Saber Lifts and Levels Santa Clarita Patio

Challenge

In Santa Clarita, a homeowner noticed her back patio had shifted from its original position. She planned to sell her house and find something more affordable. Her main goal was to get an offer for the full value of her home.

Her house was built in 1988, and she had lived there for 21 years. Over time, she saw the patio shifting more each year. The concrete was sinking in some areas, showing cracks, and the joints collected weeds and debris. Water gathered on the sinking concrete, causing erosion around the home's structure.

Solution

The homeowner opted for repairing the concrete rather than replacing it. This choice made more sense economically and time-wise. Repairing the concrete promised to restore its original look with minimal disruption. Remarkably, the patio could be used again in just half an hour.

With the repair plan set, Saber's concrete repair team went to work.

Their process began with a thorough cleaning of the concrete slabs to remove dirt and debris. Next, they utilized a special foam, known as PolyLevel, exclusive to Saber Foundation Repair in Southern California. This foam was injected beneath the sunken slabs and expanded, lifting the concrete back into its original position. The quick curing of the foam ensured the concrete stayed in place.

Additionally, the team sealed all the cracks and joints using a specialized caulk, carefully matching its color to the concrete. This step prevented further water from seeping under the slabs.

The result was a concrete patio that looked and felt brand new. This solution effectively addressed the issues without the downtime or hefty expense of a complete replacement, leaving the homeowner delighted with the outcome.
