Foundation Repair, Crawl Space Waterproofing & Concrete Leveling in Los Angeles, CA

Solution

To permanently stabilize the home and address the related structural and drainage concerns, the specialists at Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair developed a comprehensive repair plan combining foundation underpinning, concrete lifting and leveling, and crawl space waterproofing improvements.

Helical Pier Foundation Repair

Due to the widespread settlement around the structure, the team installed eight heavy-duty helical piers around the perimeter of the home. These steel piers were advanced deep into stable load-bearing soil beneath the weak upper layers responsible for the settlement.

Despite limited access and tight working conditions around the property, the installation crew successfully stabilized the sinking foundation and helped prevent continued structural movement. The helical pier system permanently reinforced the home’s foundation while improving overall structural support.

Concrete Lifting & Leveling

To repair the sinking patio and driveway slabs, the team utilized PolyLevel® polyurethane foam injection technology. The expanding foam was carefully injected beneath the settled concrete to lift and level the slabs back toward their proper elevation.

This minimally invasive concrete lifting solution helped restore both the appearance and safety of the exterior surfaces while avoiding the need for complete concrete replacement.

To further protect the repaired concrete, the joints and cracks were sealed to help reduce water intrusion beneath the slabs and minimize the risk of future settlement.

Crawl Space Waterproofing & Moisture Control

To improve drainage and moisture management beneath the home, the crew also upgraded the crawl space with a SmartSump™ crawl space sump pump system. This system was designed to help manage water intrusion and protect the crawl space environment from excess moisture buildup.

The crawl space improvements helped create a healthier and more stable environment beneath the home while reducing the risk of future water-related structural problems.

Results

The combination of helical pier foundation stabilization, PolyLevel® concrete lifting, and crawl space waterproofing improvements successfully restored stability to the home and addressed the homeowner’s major concerns.

The unsettling structural noises were eliminated, the sinking concrete was repaired, and the foundation was permanently reinforced against further settlement. The homeowner was especially pleased with the attention to detail and professionalism demonstrated throughout the project as the team worked through challenging access conditions to complete the repairs efficiently and effectively.
