Job Stories

A homeowner in Brawley California knew he was having issues with his foundation when he noticed cracks and a slope to the front of his house. The brick trim was pulling away from the rest of the home. He called Saber to receive a free inspection and estimate for the repairs. After a project design specialist was able to complete an inspection, it was recommended that piers be installed down into the bedrock to stabilize and lift the home. The homeowner was eager to begin the project and looked forward to the crew's arrival. Once the crew arrived to begin the project, they commenced removing concrete and soil in order to place each pier, previously mapped out on plans. Once the piers were successfully placed, the soil and concrete was expertly replaced after the desired height of lift was secured. The homeowner was pleased with the efficiency of the crew and the success of the job. Other than further cosmetic repairs caused by the initial settlement of the home, everything on the home was back to level. 

El Centro resident Tom A. called Saber regarding the structure that was needed to be lifted and the pool area that needed to be leveled. Our production design specialist did a complete evaluation of the pool structure and the surrounding area. Push piers were used to stabilize the structure and to level the pool area. This job was completed in one day. Tom was happy that everything was taken apart and backfilled. He was also happy with the crew's cleanup.

Santa Margarita resident Amir G. contacted Saber regarding cracks in the walls of his home, sticking doors, and windows. Our Project Design Specialist performed a Free Homeowner Inspection. Shifting soils had created voids. The foundation was sinking. This was causing the cracking. Saber Suggested that Helical coils be installed to lift the foundation, and give it back it's consistent elevation. Amir did receive a copy of our Home Inspection Report, and Saber's quote.

Lost Hills resident Jed F. contacted Saber regarding making a 40 year old farm bunkhouse safe for his employees. The walls and walkways were cracked and the bunk house was vacant. Our Project Design Specialist found voids that had formed from shifting soils. Saber recommended attaching Push Piers to the base of the foundation. We also recommended filling the voids with Polyurethane. This would both stabilize and strengthen the home's foundation. Jed received the home inspection report and a quote, that is good for 30 days.

Lompoc resident John K. contacted Saber regarding the sinking of the outer perimeter of his patio. He stated that the patio had once been enclosed. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection. Our crew used our State-of-the-Art Polylevel injection process to raise the sunken spots of the patio. Saber then Caulked the cracks in the patio. John was happy with the results and the clean up.

Calexico resident Rene M. contacted Saber regarding a void that was getting bigger next to a walkway. Our Project Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of Rene's property.

Voids were located under the foundation of Fred's home.Saber recommended attaching Push Piers to the Base of the foundation to lift the areas of the foundation that had sunk.

I home in Arroyo Grande, Ca. was seeing symptoms of foundation failure. The home was built in 2001 and the current homeowner had lived there since 2008. They started noticing sagging floors over the past year and wanted to know what they could do to fix it. They were worried about the integrity of their flooring due to the slope. Before calling Saber, they had tried small patches and other fixes and nothing worked. After Saber's Project Design Specialist performed a manometer reading and full inspection of their large crawlspace, it was determined that a SmartJack support system and supplemental support beams would be required in order to raise the main floors back to level and support them, keeping them from further sagging. There was also a center wall that was receiving no support from the sagging floor. After the installation of the SmartJacks, they acted as a new girder beam in between existing girder beams. The existing beams had been poorly spaced, causing the floor above to begin to sag over time without proper support.    

Oceano resident Paul W. contacted Saber stating that his home was "tilting" and that he wanted to raise his entire home by 3 feet.Our Project Design Specialist tried to inspect the home, but the Crawlspace was only 6 inches high. We couldn't give a suggestion to fix these issues without being able to enter the home's crawlspace. Paul thanked us for our time.
