Cons of Pressed Piling Piers, Alternative to Pressed Piers
Pressed Piling Pier Foundation Repair
There are many cons or disadvantages of having a foundation repair company install pressed concrete piers or “piling piers” in your foundation to correct its failure. In Dallas and the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, pressed concrete piers are generally not recommended due to the high failure rate and limited depth of the pier’s penetration.
Pressed concrete piers are a quick and inexpensive fix that have no long-term benefit to the home owner and their investment. The main benefit of installing this type of foundation repair system is to the foundation company because they are easy to install and work can be completed, in most cases, within one business day. The labor cost of these piers is substantially lower than other proven foundation repair methods.
Pro-Tech Foundation Repair regularly installs its proprietary, double drilled concrete pier on homes that have had previous foundation repair performed by companies that specialize in pressed piling concrete pier installation. We have observed numerous failures of the pressed pier. Our pier installation method has a proven track record of thousands of homes in the Dallas area and we have performed minimal warranty repair in over 20 years despite offering a lifetime, transferable warranty on foundation repair.
