Job Stories

A homeowner in Costa Mesa had contacted Saber regarding the settlement of their home.  The homeowner had noticed that cracks were beginning to form in the interior walls of the home as well as in the homes slab.  A Saber design specialist was scheduled to evaluate the property.  The finding of the evaluation showed that the home did have settlement issues, as suspected.  It was proposed to the homeowner that PolyLEVEL™ be added beneath the homes foundation to add stabilization of the property and to prevent any future settlement.  The homeowner knew that the issues needed to be resolved, Saber was then contracted to repair the foundation.  The Saber crew was scheduled to repair the homes settlement issue.  The Saber crew arrived at the home and went straight to work.  They injected PolyLEVEL™ up to seven feet below the existing slab into the soil for greater bearing capacity and soil stabilization, followed by injection of a closed cell, high density expanding structural polyurethane resin directly beneath the existing slab to attempt lift to maximum practical recovery.  Once the PolyLEVEL™ was injected and set up, the crew needed to repair some of the cracks that had formed in the slab. Crack repair by perpendicular saw cutting of crack and installing steel concrete staples 18"o.c. and a two component epoxy was completed by the crew.  The home is now stabilized from future settlement, and the cracks have been repaired. 

Costa Mesa homeowner Susan A. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of her home, and sinking concrete walkways. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Susan's home. Voids had formed, caused by shifting soils under the foundation of the home, and the walkways. Our crew excavated holes next to Susan's home, where the voids had formed. Foundation Piers were installed at the base of the Foundation. Lifting Jacks were then used to pressurize the Piers. This lifted the areas of the Foundation, that had sunk. The attached picture shows the Pier with the air jack attached.The holes were filled in. Then Our crew drilled holes through the concrete slab walkways, and into the voids. Sabers State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process was used to fill the voids.  Susan was happy that her home and it's walkways, now have constant elevation.  

Robert Licon, a homeowner in Long Beach California has lived in his 70-year-old home for the past 5 years. They recently had a home inspection and learned there is a crack in their foundation which can be a big problem during an earthquake. Robert and his wife understood the seriousness of the problem and called us right away to do Seismic Retrofitting to properly reduce their risks. They didn’t want to deal with any further issues that can be caused by the crack and really wanted peace of mind when they are thinking of their home. They were aware of our reputation and knew we will give them redefining service and leave them saying WOW. Our Foreman Bryan installed 4 new posts with pads and caps, a 15-foot supplemental beam, a single foundation wall strap to address their crack. These fixes now make the home much safer and have reduced the risk of damage if an earthquake were to happen. Now Robert and his wife can have that peace of mind that they wanted from having a safer home.

Homeowner Robert L moved into their 1950s home in SD roughly 5 years ago. Recently they had an inspection of their property and the inspector discovered that there was a foundation crack and recommended that they had a foundation repair company come and give an estimate. Robert found us and said, “It is important to us that the company we select has a good reputation. – It’s important to my wife that this crack is fixed correctly so that we have peace of mind.” Bryan and his crew installed four new posts with pads and caps, a fifteen-foot supplemental beam, and a foundation wall strap. Robert and his wife were happy with the results and more importantly, they don’t have to worry about having future problems with their home and now can have the peace of mind they always wanted.

Homeowner Carol E. had a massive mold problem in her 1960s home in Long Beach. Her home has had mold remediation done twice in the past six years and now she needs to do it again. Mold remediation is the disposal of moldy porous building materials and involves the cleaning and disinfecting carpet and anything else that can be saved from excessive mold growth within the home. Carol didn’t experience the problem herself; she lives out of state and rents her property. She wanted to make sure that her home didn’t impact the health of her tenants and provide them with ideal living. Her real estate agents wanted her to replace the floor joists as well as other parts of her crawl space to address the issue. Our Project Design Specialist Jason was called in to do the evaluation and found that the crawlspace had over 68% humidity within the crawl space. Jason notified Carol that the real estate agent's suggestion was only a Band-Aid fix and eventually the humidity will cause mold again. Carol agreed with Jason and decided to go along with the project. Bryan A. and his crew took on this project and installed the Cleanspace Service. This service included: 930 square feet of Cleanspace, debris removal, a Cleanspace vent sealing, a custom-fitted Everlast door, an energy-efficient Aprilaire 1820 dehumidifier, a Smart Sump, and some electrical work. Now Carol can have the peace of mind of finally solving her mold issue the right way. 

Homeowner David A. out in Long beach noticed that his driveway was becoming uneven and the cracks were starting to be a real eyesore. He and his wife first noticed the problem a couple of years ago but the concrete was barely uneven and the cracks were very minor. However, now some slabs are settling and the cracks are a terrible eyesore. At this point, the couple knew they needed help. One of our Project Design Specialist Peter G. identified that David would need PolyLevel inserted into two areas of the driveways as well as nearly 400ft of our NexusPro Joint sealant and crack repair. One of our PolyLevel experts Scott L. arrived with his crew, they began with the installation of Poly. The Poly lifted the concrete that has settled and became level to the rest of the concrete. After the Poly was finished Scott would seal all the joints as well as the cracks of the driveway with NexusPro. NexusPro is a sealant that is weather-resistant and never fully hardens. This allows the concrete to be protected and have the best finish possible. David and his wife were extremely pleased, they didn’t expect to get the results that Saber was able to provide. We were happy to provide the couple with a one-of-a-kind experience and showed them that we gave them the best permanent solution.

Homeowner Andrew and Nicole C. in Long Beach contacted us for our PolyLevel service. They have been having issues with their pool deck since they've moved into their home in 2018. They now decided it was time to repair their uneven concrete and improve their pool deck. Project design special evaluated the pool deck and found it will need several areas of lift with Poly and will need to remove all the old sealant to be replaced with our NexusPro sealant. Our PolyLevel specialist Scott L took on this project and installed 91 feet of nexus joint sealant after the old sealant was removed, 59 feet of Nexus crack repair, and lifted 8 areas of the pool deck with Poly. After Scott finished the project the couple was overjoyed by the results and are excited to no longer worry about their concrete around their pool. 

Emily K. reached out to Saber seeking peace of mind amidst frequent seismic activity in her Long Beach home. After living in the home for 12 years and noticing cracks emerging six years into her occupancy, her concern heightened. During the inspection, Saber's meticulous design specialist, John, thoroughly explained the issue and proposed a permanent foundation stabilization plan. Highlighting seismic reinforcement as a crucial component, John aimed to provide a reliable solution addressing Emily K.'s concerns about her home's stability. Impressed by the detailed analysis and proposed solution, Emily K. opted to entrust Saber with rectifying her foundation issue, prioritizing the enduring security of her home. The crew used a 3" push pier and installed a 6 Linear Feet Steel Beam Under Footing - Galvanized to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now Emily K. can enjoy peace of mind knowing her home is secured properly and is well prepared for any future seismic activity.

Ponce and his wife reached out to have help with their 1960s home in Long Beach CA that they recently moved into. They had issues with a smelly and moist Crawlspace underneath their home. They were very concerned about their new investment; they didn’t have the peace of mind they would like to have. One of our talented Foreman Bryan A. installed over 1440 square feet of Cleanspace, removed a ton of debris, properly installed 12 vent sealing, a high-quality condensate pump, a customed fitted Everlast door, a compact high-performance Aprilaire 1820 dehumidifier, and a freshly installed electrical outlet. Ponce and his family were overjoyed and happy with integrity as well as our quality of work. Now the family can enjoy having the peace of mind of knowing that their crawlspace is clean and safe.

Homeowner Wence P. started noticing a problem in his new home in Long Beach that he recently moved into. He started to notice a musky smell coming from his crawl space. After a few months of dealing with the odor, he decided to call Saber to evaluate his problem. Our project design specialist Jason S. found EXTREMELY high levels of humidity. His meter read that the humidity ranged from 77.1 to 81.1 percent of humidity. Having this high of humidity levels is definitely the reason why the homeowner is experiencing problems. Having high humidity will cause mold in the crawl space which is the reason why there is a bad odor. Also, the humidity will cause moisture to affect the floor joists of the home. The wood readings were also very high reaching nearly 19 percent! This will cause even more problems that are far more costly. Wence understood the issues his crawl space was having and agreed to move forward. Bryan A. and his crew took on this project and cleared out all the debris of the home and installed the Cleanspace package. This service took two weeks to complete and included: 1446 square feet of clean space, 12 vent sealings, a condensate pump, a customer-fitted Everlast door, every efficient Aprilaire 1820 dehumidifier, and a new electrical outlet. From this install, Wence now has the peace of mind he was looking for and no longer has to deal with a moldy crawlspace that would eventually have cost him even more money down the road.
