Yes, most professional house leveling services offer a warranty, but the terms vary depending on the contractor, foundation type, and repair method.
🔹 Common Warranty Types
- Lifetime Transferable Warranty
- Often provided for pier-based repairs (steel or concrete piers).
- “Lifetime” usually means for as long as you own the home, and transferable to a new owner boosting resale value.
- Limited Warranty
- Covers repairs for a set period (e.g., 5–10 years).
- Common for less invasive leveling methods like mudjacking.
- Workmanship Warranty
- Guarantees the quality of labor, but not necessarily future soil movement.
🔹 What’s Typically Covered
- Future settlement in the repaired areas (not the whole foundation).
- Adjustments to restore level if the repaired section shifts again.
🔹 What’s Not Covered
- Damage caused by poor drainage, plumbing leaks, earthquakes, or tree roots after the repair.
- New settlement in untreated parts of the foundation.
💡 Pro Tip
If you live in Houston or other clay-soil regions, choose a contractor that offers a transferable lifetime warranty and make sure you get it in writing. Also, follow any maintenance requirements (like keeping proper drainage) so you don’t void the coverage.
