Foundation Lifting & Push Pier Stabilization in Yorba Linda, CA
Challenge
A homeowner in Yorba Linda began noticing significant cracking along both the interior and exterior walls of the home. These cracks were signs of ongoing structural movement caused by foundation settlement beneath the property.
During a detailed inspection performed by Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair, large underlying soil voids were discovered beneath portions of the foundation. Over time, unstable soil conditions and empty spaces beneath the slab had allowed sections of the foundation to sink unevenly. As the structure settled into these voids, stress transferred throughout the home, resulting in visible wall cracking and structural misalignment.
Without proper stabilization, the settlement could have continued to worsen, potentially leading to additional structural damage, uneven floors, sticking doors and windows, and more costly repairs in the future.
Solution
To restore stability to the home, the foundation repair specialists at Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair developed a customized foundation lifting and stabilization plan designed specifically for the property’s soil conditions.
The crew excavated targeted areas around the portions of the home where settlement had occurred. Heavy-duty steel push piers were then attached directly to the foundation and hydraulically advanced deep into stable load-bearing soil beneath the weaker upper layers. Once the piers reached appropriate depth, the system was carefully pressurized to help lift the foundation back toward a more consistent elevation while permanently reinforcing the structure.
After the lifting process was completed, high-density polyurethane foam was injected beneath the foundation to fill existing soil voids and improve support beneath the slab. This process helped stabilize the surrounding soils while reducing the likelihood of future settlement.
By combining push pier foundation repair with polyurethane void filling, the team successfully stabilized the home, strengthened the foundation system, and helped protect the property from continued structural movement and settlement-related damage.
