Saber recommended attaching Foundation Piers and Pressurizing them, to Lift the Foundation back to a Consistent Elevation. These Piers Strengthen the Foundation. Then we suggested Filling the Voids with Polyurethane, to Stabilize the Foundation. Last of all we thought that attaching steel I Beams, to the existing Floor Joists, would Stabilize the Floors.

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.
