Job Stories

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.

Mary C. of Sylmar noticed that she had slab cracks, wall cracks, and a misaligned door. She sought answers, and Project Design Specialist Jon P. arrived to help. Jon performed a thorough analysis of her property and recommended the installation of push piers and PolyLevel to stabilize the slab floor as well as the foundation. Mary was very satisfied and writes, "Jon was very knowledgeable, sincere and honest. A very good experience." Mary has elected to go forward with her project, and Saber will continue providing WOW! service along the way.

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. The attached picture shows a Saber crew member Injecting PolyLEVEL. Matt was satisfied with the results, and was able to move forward with the project.

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.
