Saber's customer in El Cajon had noticed numerous symptoms of foundation settlement in her home. There were cracks on the interior walls of the home, and their windows wouldn't close properly at one end of the home.

El Cajon resident Mike contacted Saber regarding a trip hazard on his patio. Mike told us that he was retired and he had already tripped. He stated that the problem had grown worse over the last year. Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Mike's home.

Homeowners in Spring Valley, California, had started to notice a lot of cracking in the interior and exterior of their home.  They as noticed huge cracks that had formed in the slab of their patio deck.  These are all signs of soil settlement.  This type of settlement is due to the expansive soils beneath the homes foundation.  The homeowners knew they needed to find a fix for this issue before it became much more serious.  The homeowners did some research and found Saber, they set an appointment for a Saber design specialist to come to the property for a free property evaluation.  The design specialist proposed that the home be stabilized and lifted to maximum practical recovery using Push Piers.  It was also proposed to repair the cracks that had formed in the slabs and then use PolyLEVEL™ to fill any void that may have been caused due to the lift of the property.  The Saber crew was then scheduled to complete the project.  The Crew arrived and went to work using the proposed design to map out the pier locations, once the locations had been determined the crew began to excavate the areas in order to place the piers at the proper locations.  Sixteen Push Piers were placed around the property and then the lift of the property was preformed.  Once the lift had been completed the PolyLEVEL™ was injected beneath the foundation to fill any voids and the home is now stabilized and lifted to maximum practical recovery,  The homeowners no longer see the signs of settlement that once plaqued their home.  The cracks that had formed are now closed and any doors and windows that were hard to open and close are no longer an issue.
