Seismic Retrofitting in San Diego, CA
Homeowner Kennedy D. has been living in an older home in San Diego for 6 months to find out they have a moist and smelly crawl space. Kennedy knew he was going to have to invest in encapsulation for his home. When Kennedy contacted Saber he said, “Before buying the house we didn't smell anything, I believe the previous owners opened the windows before we arrived. When we moved into the house, I realize it smells musty. I want to find a solution to the problem.” Project Design Specialist Paul D. did the evaluation on the home and discovered that other than finding that there was an area of the crawl space that had more moisture than usual which was causing the disgusting smell. Paul also discovered that there is also a weak point in Kennedy’s foundation. Kennedy liked what he heard and went ahead with the project. he stated, “Paul helped me identify that the gutters were the problem on top of exactly where the water was flowing in the crawlspace. Without their help, I would not have found where I needed to remove the rotted wood and fix the gutter on top of them, re-enforcing my foundation. Saber saved me over $100,0000.00+ because if they hadn't found the source of the problem, the moisture would have further damaged my house, and the foundation would have eventually cracked. In the next year or two, I'm looking to have them encapsulate my crawlspace. Saber's customer service, as well as its work ethic, is stellar. After having four other professionals check my place, no one could find the exact problems outside the service they offered. I recommend Saber for quality service and an ethical approach to finding your crawlspace or basement needs!” Here at Saber, we believe in working together to bring homeowners a redefining experience and to achieve their goals of having a safe and secure home.
