of her concerns and questions, he was able to determine the best solution. Mrs. T's main concern were the large cracks on the walls in the middle of her home. There was significant sinking in that area, shown to her through manometer readings. It was also found that PolyLevel Injection was needed to level concrete slabs that had settled on her property. Upon arriving to begin the homeowner's project, Saber's production crew went over her questions and concerns in regards to what she wanted the end result to accomplish. They also promised to communicate with her frequently throughout the duration of the project, keeping her abreast of progress, concerns, or changes. The foreman was able to show Mrs. T how the piers successfully stabilized her home, particularly her fireplace area, effectively closing he cracks in her walls. Overall, Mrs. T was happy with the end result of the piering portion of her project. The PolyLevel foreman was also able to successfully and unobtrusively lift and level her driveway and patio slabs. Saber scheduled and executed service visits over the subsequent two years, checking to be sure Saber's work was still successful and secure. On the first customer revisit, in 2015, there was proven to be no significant cracking in the walls and the manometer survey did not show any further settlement since the original survey, 2 years prior. February 2016 saw a second proactive service call that ensured that Mrs. T's home had indeed lifted in the areas where deep injection of PolyLevel had been applied into concrete slabs and no further settlement was observed.
