About us

Dawson Foundation Repair only installs Bell Bottom Piers because it is the Highest Quality foundation repair method available in Texas - a time-tested, proven, and permanent solution. We have 600+ testimonial letters online. We serve Dallas, Houston, Plano, Sugar Land, Austin, and other Texas cities. The Bell Bottom Pier method of foundation repair is far superior to other methods on the market. Other methods are faster and cheaper, but like with anything else in life you get what you pay for. When compared to the common pushed pile or concrete cylinder, the Bell Bottom Pier offers a load capacity 5.8x greater and a footprint area in stable soil that is 13x greater. Most customers want a permanent solution from a company that has been in business for decades with excellent BBB ratings and reviews and that's what Dawson Foundation Repair provides. Free Inspections for homeowners and lifetime transferable service agreements on all repair work. For homes involved in a real estate transaction there is a $250 fee for an inspection and estimate.

Description of Work: Three townhouses on one foundation all had pier work. Mine the least. I have not seen any changes in the problems in my garage, but perhaps it is too soon. The workmen were excellent and courteous. The office staff is their weak point - she was confused about the dates when the men would be there, and she wanted to run my credit card before sending me the final statement, so that I did not know how much would be charged. I declined and they did get me a final statement; then we ran the credit card.

Description of Work: it was the highest bid I ever got plus the highest number of piers. I have had 5 other estimates. Felt that being a single woman had something to do with that.

Response from Dawson Foundation Repair
I feel this is another example of a homeowner not understanding the quality differences in foundation repair methods. I have chosen to offer a premium product because a home is usually the largest investment a person or family makes. My goal is to help the homeowner preserve his or her value in their home. This premium product is called the Bell Bottom Pier repair method. It is proven, time-tested, and permanent. I am proud to offer this product and service to the homeowners of Texas. Our costs are roughly 4 times greater than our competitors. There is more labor involved in the installation of Bell Bottom Piers - and more concrete - and steel rebar. But the homeowner receives a far better product - one that will last a lifetime. Please visit our web site to view a cost comparison of the Bell Bottom repair method vs. others. I can assure you that any foundation repair method that pushes concrete or hollow metal cylinders into the ground will not have the strength or permanency of the Bell Bottom Piers. I have clearly outlined the advantages and disadvantages of all common foundation repair methods on our company web site. And I have also included a number of reports, studies, and opinions of various independent structural engineers on our web site. In addition, the only foundation repair method mentioned in the Building Codes for the city of Houston is the Bell Bottom Pier method. About 15% of our work comes from Texas homeowners whose foundation repair job has failed. The three most common reasons for the failure of pushed pile cylinders is 1) they "skewed off" at an angle during the driving process, 2) they were never driven deep enough, and 3) lateral soil movement over time has compromised their integrity. The frequent releveling of failed pushed piles will only provide temporary relief. In any case, when pushed piles fail the result is permanent and a complete loss of money for the repair job. If a competitor has a price that is 67% less than our price then the homeowner should "see some red flags." I suggest that he or she investigate this company further and ask about previous lawsuits and arbitrations, BBB rating, years of experience, online testimonials, workers compensation insurance, etc. We have a page on our web site to help homeowners compare foundation repair companies. I would like to also point out that most foundation repair companies require customers to sign a contract that requires Mandatory (Forced) Arbitration in the event of a dispute. What most people do not understand is that Mandatory Arbitration is a "stacked deck" against the consumer and the statistics clearly show the consumer loses more than 90% of the time. As Richard Alderman, Director, Consumer Law Center, University of Houston Law Center has said, “If arbitration were in any way beneficial to consumers, it could be made an option and consumers would choose it.” Please visit our web site to read more about the "Myths of Arbitration." In sum, ladies and gentlemen, you get what you pay for. Best Regards, Martin Dawson, co-owner Dawson Foundation Repair

Description of Work: We hired Dawson Foundation Repair to inspect the foundation of a home during the option period for a home we had under contract. The office was very responsive and professional and they had someone available to come out to the house on short notice. Rick Mack came to inspect the foundation and was thorough and knowledgable. Fortunately, he did not find any major issues. It was well worth the $150 fee for his visit to get an expert opinion and he gave us some good tips on maintaining the foundation to prevent any issues in the future.
