What is the cost of foundation repair in Dallas?

Almost every foundation repair company in Dallas and throughout the state of Texas utilizes the “Pressed Piling” method of foundation repair (or some similar version).

The reason is because this method is 2 or 3 times more profitable for the foundation repair contractor. The downside is that the homeowner receives a repair method that is riddled with drawbacks and disadvantages. The key conclusion is that profits are driving the repair contractor’s decision on which repair method to use – not the quality of the repair job.

Below are some hard numbers regarding the foundation repair costs based on the repair method used. Please keep in mind that there are many variables such as the size of the house, the scope of the repair work, and the specific method of repair. The simple conclusion is that the lowest cost methods are also the lowest quality and have a host of disadvantages.
