Lee, a longtime homeowner in Escondido, CA, has lived in his home for 50 years without any significant issues. Built 60 years ago on a slope, the house had withstood the test of time. However, with the increasing frequency and intensity of earthquakes in California, Lee began to worry about the stability of his home. Wanting to ensure it remained safe and secure, he decided to look into seismic strengthening.   Lee conducted an online search and found Saber Foundation Repair. After reaching out, our design specialist thoroughly inspected the home, paying particular attention to the unique challenges posed by its age and location on a slope. Recognizing the potential risks, the specialist recommended a comprehensive seismic strengthening solution to reinforce the home’s structure and protect it from future earthquakes.   With the seismic strengthening completed, Lee now has peace of mind knowing that his home is better equipped to handle seismic activity. The reinforced structure provides enhanced stability, ensuring that the home he has lived in for half a century is secure and resilient for years to come.

Cathedral City resident Rick C. contacted Saber regarding Trip Hazards in his pool deck. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection of Rick's home. Voids had formed underneath some of the concrete slabs. These slabs were sinking slowly into these voids. Saber recommended our State-of-the-Art PolyLevel Injection Process. We would drill holes through the slabs, fill the voids with Polyurethane, thus lifting the areas that had sunk. Rick received a copy of the inspection report and our quote.

A homeowner in Desert Hot Springs, had noticed several areas around the property that the walkways had become uneven and cause concern to the homeowner due to the fact that the uneven walkways could result in a trip hazard, which could be a hassle for the homeowner in the long run.  The settlement of the slabs and walkways was mostly due to the soils located beneath the foundation, which had settled and caused voids to form in which the slabs began to sink and the walkways became compromised.   The homeowner knew it was time to find a fix for the issue, before the damage became worse.  The homeowner called Saber and set an appointment for a Design Specialist to come out and evaluate the property.  The Design Specialist proposed that the slabs and walkways be lifted and raised using PolyLEVEL™.  The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and was ready to get started on the project.  The crew from Saber was scheduled to come out and repair the foundation.  The crew began by coring penny sized holes in the slabs in the areas that would be lifted and stabilized.  The PolyLEVEL™ was then injected into the holes and the slab began to rise and level.  The whole process was rather quick and the cure time was just minutes, much less then the time it would have taken had the homeowner chosen to replace the sinking slabs. 

Santa Paula resident Paul H. contacted Saber about cracks in the concrete surrounding the gas meter of his home. Our Project Design Specialist completed a thorough evaluation of Paul's home. Our crew dug holes and installed Push Piers to the base of the home's foundation. This raised the sinking parts of the foundation, thus leveling the entire home foundation. Paul was satisfied with the completed job and clean up.

Lebec resident Thomas T. contacted Saber regarding cracked concrete leading up to his industrial garage. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough Inspection of this building. The Voids were also under the building's Foundation also. The Foundation, and areas of the outside of the building were sinking. Saber recommended Foundation Piers to Lift the Foundation back to a Consistent elevation. We also recommended that the voids be filled with Polyurethane. These suggestions would strengthen and stabilize the concrete foundation and outside concrete areas. Thomas received a written copy of Saber's Building Inspection Report.

Peter M., a representative of a church in Rancho Santa Fe, called Saber to assess trip hazards caused by uneven walkways. We scheduled him for an evaluation.  Design Specialist Ron C. walked the property with Peter, and confirmed that we can indeed help him eliminate his trip hazards using our innovative PolyLevel product.  PolyLevel foreman Scott L. and crew arrived at the job site on time and prepared to perform the work. They successfully lifted the low side of the concrete walkways with the polyurethane foam, eliminating the trip hazards in the areas of concern.  Peter was happy with the work performed by Scott and his crew. He gave them a great review.   

Mountain Center resident Matthew Z. contacted Saber regarding cracks that he was noticing in his foundation and his back deck. His home was built in 1964. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Voids were causing areas of the foundation to sink. This was creating cracks in the concrete and some of the reinfored steel I Beams. Saber recommended installing a Foundation Pier System. This would lift the areas that had sunk and give the foundation a consistant elevation. Matthew now has a copy of Saber's two hour inspection report, and a quote to fix this issue.

Foreman Dustin Wyatt and his team were tasked with helping a family in Solana Beach rid their crawlspace of moisture and preventing it from causing the temperature in their home to rise. They were experiencing astonomical electric bills and needed a permanent solution. Though there were no visible signs, the Saber team used a hygrometer to detect humidity in the crawlspace. After diagnosing the problem, Saber proceeded to begin with drainage matting, allowing any water to flow out in the event there is a broken pipe or something else causing extremely wet conditions. A pink wall was tehn attached to the concrete foundation wall, acting as a vapor barrier accompanied by caulking. Saber's blue matting is then cut and and placed on top of the drainage matting and attached to the pink wall using posts and seamless tape. Saber was able to solve the homeowner's problem of a humid and moist crawlspace by installing CleanSpace to prevent any humidity entering the crawlspace to no longer touch the soil and create moisture, therefore greatly reducing the amount of relative humidity throughou their home. The homeowner was very interested in the process, was present to view the installation, and is more than pleased with the final result.
