  Jackie, a homeowner in Anaheim, contacted us concerned about a substantial foundation crack revealed during tile removal. Prioritizing the installation of new flooring, she sought immediate attention for the crack. Having encountered multiple issues since moving in a year ago, including a troubling leak, she worried about potential underlying problems. Our team conducted a thorough foundation inspection, revealing settling issues over time. To resolve this, we proposed a solution for settlement repair. Our foundation contractor arrived and executed the recommended method: Composite Crack Stitching. This involved sawing non-parallel lines along the crack, inserting carbon fiber laminate, filling it with a sturdy 2-part poly, and meticulously smoothing the surface. The process included thorough cleanup to ensure a comprehensive foundation crack repair. After completion, Jackie felt confident proceeding with her new flooring, knowing the foundation crack was expertly addressed.

After 7 years of owning a home with a pool in Anaheim Lawana watched as her pool deck slowely sank for 3 years due to poor compaction of the subbase soils and errosion from water migration under the pool deck slab.   This settlement of the pool deck concerned Lawana as her kids running around the deck had to avoid the trip and fall hazard caused by the settlement and misalignment of concrete pannels. Saber's injected 51 pounds of PolyLEVEL below the affected area to not only raise the suncken slab but also fill any voids in close vacinity stoping water errosion and migration stopping future settlement of other areas of the pool deck.    

A home in Anaheim was suffering from settlement issues.  The settlement of the home was mostly due to the soils located beneath the foundation, which had settled and caused voids to form in which the home was compromised.  The home had a formed cracks in walls and around door and window frames.  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 home be lifted and stabilized 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 foundation slab 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, as the cracks began to close throughout the home.  The homes foundation is now repaired and the cracks that had formed are now closed, and the foundation is now stabilized from future settlement.

A homeowner in San Gabriel, California, noticed a drop in the concrete slab inside his garage and was referred to Saber Foundation Repair to conduct a free, no-obligation inspection.   Jarvis G. called Saber after estimating the concrete slab had sunk nearly 3 inches around the perimeter of the detached garage. There was also a large crack down the middle of the garage slab.   Jarvis, who has lived in the home for nearly 40 years, first noticed an issue with the concrete slab years ago but said it had gotten worse after an earthquake. He needed the uneven floor fixed because he uses the garage for woodworking and it was impacting his ability to build things precisely. He was also concerned about water getting into the garage through the separation of the floor and the baseboards.   A Saber concrete repair team was able to lift and level the concrete garage floor back into its original position and seal the joints. The team used PolyLevel, a proprietary polyurethane foam used exclusively by Saber Foundation Repair in southern California, to lift the concrete 3 inches. The foam quickly expands and cures, allowing Jarvis to use the garage floor immediately after the installation.
