Tripping Hazards Eliminated with Concrete Leveling in El Cajon

Challenge

A couple in El Cajon became increasingly concerned about the safety around their home as they noticed their concrete sidewalk slab start to drop and become uneven. The couple saw the sinking slabs cause their neighbors problems while they were walking past their home.

The house, like many in the neighborhood, was built in 1950. Soil conditions are a major source of concrete issues and those conditions are likely to change many times over the course of the life of the home.

Solution

The couple knew they needed to call out a contractor to deal with their sinking sidewalk. With many companies to choose from, they picked Saber Foundation Repair. This is because they felt Saber had the most accountability and they appreciated the warranty Saber offered.

Saber sent out a well-trained design specialist to inspect their concrete and pinpoint exactly why they are seeing issues with their sidewalk. The couple was able to design their perfect project based on their goals and budget.

Then, Saber crews got to work lifting the sinking concrete slabs. After spending time evening the sidewalk, the crew then applied a caulking solution to all of the joint in the concrete.

The PolyLevel material injected under the sunken slabs offers a permanent solution to combat soft or eroding soil. NexusPro, the caulking solution, will keep the joints sealed - meaning water won't be able to get under the slabs and wash away the remaining soil.
