Job Stories

Bonnie S., a representative of a Long Beach apartment complex, contacted Saber about tree roots that were lifting their concrete and creating trip hazards. Saber Concrete Division Specialist Gilbert S. walked the property with Bonnie and determined that root removal and concrete replacement was the best solution for the job.  Saber's concrete crew removed the damaged concrete, removed the roots and then replaced the concrete. 

Long Beach resident Eric L. sought help from Saber for standing water in his crawl space. Project Design Specialist Daniel G. assessed the situation and recommended  crawlspace encapsulation and installation of a French drain. Eric was pleased with Daniel's visit, writing, "Daniel did a great job. Good representative of your company."  

Homeowner Greta M. of Long Beach was concerned about her foundation after buying her home in 2015. At that time an inspector had advised them that some of the posts in the crawl space had shifted. She could see the results of the shifting in the floor of her guest bathroom. Project Design Specialist Jason S. came out and did a complete evaluation of the crawl space and foundation. He proposed a solution of five helical piers and a supplemental metal beam to provide support and stabilization. Greta was very satisfied with Jason's visit, and writes "Jason was very knowledgeable and thorough. He took his time walking us through everything. We measured all the flooring with an altimeter so we could see exactly what the foundation was doing and how it was settling. He really knew his stuff and was very helpful." Greta will be going ahead with the project. Saber loves to bring peace of mind to homeowners!    

A hospital in Long Beach needed to either repair or replace their walkway due to it sinking.   A contractor for the hospital called Saber Foundation Repair to come out and inspect the concrete slabs. Hospital officials said they would prefer a quick and permanent solution to level and repair the walkway, as opposed to the time-intensive process of completely replacing it. They also knew that even if they replaced the walkway with new concrete, the issue might appear again as it wouldn't address the root of the problem.   Soil conditions are the most common problem for concrete issues. Saber's concrete leveling solution contains a polyurethane foam that would support the concrete slabs from underneath. This would offer support regardless of what was happening with the soil below.   Saber's concrete repair installation team worked quickly and diligently to level all of the slabs in the walkway and bring them back to their original position.

Aliso Viejo resident Noel R. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the exterior wall of his home. Our Project Design Specialist performed a complete evaluation. Our crew strengthened the sinking foundation of Noel's house by using Push Piers.  Noel was happy with the completed job and the clean up.

Tujunga resident Leo H contacted Saber, wanting to make the CrawlSpace of his home into usable storage space. Our Project Design Specialist performed a complete evaluation of Leo's home. Our crew removed some dirt to make this space more accessible. We then lined the basement with CleanSpace plastic. Leo approved of the finished job and the clean up.

A homeowner in Trabuco Canyon called Saber to see what an effective solution for her sinking slab would be. Her garage door didn't close completely and there were gaps throughout the area. Saber's project design specialist was able to determine that PolyLevel injection below the garage slab would be the most efficient means to solve the problem.  Saber's PolyLevel crew was dispatched to the homeowner's property to lift the slab. Once the job began, the crew drilled small holes into the slab and as PolyLevel was injected underneath, the level of the concrete was closely monitored until the maximum expected lift was achieved. The holes were then patched with concrete, and the slab was at full load bearing weight in less than an hour. The customer was impressed with the quickness of the crew's work and was able to close her garage door completely.

Over the years living in their home, a family in Trabuco Canyon, Ca. noticed cracks in their interior walls and their floors were uneven in some areas. Their backyard patio slab was also cracking in areas. After reading Saber's outstanding online reviews, they called them for a free foundation inspection and estimate. It was found by Saber's Project Design Specialist that the home's foundation had indeed settled, leaving the home unlevel. It was recommended that hydraulic push piers be installed at certain locations around the house in order to lift the home and prevent further settling. As for their back patio, PolyLevel polyurethane foam was recommended to lift the cracked sunken slab. Once the production crew was on site, the work began. As brick and other cover were removed in order to dig holes for the piers, the foreman on the job site upgraded the project by adding 2 additional piers. The homeowner was confident that his home was in good hands and would have a permanent fix to his family's problem. Along with the holes for each pier, a 10X2 foot trench was dug for steel beam supports. The second day saw more trenching as well as the holes dug for the final two piers of the project.  The next day, the homeowner was present for the lifting of his family home. After the home was stabilized, Saber's PolyLevel crew came in and assessed the patio. A small Poly rig completed 3in. void fill after drilling through grout lines. The injection of the foam went smoothly. All in all, 35 units of PolyLevel was used in the project. After the patio work was complete, both crews worked together to backfill over the piers and clean the job site.  Overall, the homeowner and his family were pleased with the outcome of the project. Now they could rest assured that their home would stay level and their children would be able to play on their outdoor patio without tripping or catching toys on cracks.

Laguna Woods resident Antoinette B. contacted Saber regarding small cracks in the walls of her home. Sabers Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner inspection. Shifting soils had caused voids beneath the home foundation. We recommended filling the voids with Polyurethane, using Sabers PolyLevel Injection Process. We also recommended using the Nexus Plus Process to fill and seal the cracks. Antoinette received a copy of the Home Inspection Report, and our 30 day quote.

Burbank resident Mitzi C. contacted Saber in regards to cracks in the walls of her home. She also told us that her window and doors were sticking. Our Project Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of Mitzi's home. Our crew replaced deteriorating wood support posts with new metal Smart Jacks. This leveled and strengthened the foundation of Mitzi's home. Our picture shows the Smart Jacks. Mitzi was happy with the result and the clean up.
