Saber Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Raised foundation reinforcement using SmartJacks

The homeowner in Los Angeles, CA, had been living in their home since 2012 and started noticing troubling signs of foundation settlement. Over time, cracks began appearing on the exterior walls, and parts of the foundation had sunk by one to two inches. The situation worsened, causing doors and windows to misalign and unsettling noises to echo through the house.

Saber Foundation Repair addressed the foundation settlement by installing eight helical piers around the entire home. These piers were strategically placed to lift and stabilize the foundation, halting any further sinking. Despite the tight spaces around the home, the installation was completed with precision and care.

In the before photo, you can see at the top of the picture that there is cracking on the floor joists. This is because the joists need more support to handle the weight of the home. Since there is not good support for this home, this floor is sagging and causing problems for the homeowner. The after photo shows how we fix this problem with our 350 Smartjack solutions. We attached a supplemental beam to the floor joists that need support with SmartJacks attached to fix any stability issues that the homeowner is having.

The After Picture: Universal Foundation Plates have been installed, to strengthen the connection between the home and it's Foundation. Saber has also sheathed the Foundation walls with metal mesh, behind the plywood, to strengthen the walls.
