Job Stories

North Palm Springs resident Daniel D. contacted Saber regarding the cracking of the concrete floors in his home. Our Project Design Specialist found voids under the Foundation. The Foundation was sinking. We recommended Foundation Pier installation to Lift and Strengthen The Foundation. Filling the voids with Polyurethane would further Stabilize the Foundation. Daniel did receive a copy of his Home Inspection Report.

Mountain Center resident Matthew Z. contacted Saber regarding cracks that he was noticing in his foundation and his back deck. His home was built in 1964. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Voids were causing areas of the foundation to sink. This was creating cracks in the concrete and some of the reinfored steel I Beams. Saber recommended installing a Foundation Pier System. This would lift the areas that had sunk and give the foundation a consistant elevation. Matthew now has a copy of Saber's two hour inspection report, and a quote to fix this issue.

Palm Springs resident Sylvie contacted Saber regarding water drainage in a area outside of her home seeping into the structure. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a inspection of Sylvie's home. A void had formed under a section of the slab. The section was sinking. This was creating the standing water issue. Saber's crew drilled holes through the concrete slab and into the void. We then filled the void using our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. This lifted the slab and made the slab elevation consistant. This solved the standing water issue and moisture in the home. The attached picture shows the slab after the PolyLevel Injection Process was used. Sylvie was satisfied with the result.

A quiet ranch-style home in Lucerne Valley, CA 92356 had begun to show troubling signs of distress. Fresh paint could not hide the vertical cracks in the foundation that widened month by month; interior doors dragged on their frames, and one corner of the slab felt noticeably lower than the opposite side. Worry grew as the homeowner realized that acceptable foundation settlement had been exceeded and the safety, value, and comfort of the house were now at risk.   After several short-lived patch jobs and YouTube searches on how to repair a foundation, it became clear that lasting stability demanded professional evaluation. Online searches for “foundation repair near me,” “home foundation inspection near me,” and “residential foundation contractors” kept pointing to Saber Foundation Repair. Reviews praised its thorough foundation inspection, and the promise of a free assessment made contacting the company an easy decision.   Saber’s certified team arrived promptly and performed a detailed structural review, confirming that the home had settled unevenly due to shifting desert soils. Their report outlined why temporary surface patches or basic construction repairs would fail: only deep anchoring could reconnect the structure to competent load-bearing strata. Drawing on products engineered through the Supportworks network, the specialists recommended a combination of galvanized steel push piers and interior slab piers—components expressly designed for settling foundations in Southern CA. The homeowner appreciated the clear, factual explanation: rugged steel push piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket, while slab piers extend to bedrock, offering the best chance to lift and lock the structure in place.   Installation began the following week. Small access pits were dug beside key footing locations; then hydraulic equipment advanced each pier until load-bearing resistance proved the desired depth. Inside, discrete cores were drilled through the slab so matching slab piers could reach stable soil before being grouted and concealed. Throughout the process the crew minimized disruption—Landscaping remained intact, and daily clean-ups left walkways safe. Within two days the final torque readings confirmed full support; the structure was gently lifted, cracks closed measurably, and interior doors swung true again. As the trenches were backfilled, the surface returned to its original appearance—strong and stable. Our pier system will permanently solve your foundation settlement problem indeed felt like more than a slogan.   The transformation was immediate. Floors regained levelness, cosmetic repairs no longer reopened, and the homeowner’s anxiety eased, replaced by confidence in an investment protected for decades. Beyond restoring structural integrity, the project safeguarded property value and eliminated the nagging fear of escalating repair costs—a meaningful win for home improvement renovations.   Stories like this demonstrate why early action matters. Foundation damage rarely improves on its own; delaying repairs can spur larger cracks, sticking windows, and costly slab foundation repair methods down the road. Saber Foundation Repair’s transparent assessments, warrantied materials, and seasoned foundation experts give homeowners the clarity they need to decide—backed by a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty as well as Saber’s own performance guarantee.

Barstow resident Gayla P. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the interior and exterior walls of her home. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough evaluation of Gayla's home. There were voids under the foundation, which was causing the foundation to weaken, and the walls to crack. Our crew used Saber's PolyLevel Injection process to fill the voids under the foundation. We also used Push Piers to lift and strengthen the foundation. Gayla was happy with the completed job, and the clean up.

  Mike E. contacted Saber on behalf of a trust, about a failing foundation. Design Specialist Dan F. took measurements and determined that helical piers would be the best solution for this foundation.  Piering Foreman Adam F. arrived at the job site on time and ready to work. They dug the holes and installed the helical piers in a timely manner, prompting Mike to leave a great review.

A rustic cabin in Sugarloaf, California, had long been a peaceful retreat until the owner noticed widening perimeter cracks and a corner of the foundation that had started to dip after utility work disturbed the surrounding soil. Floors felt slightly lopsided, doors required an extra tug to close, and the faint groan of shifting lumber hinted that the problem was growing. Beyond cosmetic worries, the homeowner feared declining property value and the possibility that a once-charming getaway could become unsafe.   Searching for answers, the homeowner tried patching the visible cracks and even consulted local handymen. Each quick fix faded as the underlying settlement continued. The realization set in: foundation movement demands specialized equipment, engineering insight, and materials designed for structural loads—solutions ordinary contractors simply do not offer.   Saber Foundation Repair entered the picture after the homeowner read consistent five-star reviews praising its thorough inspections and transparent recommendations. A complimentary evaluation uncovered the true extent of settlement, confirmed that one corner had dropped unevenly, and identified a porch slab that was beginning to tilt. Saber’s inspector explained every finding, outlined possible failure modes, and provided a clear price before any commitment was requested, reinforcing the company’s reputation for honesty.   The repair plan combined two proven systems. First, the crew installed four steel push piers, a three-foot supplemental beam, and two interior wall straps to halt downward movement and gently lift the corner back toward its original elevation. Each pier was driven to load-bearing strata so the cabin now rests on stable, uncompromised soils. Second, the team used PolyLevel®, an expanding polyurethane foam, to raise and re-level the porch slab affected by the same settlement. The PolyLevel process—drilling neat ⅝-inch holes, installing ports, injecting high-density foam, and sealing the openings—took only a morning. Because the foam is environmentally safe, waterproof, and exceptionally light, it lifted the concrete without adding weight or allowing future wash-out, outperforming traditional mud jacking.   Once the work was complete, cracks stopped widening, floors became level, and the doors swung true again. The porch slab, once a treacherous trip hazard, now greets visitors on a perfectly even plane. Most important, the homeowner regained peace of mind, knowing the cabin is structurally sound and that the remedy—backed by Saber’s warranty—will outlast fleeting cosmetic patches.   Early action made all the difference. Foundations rarely “heal” on their own; they deteriorate quietly until repairs grow more invasive and expensive. By choosing Saber Foundation Repair, the homeowner secured an expert team that delivered data-driven diagnostics, minimized disruption, and provided technology that marries modern materials with time-tested engineering principles. Today, the cabin stands firm, its value preserved and its longevity assured, joining countless other Sugarloaf homes protected by Saber’s commitment to lasting solutions.

A quiet cabin tucked among Sugarloaf’s tall pines had begun to feel less like a haven and more like a hazard. The homeowner noticed doors sticking, a gentle slope underfoot, and hairline cracks creeping along the interior walls—unmistakable signs that the crawl space foundation beneath the home was losing its grip. Concern mounted: if these symptoms kept spreading, the cabin’s value and safety could slip away with them.   Conventional quick fixes—shimming joists, adding makeshift posts—proved temporary. Each attempt offered momentary relief before the floors drooped again. Online searches for crawl space repair near me revealed plenty of contractors, yet few inspired confidence that they could deliver a solution built to last. Foundation issues, the homeowner realized, demand specialized design, robust materials, and a team that stands behind its work long after the job is done.   That search led straight to Saber Foundation Repair. Favorable reviews highlighted transparent inspections and dependable follow-through, while the offer of a complimentary evaluation promised clarity. During the on-site assessment, Saber’s specialist mapped the subfloor elevations and pinpointed the heart of the problem: overstressed wooden beams in the crawlspace at home had begun to sag, and several original support posts had settled unevenly in Sugarloaf’s rocky soil. The remedy would need strength, adjustability, and corrosion resistance to keep working through the region’s seasonal moisture swings.   Saber recommended the Supportworks SmartJack® system—an engineered assembly of galvanized steel crawl space jacks designed specifically for crawlspace repair. Rated for an allowable capacity of 30 kips and laboratory-tested to much higher ultimate strengths, each SmartJack® would rest on a compacted crushed-stone footing that distributes load and helps the soil maintain bearing power. Unlike ordinary steel columns, SmartJack® components arrive with a triple-layer zinc coating and a threaded adjustment rod; they resist rust and allow future fine-tuning should the home settle further.   Installation proceeded smoothly. After carefully removing loose debris and preparing a stable stone base, Saber’s crew shifted an existing column to the precise point where deflection readings were highest, then added new SmartJacks® beneath the main girder line. By turning the heavy-duty adjustment nut, they lifted the sagging floor joists until interior benchmarks read nearly level—0, 0, and a negligible –0.2 inches—well within the range of maximum practical recovery for a wood-framed structure. The work wrapped up the same afternoon, leaving no mess and requiring only a brief shut-in, so the homeowner could resume daily life without disruption.   The transformation was immediate. Inside, doors glided shut, and once-wavering countertops sat steady. More importantly, peace of mind returned: the crawl space foundation now relies on a support system engineered to handle Sugarloaf’s load demands and protect against moisture-driven rot. Because SmartJacks® are fully adjustable, any future settlement can be corrected quickly—no invasive demolition needed.   Stories like this demonstrate why acting early matters. Foundation and crawl space issues rarely solve themselves; they compound, inviting larger cracks, worsening slopes, and costly structural failures. Saber Foundation Repair earns trust by pairing thorough diagnostics with proven technology and by educating homeowners about what different repair paths really mean for the life of their property. When people search online for crawl space repairs near me or crawl space repair, they deserve a partner that will still be available years down the road to keep their home healthy.   Today, the Sugarloaf cabin stands straight and sure, its cozy barrel sauna once again level beneath the deck and the subfloor solid under every step. The repair not only restored stability but protected long-term property value—a win that stretches far into the future. Saber continues to help homeowners across Southern California safeguard crawl spaces, basements, and slabs, turning anxiety into assurance with every project completed.   If uneven floors, foundation cracks, or musty crawlspaces are making you uneasy, don’t wait for small problems to bloom into major damage. Schedule a professional inspection with Saber Foundation Repair now and discover how a tailored SmartJack® solution—or any of Saber’s specialized methods for crawlspace repair—can give your home the steadfast support it deserves. Your solution is one call away.

A home in the Borrego Springs area was in dire need of Saber's services when they called to schedule an inspection and free estimate. There were doors and windows in their home not closing square, and the concrete around their property was sinking and cracking. The home was on a slab foundation. The project design specialist determined that hydraulic push piers would be the best solution to lift and stabilize the home. PolyLevel was also set as a solution to lift the surrounding walkways and patio area of the home. Once the piering and Polylevel team arrived at the home, they had their work cut out for them. Concrete needed to be removed in order to place the piers under the home, embedding into stable bedrock below the settling soil. Six piers were placed in order to lift and stabilize the home. Concrete was then replaced above the piers. PolyLevel was inserted underneath the sinking concrete areas by drilling small holes and pumping in the PolyLevel, all while closely monitoring the level of the concrete. Once the maximum possible lift was achieved, the holes were patched wiht concrete and the walkways and patio were at full load bearing capability in less than an hour. The homeowners were very pleased with the results and thanked Saber for improving their home life. They were able to close all doors and windows completely, and their slab was level!

Trona resident Merle I. contacted Saber regarding cracks in a home that he was selling. Saber's Project Design Specialist found voids causing Foundation Cracking during his inspection of the home. Saber recommended installing Helical Piers to Lift and Strengthen the Foundation. The we recommended filling the voids with Polyurethane to Stabilize the home. Merle received a written copy of Saber's Home Inspection.
