Job Stories

West Hills resident Jacob C. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of his home. Our Project Design Specialist did a complete evaluation of Jacob's home. Our crew leveled the slab using Helical Piers. We then filled the void space beneath the slab by using our PolyLevel process. Jacob approved the finished job and clean up.

Calabasas resident Norman S. contacted Saber regarding his patio deck. Dan Froehlich provided a complete evaluation. The job foreman and his crew were able to correct the creeping downward slope of the patio using helical and push piers. Norman S. was satisfied with the results and the cleanup.  

Big Bear City resident Rick B. contacted Saber regarding his home's chimney shifting. Rick had already contacted a fireplace contractor to see if his fireplace could be repaired or, if the fireplace had to be replaced. Rick's chimney foundation had a void under it. Saber filled this void by using our PolyLevel injection process. Our crew then installed Push Piers to stabilize the the chimney foundation.

A resident in Hemet, CA needed help sealing and fixing cracks in their backyard pool deck. Once a project design specialist came to diagnose the problem and supply the best solution, it was determined that NexusPro would be the best way to seal the cracked concrete without having to destroy and replace any concrete.  NexusPro is a silicon based material that has 100% expansion within the gaps applied. It lasts 20 years after application and remains pliable throughout it's life. Saber's production crew was able to apply the product to cracks of various width and depth, each application having the same result, complete repair of the gap/crack. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and the fact that his family could use the pool deck within hours of application. He enjoys the cleaner look of his pool deck and was pleased that Saber solved his problem efficiently and cleanly.

Hemet resident Bryce B. contacted Saber regarding his deck starting to slide down the hill it was built on. Our Project Design Specialist completed a Free Homeowner inspection of Bryce's home. Our crew drilled holes into the concrete deck, and into the voids, that had formed from shifting soils. Then Saber filled the voids using our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. This raised the concrete slabs that had been sinking. The attached picture shows one of the voids. Bryce was happy with his new stabilized deck.

Camp Pendleton resident Travis C. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the exterior walls and Foundation of his home. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection. We found that shifting soils had created voids under the Foundation. Saber recommended Foundation Pier installation to give the foundation consistent elevation. We also recommended our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process to fill the voids with Polyurethane. Travis received this inspection report along with our quote.

Stevenson Ranch resident Devin M. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of their home. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Voids had formed, that were caused by shifting soils under Devin's Foundation. The Foundation was sinking. We suggested installing Push Piers to the Foundation. Once pressurized, these Push Piers will lift the Foundation back into a constant elevation. Then we suggested that the voids be filled with Polyurethane, by using Saber's State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. Devin received a copy of our quote, and our thorough Home Inspection Report.

Homeowner Concern A homeowner in Forest Falls, California, began noticing signs that their home's floor system wasn't performing as it should. Uneven floors, aging crawl space supports, and the natural settling that often affects mountain homes prompted them to schedule a professional inspection with Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair. Homes in the San Bernardino Mountains face unique structural challenges. Sloped terrain, varying soil conditions, seasonal moisture, and decades of natural settlement can all place additional stress on crawl space framing. Over time, original wood support posts may weaken, shift, or no longer provide the level of support the home requires. Following a detailed inspection, our foundation repair specialist recommended installing a permanent SmartJack® crawl space support system to reinforce the home's floor structure. Inspection Findings Once inside the crawl space, our team found an older support system consisting primarily of wood posts and aging framing members. While these supports had carried the home for many years, several areas showed signs that additional structural reinforcement would improve the home's long-term stability. The crawl space also presented the typical challenges associated with mountain homes, including uneven terrain, large natural rock formations, and limited working space. These conditions required careful planning to ensure each support point would properly transfer structural loads. Rather than relying on temporary shimming or additional wood blocking, the homeowner chose a permanent structural solution engineered specifically for crawl space repair. Our Permanent Repair Solution The project began by preparing multiple locations beneath the home where new supports would be installed. Our crew carefully positioned galvanized steel foundation bases before installing heavy-duty SmartJack support columns beneath the primary floor beams. Each support was precisely aligned and adjusted to provide uniform load distribution throughout the crawl space. The repair included: Installation of galvanized SmartJack support columns Engineered steel support beams where additional reinforcement was needed Precision leveling of support components Permanent stabilization of sagging floor framing Structural load transfer to properly prepared support locations Because SmartJack systems are adjustable, they can be fine-tuned during installation to help restore floor stability while providing a durable, corrosion-resistant support system designed for long-term performance. Working Around a Challenging Crawl Space Every home presents its own set of structural conditions, and this Forest Falls project required our crew to work around numerous natural obstacles. Large boulders, uneven soil elevations, and confined access meant every SmartJack location had to be carefully selected and installed without compromising the existing structural framing. Our experienced technicians navigated the crawl space while ensuring each steel support was positioned to maximize its effectiveness. The result is a much stronger support system that integrates seamlessly beneath the home's existing framing. The Finished Result Following installation, the crawl space featured multiple professionally installed SmartJack support columns working together with engineered steel beams to provide permanent structural reinforcement. Unlike aging wood posts, galvanized steel SmartJack supports resist corrosion and can continue supporting the home's floor system for years to come. The upgraded support system helps reduce floor movement while providing homeowners with greater confidence in the structural integrity of their home. For homes built on raised foundations throughout Southern California, SmartJack systems offer an effective solution for reinforcing weakened floor systems and correcting crawl space support issues before they become more significant.

Temecula resident Chris contacted Saber regarding Trip Hazards Formed by cracks and sinking slabs on his concrete driveway. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free and thorough Homeowner inspection of the property. Shifting soils had created voids under the concrete driveway. The attached picture shows the trip hazard that formed when one of the slabs started sinking. Saber's crew drilled holes through the concrete and into the voids. We then injected polyurethane to fill the voids. This raised the slabs that had sunk. Saber then sanded the drilled holes until they were smooth. The Trip Hazards had been eliminated. Chris was happy with the result.

Temecula resident Rick S. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the pool deck of his home. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough and Free Homeowner inspection of Rick's home. Voids were found under the concrete deck. These voids were caused by water leaks in the pool's equipment. Saber's crew exposed the water leak for Rick to fix. We then filled the voids the leak had created. Rick was happy with Saber finding the cause of the crack in the deck, and fixing this issue. The attached picture is of a void created by the leaking equipment.
