Homeowners in Diamond Bar, Ca had noticed signs of settlement in and around their propriety.  After doing some research on the web for the best way to resolve their foundation settlement issue, they contracted Saber.  A design specialist from Saber went to the home to do a property evaluation and found that the property did have some underlying soils issues which were causing the home to show the signs of settlement, interior and exterior cracks in the walls and the slab.  The design specialist proposed to resolve the issue by installing push piers at 11 different locations around the property and to lift and stabilize the property using PolyLEVEL™.  The crew from Saber worked diligently to complete the project.  There were several areas that needed to have concrete removed in order for the piers to be placed at the proper locations.  The concrete was cut out and then the holes were excavated and the piers were installed.  Once all the piers had been installed the home was lifted to maximum practical recovery, and the then PolyLEVEL™ was used to fill the void that had formed under the foundation once the property was raised.  The homeowners no longer see the signs of settlement and know that their property is once again stable and settlement will no longer be an issue. 

Diamond Bar Tennis Club/ Firstservice Residential contacted Saber regarding Foundation issues in one of their apartments. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of the building. One area of the concrete had a void under it. This was causing substantial cracking in that area of the Foundation only. This was both inside the apartment, and on the patio area.   Our Crew removed the cracked areas of concrete. These cracks were too substantial to used PolyLevel Void Filler to correct the issue. We then prepared the areas where the concrete was removed, and replaced it with new concrete. We also checked to make sure the entire Apartment now has constant elevation. The attached picture shows a area in which the concrete was excavated and replaced.   Julie B. in management was satisfied with the result.

Jennie, a homeowner in Diamond Bar, Calif., became concerned about the structural integrity of her house after finding cracks on the walls and floor. She called Saber Foundation Repair to inspect the foundation and concrete of the property.   Jennie built the house in 1985 and had lived there ever since, so it was important to her that the home remained safe and structurally sound for years to come. Not only was she concerned the cracks in her home's floor and walls were getting worse with time, she also feared an earthquake could cause a huge safety hazard.   A Saber design specialist recommended fixing the foundation and protecting it from further damage by using helical piers. Helical piers are designed to transfer the weight of your home to load-bearing soil or bedrock, permanently stabilizing the home's foundation. He also found voids under concrete slabs, which caused the cracks in the flooring. He recommended using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injected under the concrete that quickly expands to fill any gaps in the soil.   Jennie agreed these solutions would be the best option to permanently fix her concrete and foundation issues, giving her peace of mind.

Homeowners Yolly and Isagani P. in Walnut, CA needed our PolyLevel service for their patio. When they bought their home ten months ago, they knew they would need to fix their issues with their concrete. Since they moved in, they already noticed their back patio getting rapidly worse. They want to fix their concrete to not only to prevent costly repair but to feel safe using their patio. Yolly and Isagani bought this home knowing it was going to be their forever home, the last thing they need is an accident to happen. Our Project Design Specialist John G. found that in order to level the concrete we’ll have to use our PolyLevel solution and fill in any cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant. Raymond R. and his crew completed the installation by installing PolyLevel and 918 square feet NexusPro. The couple was overjoyed by the team’s results. They couldn’t wait to get their grandchildren to play in their patio with the peace of mind of not having any of the old hazards.  

Homeowners in West Covina, had noticed several areas in and around their home that were cause for concern.  There were cracks forming in the interior and exterior walls of the home and the doors and windows were becoming difficult to open and close. The homeowners had received a few bids from other foundation contractors and decided to go with Saber after meeting with the project specialist.  The homeowner was impressed with his professionalism and his overall knowledge of the situation, soon after Saber was contracted and the work began on the home.  The crew had to saw cut and remove some areas of concrete to place the piers in the correct locations around the home for maximum practical recovery.  The concrete was then replaced once the piers had been installed and the home had been lifted.  The homeowners were kept informed of any issues or changes that needed to be made during the process.  Once the piers had been installed and the lift pro formed, the crew then used our PolyLEVEL™ to fill the void underneath the home to prevent any future settlement to occur.  The homeowners no longer see the effects of the settlement; the cracks in the walls have been closed and the doors and windows are no longer hard to open and close.

Inconspicuous holes were bored into key areas in the pool deck and the slab elevations were closely monitored as PolyLevel was injected. Saber's crew was able to level the customer's pool deck quickly. The homeowners were very pleased with the results and how simple the solution and process was.

A home in Upland, California was suffering from serious foundation settlement.  Large cracks in had formed in the slab and walls of the home and areas of the floors were sagging and walls were bowing.  The homeowner was concerned with what was going on with the home, so they began to research options on how to repair or replace the foundation.  They found that replacing the foundation all together would not only be extremely expensive, but also very time consuming, and could possibly only cover the problem, since the real issue is with the soils beneath the foundation.  The homeowner knew that wanted something for a permanent fix, but something that would not break the bank.  The homeowners researched several options and found that Saber with their many years in business and positive reviews would be the best option.  A design specialist from Saber came to the property and competed an evaluation.  The homeowner liked the proposal and set an appointment for the crew to come out and get the work started.  The crew came out to the home and prepped 5 areas where helical piers would be located, 13 areas for push piers and 4 SmartJacks to be added,  in order to repair the foundation of the home.  The holes were excavated and the piers were installed.  Once that was complete the holes were backfilled.  The crew also added SmartJacks to an area of the home that was on a crawlspace to protect the home from any future settlement.
