FOUNDATION REPAIR
WARRANTY LOOP HOLES
Most warranties have exclusions for when an occurrence will not be covered. The irony in most foundation repair warranties is that the stated condition that is excluded on the warranty typically already exists before and well after the foundation repair company installs the foundation repair piers. So.....if a foundation repair company installs their foundation repair piers within bad conditions that already caused foundation problems, they will SCAM you out of warranty work because they will claim that bad conditions exist as noted on their warranty declaration. Thousands of our clients that have been caught up in this have all echoed the same response.........."why didn't the foundation repair company tell me I had bad conditions and that their piers don't work under those bad conditions. Now they want me to do more 'foundation repair' to fix the problem".
 
The first issue is that foundation repair is being seen as the solution. This is where a structural engineer's evaluation comes in. A-1 Engineering is an expert at assessing buildings to provide you with our non-bias and objective opinion on whether your building will benefit from foundation repair.

 

 

Bad foundation repair can break your foundation. The picture above shows the "cinder" block pile cap for the foundation repair pile with a large crack in the foundation directly above the pile. The large break in the foundation happened as the foundation repair contractor was lifting the building. Since the contractor wanted to level the floor at all costs, the foundation broke in half. There is not enough foundation repair that can repair this damage.
