Is there a warranty on house leveling?

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

  1. 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.
  2. Limited Warranty
    • Covers repairs for a set period (e.g., 5–10 years).
    • Common for less invasive leveling methods like mudjacking.
  3. 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.
