Job Stories

A home in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. previously had foundation work done years prior the current family contacted Saber. Over time, the homeowners had noticed that a few of their doors didn't shut completely square within their frames. There were also many cracks along the interior walls of their home. Their fireplace had begun to separate from their home's walls on the interior of the home, while the chimney was gradually pulling away from the outside wall. Upon calling Saber and having a free inspection of their home, it was determined that the home needed many stabilizing piers to prevent further settlement of the foundation. At the start of the project, the homeowners walked the whole work area, discussing with the foreman the project ahead. In order to install a few of the piers, the family's 4' concrete walkway needed to be removed. Further into the project, it was found that a previous owner of the home had mud jacking performed under the foundation to support the home. The slurry needed to be removed in order to provide Saber's correct and permanent fix on their home.  Along with the stabilizing piers, steel beams were installed underneath in order to further support the home. After the project was completed, the crew cleaned their job site and replaced the removed concrete walkway over the installed piers. The homeowners walked the final result of their home's foundation project. They were very glad to finally have their home level, the cracks in walls closed, and the doors line up in their frames.

He wanted to remodel his home, and had found that the foundation was cracked in several areas. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Jason's home.

Our crew excavated holes next to these areas that were sinking. The crew attached Push Piers to the base of these sinking areas. The attached picture is a installed Push Pier. Then the Piers were pressurized, which Lifted these previously sinking areas back into consistant elevation with the rest of the Foundation. Then Saber used our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process to fill in the voids, that the shifting soils had created. The Piers strengthened, and the PolyLevel stabilized Jason's Foundation. Jason was happy with the results.

Ms. Mitchell, a resident of Palmdale, California, had noticed cracks inching along the upper walls of her home, as well as cracks in her footings. She knew that these were symptoms of soil settlement or foundation problems and wanted to make sure that her foundation was stable and level. After researching to learn the best way to remedy her situation, she contacted Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions. After calling Saber, the team met with Ms. Mitchell and agreed to install 7 push piers to stabalize her foundation; 3 inside her garage, 3 along the side of the home, and one in the rear. In order to install the piers, concrete needed to be removed. After push pier installation was completed, Saber took great care in repouring and replacing the concrete. Ms. Mitchell left us a glowing review and appreciated the hard work and due diligence of Manager Trevar Akins, Foreman Alvin Rodriguez, and team members Dimitri, and Mike. She stated 'It almost looks like it was never touched. Thank you for keeping me in the loop on the job progress and showing up on time.'

Palmdale resident Jalmet contacted Saber regarding bad crack issues in his garage floor. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a free homeowner inspection. Replacing the concrete in the garage would not have fixed this issue. The shifting soils were causing the garage foundation to weaken and shift.

These Foundation Piers not only strengthen, but provide long term stability to the home. The attached picture shows a installed Helical Pier. Jalmet was happy with the result.

A Sylmar resident was having a problem with uneven slabs on his patio and pool deck. He had heard of Saber and it's stellar online reputation for giving honest imspections and providing reasonable estimates for the right fix. Upon observing the customer's problem, a Saber Project Design Specialist determined that an application of Polylevel would be the best way to level his slabs without intrusive grinding or concrete replacement.  After Saber's production crew came out to meet with the customer and explain the process of the tailored solution, the PolyLevel was applied through discreet holes in the slab (which were then patched over). Within a short amount of time, the slab was ready to walk upon and the customer was delighted with the final results. He stated that now he could entertain without worry of injuries from tripping or ugly concrete.
