Saber was contracted to repair a foundation in Fallbrook, California. The home had many cracks throughout in the slab and also in the walls and ceiling of the property. The Saber crew used two push piers at specified locations to help stabilize the home and prevent it from any future settlement. Once the piers were installed and the lift and stabilization of the home was complete the crew went to work repairing the large cracks that had formed around the property, Using an epoxy injection the crew closed up the cracks.

Fallbrook resident Kathleen G. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the back patio of her home. The cracks were expanding and getting larger. Please see the attached picture. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a extensive inspection of Kathleens home. Voids were found under some of the Patio Slabs. These were caused by settling, and shifting soils.

Helical Piers and PolyLEVELâ„¢ for Apartment Complex in Agoura Hills
Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions proposed to stabilize an apartment complex in Agoura Hills using the Helical Piers and PolyLEVEL™ system. PolyLEVEL™ is a two-part urethane that when combined, expands into a rigid foam used to fill voids, stabilize slabs and lift concrete. Once injected through small 5/8 inch drilled holes in the surface or slabs, a chemical reaction converts the liquid urethane components into a strong, rapidly setting, waterproof foam material.
In it’s foam state, PolyLEVEL™ is light weight, weighing two to six pounds per cubic-foot (pcf). Opposed to mud-jacking which can weigh upwards of 120 pcf, thus adding a significant burden to the supporting soils under the slab, and potentially contributing to further settlement issues. With a compressive strength of 10,800 pounds per square foot, PolyLEVEL™ has the strength to support the most demanding residential loads. For this job, Saber will use the polyurethane injection as a void fill once the helical pier system has been installed and the structure has been lifted in order to prevent any future settling.
