Job Stories

A general contractor contacted Saber regarding preparation for a flagpole installation at Point Magu NAWC. The Flagpole needed a solid Foundation. The hole was dug. Saber then drilled a Helical Pier into the ground until it was torqued as tight as possible. Then we attached 8" x 8" plate to the top of the Pier. Saber's part of the job was done. Another subcontractor poured the concrete that would form the base of the flagpole.

Windsor Hills resident James W. contacted Saber regarding tiles falling off his Bathroom Walls and Cracks in the Walls. Voids have Formed. The Foundation is sinking. Saber's crew attached Helical Piers to the Foundation. We then filled the Voids with Polyurethane. The Foundation has now been Strengthened and Solidified. James can now have the bathrooms remodeled.

Canyon Lake homeowner Connie S. was looking for help with her patio, which resulted from the seawall pulling away from her patio. Project Design Specialist Steven O. proposed a solution of PolyLevel, which included lifting the concrete deck and deep injection to address the seawall issues, and NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal concrete cracks to prevent water intrusion in the future. Living near water can bring up issues that landlocked homeowners don't need to address. Further erosion will be prevented by lifting the slab and sealing the cracking joint. Crew Foreman Scott L. and Jamin C. handled the project. Speaking of her overall experience with Saber, Connie writes, "Looked into different companies to level my cement slab attached to my seawall on the lake. Your representative Steven was very knowledgeable, patiently explaining everything to us. Your crew who came out to do the job was also very knowledgeable and hardworking. Your lead man Scott and his helper were awesome." Saber is committed to excellence from the beginning to the end of our projects. That's what we call our WOW! service. 

A single hidden water leak had quietly undermined a slab-on-grade home in Twentynine Palms, California. Over several months, the back two bedrooms drifted six to eight inches lower than the rest of the house, opening vertical cracks in the foundation and leaving doors stuck in their frames. With property value—and peace of mind—on the line, the homeowners needed more than a cosmetic patch; they needed true foundation repair from a team that treats structural safety as non-negotiable.   Initial do-it-yourself attempts and general-contractor quotes offered only surface fixes: cosmetic crack sealing, grout underfill, or a partial slab replacement that ignored the unstable soil. None addressed how to repair a foundation permanently or why acceptable foundation settlement had been exceeded. Searching “foundation repair near me” and reading customer reviews pointed the owners toward Saber Foundation Repair, long recognized among Southern California’s leading residential foundation contractors.   Saber’s free, full-scope foundation inspection combined laser-level mapping with soil profiling to confirm that expansive clay beneath the slab had washed out after the plumbing leak, leaving the rooms unsupported. The company’s transparent report compared several slab foundation repair methods and recommended a Supportworks-engineered push-pier system. Eight galvanized steel push piers—each protected by an external sleeve for maximum torsional strength—would be driven more than 45 feet to load-bearing strata beneath the failed zone. A new 12-inch-by-18-inch grade beam, reinforced with dual #4 rebar top and bottom, would tie the piers together and lock the repair into the original footing.   Over five carefully sequenced workdays, Saber’s crew installed the piers, lifted the settled slab in controlled increments, and pumped structural slurry to fill hidden voids. A fresh 5-inch concrete slab, tied into the new beam, restored a monolithic surface ready for flooring. Despite heavy equipment on site, the team kept disruption to a minimum—an advantage of push piers that reach greater depth without wide excavation. When the last laser reading showed the floors level within one-eighth of an inch of design grade, the homeowners knew the nightmare had ended.   Today, cracks have closed, doors swing freely, and the chimney stand plumb once more. Backed by Saber’s 25-year transferrable warranty, the house has regained both structural integrity and market appeal—proof that proactive home improvement renovations pay dividends. “Foundation repairs aren’t just construction repairs,” the project supervisor explained to the owners; “they’re risk protection for your biggest investment.” Early intervention spared them from far costlier damage and underscored why working with true foundation experts matters.

Mr. and Mrs. League were concerned about their cracked driveway and sunken walkways off their tenants porch in Redondo Beach. Tree roots had caused the concrete to rise in some areas, while other sections had sunken, creating a safety hazard for the back unit occupant. Realizing it was time to take action, they called Saber Foundation Repair.   Our design specialist, Andrew Verdecia, thoroughly inspected the area and proposed a comprehensive solution. On the installation day, our skilled installers, Christian and James, meticulously leveled each slab using PolyLevel®, a product that is safe for people, plants, and pets. We focused on the main area of concern, ensuring a smooth and stable surface.   Next, we sealed each crack with NexusPro®, addressing the voids that had filled with water and effectively locking out future moisture. We also sealed along the wall to provide additional protection.   Mr. and Mrs. League now have a safe, level, and sealed driveway.

In Sunland, CA, a family watched the concrete surrounding their backyard pool settle year after year. Fine hairline fractures widened into a jagged crack that split the deck, drainage covers tilted, and a once-smooth walkway developed hazardous trip points. Besides spoiling summer fun, the sinking slab threatened the pool’s plumbing and the home’s resale value. Uneven slabs also made daily maintenance risky; carrying chemicals and gear across unstable concrete amplified safety worries.   The Search for a Solution Hoping for a quick fix, the homeowners first tried patching joints and caulking cracks, but seasonal soil movement reopened every repair. Traditional mud jacking appeared messy and heavy—exactly the wrong approach for a poolside surface that demanded precision and minimal downtime. Realizing the problem exceeded DIY territory, they looked for a specialist who could provide a lasting answer rather than another stopgap.   Why Saber Foundation Repair? Online reviews consistently praised Saber Foundation Repair for transparent assessments and modern technology. A complimentary inspection confirmed that expansive soils beneath the deck had washed out, creating voids that allowed the concrete to settle unevenly. Saber’s inspector explained how the lightweight, high-density PolyLevel® polyurethane foam could lift the slab, lock it in place, and seal voids—all with holes no larger than a dime. That combination of science, experience, and a clean installation schedule convinced the homeowners they had found the right partner.   The Repair Process On the agreed date, Saber’s crew arrived before 9 a.m. and walked the project with the owners. Following the proven four-step PolyLevel® process, technicians first bored ⅝-inch injection points at strategic locations along the yellow chalk line mapping the lowest spots. Discreet ports inserted into each opening guided the expanding foam precisely beneath the slab. As the two-part polymer reacted, it gently lifted the concrete back to its original elevation, closing cracks and realigning drainage covers. Within minutes, the material reached full strength, resisting water intrusion and future erosion. Finally, the crew removed the ports, patched each opening with color-matched cement, and power-washed the deck. By early afternoon, the poolside was ready for foot traffic.   Transformation – The After The change was immediate and dramatic. The prominent crack that once sliced across the deck closed tight; the walkway along the filter equipment lay flush and smooth; the sunken drain near the garden island sat level, restoring proper runoff. With the eyesore eliminated, the yard regained its inviting appeal, and the homeowners regained peace of mind. Most importantly, the lightweight foam preserved the soil rather than weighing it down, ensuring a long-term solution rather than a temporary reprieve.   Emotional Engine – The Power of Trust Foundation and concrete issues seldom improve on their own—erosion accelerates, and repairs grow costlier. Saber Foundation Repair builds confidence by sharing data-backed evaluations, written warranties, and courteous communication from scheduling to cleanup. That transparency reassures families that their biggest investment is protected by proven expertise rather than guesswork.   New Era – A Win for Everyone Restoring the pool deck revived not only the property’s safety but also its value. Prospective buyers now see a level, attractive outdoor space instead of potential liability. Across Sunland and greater Los Angeles, Saber continues to apply the same PolyLevel® technology—environmentally safe, waterproof, and far less invasive than old-fashioned concrete jacking—to sidewalks, driveways, patios, and interior slab floors.   Call to Action If cracks, settlement, or uneven slabs threaten your pool deck, patio, or foundation, act before minor flaws become major expenses.
