Yes, all our Dura Lock® Pilings are warrantied for the life of your home, and the warranty automatically transfers to all future owners. Our Dura Lock® warranty is a simple one-page document that doesn’t contain any fine print and no transfer fees. The bottom line is if you call us, we’ll be there.  

Our Dura Lock® warranty is one of the few left out there in the industry that doesn’t contain language to void the warranty if the warranty isn’t transferred to the new owner within 30 days. In fact, our warranty is in the property address so there is no need to transfer from one name to another.  Our warranty is backed by a company in business for over 45 years and with an A+ rating from the BBB. 

We have proudly served Texas for over 40 years.  Dura Pier began over four decades ago out of our father’s foundation repair business. His business began out of his father’s. We are proud to be the 3rd generation serving the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio areas, and we are in the process of training the 4th generation.

Dura Pier offers cost-effective options for budget friendly-options. Our team also offers financing solutions. Generally speaking, most jobs cost anywhere from $3,500-$8,000. We do it right the first time  and our warranty guarantees our work, so you won’t have to pay more down the road.

The best method has often been defined as the one that requires the least amount of maintenance. You don’t want a pier or piling system that needs re-adjustment every two or three years, leaving you with constant repair expenses inside your home. As you compare systems, keep in mind that our soil shrinks, swells and shifts with Texas’ ever-changing weather patterns. The best foundation repair method will be the one that has the best ability to resist moving with the soil.

The straighter and deeper the pilings are driven into the ground, the better the soil friction they will attain. The better the soil friction, the longer they will last.

Our Dura Lock® system is the only method that actually connects and tensions each and every concrete cylinder as they are driven into the ground. This allows proper alignment to be achieved and retained, allowing the maximum amount of “skin friction” possible to be attained.

Yes, we have $2 million in general liability, and all our workers are covered by Texas Workman’s Compensation Insurance. Certificates will be provided upon request.

Generally, we will not want to adjust old piers from a contractor that has gone out of business or voided your warranty.  More than likely they’ve gone out of business because the number of warranty claims that had received exceeded their ability or desire to honor those warranties, and that is likely because they didn’t do a proper job in the first place.  Many companies will void your warranty because they know their piers aren’t made to last like our Dura Lock pilings are.  In rare cases we’ll make an exception and adjust existing piers.  If we do that, we may also be able to offer you a warranty for those piers to replace the warranty another company voided or will no longer honor.   

The process of lifting and leveling your home’s foundation may cause new cracks to form in the days and weeks that follow the repair.  This is unavoidable.  We typically recommend waiting at least 3-4 weeks before making any cosmetic repairs, but if your home is being lifted quite a bit then you might want to wait 6-8 weeks for the stress of lifting your slab to work its way through the structure of the home.

We often need to trim back or dig out plants and bushes in the area where we are working.  After we’re done, we’ll replant everything.  Because we finish most jobs in 1-3 days your plants should survive if you give them plenty of water after they’ve been replanted.  Having your landscaper remove any sensitive plants prior to our arrival can provide the greatest chance for survival.  We also place sheets of plywood where we’ll be walking and placing materials to protect your lawn.

As your home settled, the plumbing underneath your foundation may have been damaged.  This could lead to even greater foundation damage.  When we lift and level your foundation, it is possible the plumbing could be affected.  We always recommend a sewer leak test after the job is complete just to be sure.
