Shifting Soils in Murrieta Causes Trip Hazard
Murrieta resident Susan contacted Saber about Trip Hazards in her driveway. She told us that they had already tried grinding the concrete smooth, and the problem continued to get worse. Sabers Project Design Specialist completed a thorough inspection of Susan's Home. The soil was shifting under the driveway. This had created voids, and had caused one of the concrete slabs to start sinking. The attached picture shows what voids do to concrete slabs.
Our crew drilled holes through the sunken slab and into the void. Then we filled the void with Polyurethane, using our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. This raised the slab that had sunk. Last of all we filled in the drilled holes, and the spaces between the slabs using the Nexus Plus Caulk filling.
Susan and her husband were glad that this safety hazard no longer existed.

Murrieta resident Tim R. contacted Saber regarding sticking doors and windows in his home. Saber's Project Design Specialist found a very large Void, under the Foundation of Tim's home, during our Inspection. Please see the attached picture. The Foundation was weakening, and sinking into this Void.
Our crew excavated holes next to the Foundation and attached Push Piers to the Foundation. When pressurized, the Piers Lifted and Strengthened Tim's Foundation. Then we filled this void with Polyurethane, to keep it from expanding. This also Stabilized Tim's Foundation.

Sump Pump and Basin Replacement in Woodland Hills
A homeowner in Woodland Hills, CA had finally had enough of their too small basin for their sump pump. With the sufficient rains that had been falling in the area, he found that it overflowed into his crawlspace and eventually, the pump itself died. A musty odor began to come up through the house and, when the weather dried, bugs and other creatures were attracted to the moisture under the home.
Upon calling Saber, a project design specialist came out to perform a full home inspection. Upon inspecting the crawlspace, it was found that a SmartSump would be the perfect solution to the problem. It was also noted that a SmartPipe 7.5 was required to help further the solution of the homeowner's wet crawlspace problems. Once the production crew came to perform the services, the task only took one day to complete.
The homeowner was happy with the results and finally had an operating sump pump again. His crawlspace is now dry and free of flooding rainwater whenever it rains.
