Driveway and Garage Issues in Newhall
Newhall resident Marc S. contacted Saber regarding his garage floor cracking and not being level. He also had issues with the concrete slabs on his driveway seperating and cracking. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Voids were found both in the garage and under the driveway. We recommended drilling doles through the concrete and into the voids. Then we would fill the voids with Polyurethane using our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. This would eliminate future cracking and slab seperation. We provided the inspection report and a quote that is good for up to 30 days.
Cracks in the Driveway and Foundation of a Home in Winnetka
Winnetka resident Abdul Z. contacted Saber regarding cracks in Home Foundation and Driveway. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. The home's Foundation was sinking into voids that had formed from shifting soils. The Driveway also had voids under it, that areas of concrete were sinking in to. Saber suggested attaching Push Piers to the Foundation to provide lift and strengthen it. We also recommended filling the voids under the driveway and Foundation with Polyurethane. This would lift and stabilize the concrete. Abdul received a written copy of Saber's Home Inspection Report.
Quoting Pool Deck Replacement in Porter Ranch
Porter Ranch resident Avo S. contacted Saber regarding a wood pool deck, that had dry rot, that he was trying to replace. Avo wanted a more permanent solution than wood replacement. Saber's Project Design Specialist inspected this situation. We quoted removing and disposing the entire wood deck, and replacing it with concrete. Avo received the inspection report, and Saber's quote that is valid for 30 days.
Fixing a Cracked Concrete Foundation in Apple Valley
Apple Valley resident Jack T. contacted Saber regarding cracking in the concrete slab Foundation of his home. He had previously tried to repair this issue himself, by trying to grind the concrete. This didn't level the Foundation like he hoped. Jack told Saber that he was looking for a permanent solution to this issue. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection, and provided a written evaluation of how to fix this issue. The soils had shifted under the slab. This had created voids. Parts of the slab were sinking, which was causing the cracking. The attached picture shows the home's foundation before we started our work.
Saber's Crew drilled holes through the slab and into the voids. Then, using Saber's State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process, we filled the voids with polyurethane. This raised the areas of the slab that had sunk. Now the entire home Foundation had a constant elevation.
Jack was pleased with the results. Saber had solved his problem, and gave him peace of mind.
From Dirty Space to CleanSpace in Murrieta
Homeowners in Murrieta, California were looking for a way to make their dirty musty crawlspace more energy efficient and possibly use it for added storage. They contracted Saber to take their dirty crawl space and make it a CleanSpace. With the CleanSpace encapsulation by Saber, they were able to achieve their goal.
A dirt filled crawl space adds a continuous stream of water vapor into your home, and any underground leakage lays in the crawl space slowly evaporating into the home. This home also has a block wall which in most homes, this is the easiest and cheapest material to build a foundation, however; they are also the least resistant to water and air going through them since there are so many joints in the wall. So like it or not you are breathing dirt crawlspace air. No longer for these homeowners, with the CleanSpace encapsulation system, installed by Saber, these homeowners know are breathing clean air and have a nice “clean” crawlspace to use for storage.
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.
Large Void in Murrieta
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.
Strengthening a Home Foundation in Woodland Hills
Woodland Hilld resident David contacted Saber regarding cracks that were appearing in the ceiling of his home. He stated that he'd lived in his home for 40 years. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a free, and thorough Homeowner inspection. The soils had shifted under David's home, thus weakening the Foundation.
Our crew excavated holes next to the weakened areas of the Foundation. Next, they attached Push Piers to the base of the Foundation, and pressurized them. These Push Piers lifted the parts of the Foundation that were sinking. They also gave the entire Foundation consistant elevation. This stopped the cracking in the ceiling, and gave David and his wife, peace of mind.
