Thank you for your comments. Bell Bottom Piers require more time, more labor, and more steel rebar. A superior foundation repair method.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can purchase these plastic barriers at the larger home builder or home improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowe's.

Thanks for the notification. Not sure what happened. There was audio when we uploaded it. We'll see if UA-cam can help us or reload the video.

Smoke & Mirrors, how so?!

Rance, I have no idea what you are talking about. If you have a legitimate complaint that is supported by evidence or independent structural engineers then let's see it. Martin Dawson, owner

Domingo, thanks for the feedback. Wish you the best, Martin Dawson, owner

Sometimes the clean out is obvious. Other times the plumber has to do some searching and digging.

Yes, we absolutely believe Bell Bottom Piers (drilled piers) is a much better repair and support system for concrete slab foundations. It requires more time, more labor, more concrete, and more steel rebar to build a Bell Bottom Pier. The reason virtually every company in Texas stopped installing Bell Bottom Piers and began using Pushed Piles is profitability. Installing Pushed Piles is fast and the contractors' costs are less, therefore much more profitable for the foundation contractors. However, there is a huge drop of quality with Pushed Piles. The structural engineers at A-1 Engineering call Pushed Piles "temporary" and "almost useless". So you get what you pay for.

Gabriel Castro if there is a two way cleanout you can do it all from outside. It is nice to have access to the inside just in case.

No. The plumber must have access to the inside of the house.

E Buzek, Sorry to hear about your experience with a company that is no longer in business. We have seen this happen dozens of times in our 30 years of operation in the Texas market. That is why we encourage people to select a company that has decades of experience and knowledge in the foundation repair and leveling business. We also encourage people to perform internet searches for "complaints" and "lawsuits" pertaining to a specific company. When you find a specific company mentioned dozens of times for a complaint or lawsuit you should probably avoid them. Regarding a foundation repair method, it is our experience and opinion that the Bell Bottom Pier method is the best or highest quality repair available. The pressed pile methods are flawed methods that some structural engineers had publicly declared as "temporary" and "almost useless". Give us a call and we can chat.

Tony, we have a page on our website that gives the viewer an idea of the cost of foundation repair. However, we would need to inspect your home to give you an accurate estimate. See our page at: www.dawsonfoundationrepair.com/cost-foundation-repair/

11,000 - 17,000. Shown in video at 3:14

djkennd2, We listen to the most highly educated and trained experts in the field - structural engineers. They support publicly drilled piers and drilled piers with bell bottoms (Bell Bottom Piers). They also state publicly that concrete cylinders pressed into the soil are flawed and have described them as "temporary" and "almost useless". You can find a number of engineering studies, reports, and questions in our engineering section of our website at: www.dawsonfoundationrepair.com/engineering-information/

Anthony, You are right, it is old - about 100 years old. But it WORKS !! Bell Bottom Piers offer the best solution to soil movement and needed support for concrete slab foundations. Really. You can compare Bell Bottom Piers to the commonly used cheaper methods at: www.dawsonfoundationrepair.com/engineering-information/
