The Homeowner’s Concern Grant, a homeowner in Laguna Niguel, had been living with a large, noticeable crack running across his garage floor. Over time, the slab had also developed uneven sections, creating both an eyesore and a potential tripping hazard. Like many homeowners in Southern California, Grant knew that concrete issues in the garage often signal underlying soil settlement or voids beneath the slab. For a homeowner, the garage is one of the most frequently used spaces in the home. It’s where cars are parked, tools are stored, and projects get done. A cracked and uneven slab not only takes away from the home’s overall value but also puts daily functionality at risk. Concerned that the problem could worsen, Grant reached out to Saber Foundation Repair for a permanent solution. Inspection & Findings When Saber’s team arrived, they began with a full inspection of the garage slab, measuring the extent of the damage and evaluating soil conditions beneath the concrete. The findings were clear: A large crack had split across the garage floor. Unevenness indicated that sections of the slab had settled. Voids were detected under the concrete, reducing its ability to bear weight. In Southern California, it’s common for soils to shift due to changes in moisture, earthquakes, or the natural breakdown of fill soils beneath slabs. In Grant’s case, the combination of settlement and voids beneath the 400-square-foot garage slab left 88 square feet of concrete in need of professional repair. Recommended Solution Saber’s design specialist recommended a comprehensive repair plan tailored to address both the cracks and the underlying soil issues. The plan included: PolyLevel® Injection – 39.50 lbs of high-density polyurethane foam to lift, level, and stabilize the slab. Composite Crack Stitching – 30 feet of reinforcement to restore strength to the cracked slab and prevent future separation. Void Fill – 200 square feet of material injected under the slab to stabilize the base and eliminate hollow pockets. This solution not only addressed the visible cracks but also tackled the root cause — soil instability beneath the garage floor. Repair Process The project began with carefully mapping the slab and drilling small injection ports where PolyLevel foam could be applied. Saber’s crew used specialized equipment to inject the foam beneath the slab. As the material expanded, it gently lifted the sunken sections back into place while permanently filling voids. Once the slab was stabilized, the team moved on to the crack stitching process. This involved cutting precise channels across the crack and embedding carbon fiber composite strips. These strips were then sealed with structural epoxy, tying the slab back together and adding long-term durability. The repair area totaled 88 square feet — a focused but significant section of the garage floor. Despite the scale of the work, the process was minimally invasive, completed in a short timeframe, and left the garage clean and functional once again. Results & Benefits By the end of the project, Grant’s garage slab was transformed. The once-large crack had been structurally reinforced, the unevenness corrected, and the slab stabilized against future settlement. With voids beneath the slab now filled, the concrete had a solid base that would resist further movement. The benefits of Saber’s repair included: Improved Safety – No more trip hazards from uneven concrete. Restored Durability – Reinforced cracks prevent spreading and future damage. Stronger Foundation – PolyLevel and void fill stabilized the soil beneath the slab. Increased Value – A clean, level garage floor adds to the home’s overall curb appeal and marketability. For Grant, the peace of mind that comes with knowing his slab is secure is just as important as the visual improvement.

A homeowner's association in San Pedro needed immediate help with a concrete walkway problem at one of their communities in San Pedro, Ca. Many of the concrete slabs making up the community walkways were cracked or uneven. Residents were tripping and the unsightly damaged concrete made the property look old and unkempt. After walking the property, Saber's trained concrete specialist determined that concrete grinding would be the best solution for most of the communities problems. Of the slabs, only a few needed complete removal and replacement. Over the course of 6 days, Saber's grinding foreman came out to grind down 89 misaligned (uneven) joints between slabs. Saber took the time to be sure all concrete was leveled with little disruption to the community's residents.  After the grind, Saber's concrete crew arrived to remove and replace 270 sq. ft. of concrete throughout the large community. Upon completion of the project, the job site was cleaned and the HOA and property manager were able to walk the property with the foremen to ensure they were pleased with the results. Now, residents and their families could live in a community free from uneven concrete trip hazards and feel a sense of pride in where they live.

A home in San Pedro, Ca., built in the 1940s was in dire need of a lift. The homeowners had been living there since 1999 and over the past year and a half, noticed cracks along their doorways as well as on the walls. on the exterior of the home, the foundation had begun to crack and fall apart. Safety had become a concern for the family, and they wanted a solution to stop any further damage to their home. After getting estimates and solution options from a few contractors, they chose Saber and their permanent solution to fix their home. Because the home had experienced about .5" of soil settlement, seventeen 1'-3' SmartJacks were needed along with 124 feet of steel support beams in order to stabilize the sagging floors above their crawlspace. Six Hydraulic push piers were also inserted along the outside of the home in order to lift the foundation to maximum practical recovery. Without these services, the home was guaranteed to continue to sink, jeopardizing the stability of the home itself.

Project Design Specialist Jason S. inspected the foundation and recommended the installation of a 16 ft. metal beam to provide supplemental floor support. The beam would be supported by three SmartJacks. The SmartJack System includes heavy-duty threaded rods which allow for adjustment and a custom fit for each jack.

A home in El Segundo, California was suffering from serious foundation settlement.  Large cracks had formed in the slab and walls of the home.  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.  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 6 areas where piers would be located 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 cracks that had formed around the home were then filled using an epoxy injection.  The crew also injected PolyLEVEL™ beneath the homes foundation to fill any voids that may have formed, and to protect the home from any future settlement.
