Pasadena, CA expert foundation repair and earthquake retrofitting
Severe foundation settlement caused this wall to pull away from the window.
Homeowners in Pasadena, CA are no stranger to structural instability because of relatively frequent earthquakes. In fact, Pasadena has experienced over 3,000 earthquakes since 1931. Having a durable home with a stable foundation is crucial for your family's safety. In business since 1987, Saber Foundation Repair has the experience and tools necessary for all of your foundation repair and seismic retrofitting needs!
There are many potential causes of foundation damage, but the most common is settlement. The loose soils around your foundation can shift over time, disturbing your foundation and allowing it to sink. Of course, you can't see your foundation settling from above ground, but there are several above-ground signs. If you have cracks in interior or exterior walls, bowing walls, a tilting chimney, or uneven floors, these are all potential symptoms of foundation settlement.
It usually takes a long time for a sinking foundation to create catastrophic problems, but the more you wait before you address the issue, the more likely it is that you'll have to pay more to resolve it. On top of the cost, you'll have to live in an unsightly and unsafe property. Saber Foundation Repair can use proven, patented foundation repair products to anchor your foundation to solid, load-bearing soil or bedrock, stopping settlement in its tracks.
Saber Foundation Repair also offers seismic retrofitting to reinforce the rest of your home against the destructive forces of earthquakes. Retrofitting is designed to fight against racking, sliding, and overturning of your home by an earthquake. Hold downs, anchors and anchor bolts, strap ties and framing angles are used to redistribute impact force, so your home won't be torn apart at a weak structural point. Regardless of which of our services you're in the market for, Saber Foundation Repair's top priority is doing the best job we can to protect your family and your home!

Homeowner Kathy M. in Pasadena decided to get her settlement repaired by installing SmartJacks. Her home had some major issues with stability and her floor was sagging. Project Design Specialist Jason Sparks evaluated the crawl space and concluded that the home needed some major settlement repair. After sitting down and discussing the solution Kathy decided to move forward with the project. Bryan A. and his crew moved forward with the project and installed 10 SmartJacks, a 56-foot supplemental beam, and two push piers. After seeing the work Bryan and his crew did she had peace of mind and knew that our solution was a long-term viable solution.
A community church was in need of improving the safety of their parishioners. Various trip hazards had developed over the years on the property's walkways, stairways, and in other areas. They also wanted to eradicate unsightly cracks and improve the look of their church's landscape.
Saber was called in for a free inspection of what it would cost to grind down the trip hazards. There were found to be 11 areas needing to be leveled out through dustless grinding. They included the walk paths, an area at the top of the main stairs, in front of the base of the stairs, as well as alongside a city sidewalk bordering the property.
The project only took a day to complete and didn't cause the disruption of any services or other events. The church's staff appreciated the efficiency of the project and appreciated that their parishioners were much safer from trip and fall risk. This seemingly small change to the property provided a much-needed facelift and improvement.
