Foundation Repair Photo Album: Extensive Push Pier Foundation Repair in Santa Ana, CA

Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair performed extensive foundation repair work at this Santa Ana, CA, home after the homeowner reported settlement affecting the rear portion of the property. Project notes described previous alterations involving a former crawl space converted into an additional room. Photos document exterior wall cracks, damage near an interior doorway, and cracking in a lower-level wall before the repair work. The project’s proposed scope included 43 push piers with low-profile brackets, including 13 interior pier locations, along with PolyLevel interior slab support and concrete restoration. This album follows the visible installation work, including concrete cutting, interior excavation, soil removal, and push pier bracket installation.
