in 2013, Mrs. T, a homeowner in Perris, CA was having major settlement issues. Upon searching online, she found that Saber had the excellent reviews and track record that she was looking for in a contractor to fix her foundation issues. When the Design Specialist arrived at her home, after the office staff ensured that the complete 90 minute inspection of her home would answer any of her concerns and questions, he was able to determine the best solution. Mrs. T's main concern were the large cracks on the walls in the middle of her home. There was significant sinking in that area, shown to her through manometer readings. It was also found that PolyLevel Injection was needed to level concrete slabs that had settled on her property. Upon arriving to begin the homeowner's project, Saber's production crew went over her questions and concerns in regards to what she wanted the end result to accomplish. They also promised to communicate with her frequently throughout the duration of the project, keeping her abreast of progress, concerns, or changes. The foreman was able to show Mrs. T how the piers successfully stabilized her home, particularly her fireplace area, effectively closing he cracks in her walls. Overall, Mrs. T was happy with the end result of the piering portion of her project. The PolyLevel foreman was also able to successfully and unobtrusively lift and level her driveway and patio slabs. Saber scheduled and executed service visits over the subsequent two years, checking to be sure Saber's work was still successful and secure. On the first customer revisit, in 2015, there was proven to be no significant cracking in the walls and the manometer survey did not show any further settlement since the original survey, 2 years prior. February 2016 saw a second proactive service call that ensured that Mrs. T's home had indeed lifted in the areas where deep injection of PolyLevel had been applied into concrete slabs and no further settlement was observed.
