What does a lifetime foundation warranty cover?

A lifetime foundation warranty typically offers long-term protection for the specific foundation repairs performed on your home. 🏡🔧 However, coverage can vary depending on the contractor and repair method, so it’s important to read the terms carefully.

What it usually covers ✅:

  • Structural issues repaired (e.g., piers, underpinning, slab leveling)
  • Materials and workmanship used in the repair
  • Transferability to new homeowners (some warranties allow transfer if you sell your home)

What it usually doesn’t cover ❌:

  • New foundation issues in areas that weren’t part of the original repair
  • Damage caused by plumbing leaks, landscaping, or natural disasters
  • Poor drainage or failure to maintain the property
  • Cosmetic issues like hairline wall cracks or minor floor shifting

Things to check:

  • Is it a true lifetime warranty or limited to a certain number of years?
  • Is there a service charge for future inspections?
  • Is the warranty backed by insurance or just the contractor?

A solid foundation warranty offers peace of mind, but understanding what it really covers helps you avoid surprises down the line. 🧐📄
