Job Stories

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. Our crew excavated holes that exposed the base of the foundation. We then attached Helical Piers. The holes were filled in and work area was cleaned up. 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.

Manhattan Beach resident Sally S. contacted Saber regarding moisture and standing water in the Crawlspace of her home. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Sally's home. Our crew waterproofed the home's Crawlspace by using CleanSpace material. The CleanSpace material is shown in the attached picture. Sally was happy with the results and the clean up.

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.

A homeowner in Sylmar became concerned after noticing several common warning signs of foundation settlement throughout the home, including slab cracks, wall cracks, and a misaligned door. These symptoms often indicate structural movement caused by unstable supporting soils beneath the foundation and slab system. Seeking a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair for a professional foundation inspection and structural evaluation. During the inspection, Saber’s foundation repair specialists performed a detailed analysis of the property to determine the source and extent of the settlement affecting the home. The inspection confirmed that portions of both the slab floor and foundation system were experiencing settlement-related movement due to weakened soil support beneath the structure. As sections of the foundation shifted unevenly, stress transferred throughout the home, resulting in cracking and structural misalignment. To permanently stabilize the home, the team recommended a customized repair plan utilizing heavy-duty steel push piers combined with PolyLevel® polyurethane foam injection technology. The push pier system was designed to transfer the structural load of the home onto deeper, stable load-bearing soil beneath the weak upper soil layers responsible for the settlement. Once installed, the push piers help permanently stabilize the foundation while reducing the risk of continued movement and structural damage. To further stabilize the slab floor, PolyLevel® polyurethane foam injection was used to fill underlying voids and improve support beneath the concrete. The lightweight expanding foam helps lift and stabilize settled slab areas while restoring support beneath the structure without adding excessive weight to the soil.   By combining push pier foundation stabilization with PolyLevel® slab support technology, Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair provided this Sylmar homeowner with a long-term structural repair solution designed to restore stability, improve safety, and protect the property from future settlement-related damage throughout Southern California soil conditions.

Saber was contacted by Matt regarding being used as a Sub -Contractor. The Foundation Slab, of the Government Building, had voids under it from settling dirt. Saber's Project Design Specialist completed a full evaluation of this work site. Our crew drilled holes in the concrete slab where the voids had formed. The Saber used our State- of- the- Art PolyLEVEL Injection Process to fill the voids. This lifted the areas of the slab that had sunk.

Sheman Oaks resident Edgar contacted Saber regarding his home remodel room addition. The remodeled part of the home had floors that were sinking. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough and Free homeowner inspection. We discovered that areas of the Add On Foundation were sinking, creating voids udder the room that was added. Saber's crew excavated holes and installed Push Piers to the sinking areas of the Foundation. These Piers lifted the areas that had sunk. Then we used Saber's State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection to fill the void under the low spots of the floor. The attached Picture is a installed Push Pier Lifting, Stabilizing, and Strengthening Edgar's Foundation. Now both the inside and the outside of Edgar's home are at a constant elevation.

Sherman Oaks homeowner Christine B. knew that her crawlspace had an issue with moisture. She wanted a quote for a dehumidifier as well as an evaluation of the crawl space. Project Design Specialist Jason S. inspected the crawlspace and took pictures, measurements, and moisture readings. Jason recommended our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. With the installation of CleanSpace, the issues of mold, moisture, insects, and drainage will be remedied. Energy bills will also be lowered. Christine writes, "Jason did a wonderful job! He took the time and went throughout the entire space. We appreciate the time Jason spent and feel that your company is one of the best in the city! Thank you."  At Saber, we seek to give our customers quality WOW! service. We are happy to have succeeded once again.
