Sagging Floors and Bowing Walls
Lisa L. of Green Valley Lake, California, had noticed that the floors in her home were sagging and the walls had begun to bow. The first step she took was locating a foundation company with a great reputation, to fix her issue. After doing her research she set up an appointment, with Saber, for an estimate. The findings were, sagging beams and floor joists caused by weakening of members over time.
Saber scheduled a crew to compete the work for Lisa. The crew installed galvanized adjustable steel Smart Jacks, by digging a 24x24" foundation pit, created an engineered fill, and installed a precast foundation base, and attached and adjusted the Smart Jack. The crew also needed to install new 4x6 wood grider beams for additional reinforcement to existing floor supports. This was accomplished by removing the sub floor to expose the existing beams. The home was lifted to maximum practical recovery, and the sub floor was replaced. The site was then cleaned and the project was complete.

Crawl Space Encapsulation, Drainage, and Dehumidifier Install in Capistrano Beach, Ca
A homeowner in Capistrano Beach, Ca. had been experiencing numerous problems with their home, which rested on a raised foundation. The floors were sagging in certain areas, moisture was accumulating in their crawl space, and odors were starting to form in that area, too. Saber was called to perform the initial inspection of the home and crawl space. It was found that SmartJacks would solve the sagging floor issue and the Sedona dehumidifier along with a drainage system would help with the moisture issues beneath the home.
In order to gain access to install SmartJacks and drainage system beneath the home, dirt, and rocks needed to be removed and relocated from the crawl space. The home was on a slight incline, making the space uneven. Once the crawl space area was free from extra dirt and rocks, trenches were dug for the SmartDrain system. The drainage would divert water from the foundation soils away from the home. Gravel was applied to help filter the groundwater to keep the pipes from clogging. the Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to capture and filter extra moisture in the soils and standing water that may accumulate over time.
After the drainage was covered and dehumidifier installed, a drainage mat was then laid on the dirt floor of the crawl space to further help keep moisture from rising to the surface of the soil and direct it to the drainage system. The crawl space was then encapsulated with CleanSpace to keep the area dry and free from odors and allergens.
The SmartJacks and supplemental beams were installed to level and support the sagging floors. At the close of the project, the homeowner was happy that his flooring was supported and reinforced against any further risk of sagging. Future moisture is being avoided by having a clean and dry area underneath his home. Mold and odors also won't have a chance to form after the installation.
