Job Stories

A homeowner in San Juan Capistrano had developed some tilted and shifted concrete slabs due to the settling and expansion of the soil and clay that is commonly found in Southern California. The homeowner first thought that the solution would be to demo and re-pour or grind edges which is both expensive and grinding a bit unsightly when the aggregate is exposed.  So after doing some research the homeowner found Saber and the PolyLEVEL™ method, and thought that this was the solution he had been looking for.  He contacted Saber and project specialist was schedule to meet the homeowner at the property to do an evaluation.  The project specialist proper to use the PolyLEVEL™ system to raise the concrete and fix the homeowners problems with the tilted and shifted slabs.  The Saber crew gave an estimate to bring everything level without demolition, and the Saber crew arrived promptly to complete the job. There was  some subsequent shift after a heavy rain and Saber came back out to touch up and they were happy to do it. “Nate and Rick were my technicians and they were professional, cautious and polite.” said the homeowner.  “They respected my property. I highly recommend this company for the residential customer.”  

Saber was contracted to fix the foundation of a home in San Juan Capistrano, California.  The homeowners had noticed signs of settlement throughout the home, from sticking doors and windows to cracks that had formed in the interior and exterior of the home. The homeowners knew the issues would most likely continue to get worse, so they went on a search for the best solutions to fix their home.  They did a lot of research on line and found that the best option for them was Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions, after reading reviews and contacting the Saber office they knew this is the company they wanted to repair their home.  After the homeowners found Saber they called to set up a property evaluation, the Design Specialist from Saber came to the home and completed a report showing how the problem would be resolved.  once the homeowners signed the proposal the job could be scheduled, the Saber production crew was scheduled to repair the homes foundation.  The crew arrived and began work right away.  They began by excavating hole in five locations in which the helical piers would be placed.  Once the excavation was complete the helical piers were driven into the ground at the foundations footings until it hit bedrock beneath the foundation.  The helical piers were then bracketed and the job was soon complete.  The crews filled the holes and cleaned up the work areas.  The homeowners now have piece of mind knowing that their largest investment is once again stabilized and the signs of settlement are no longer evident. 

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.
