Foundation Repair Warranty

Our foundation repair warranty is fully transferable from owner to owner to owner provided that the warranty has been properly transferred within 30 days of title transfer.

The warranty is limited because there are specific exclusions such as: soil upheaval (commonly referred to as heave), soil undermining, earthquakes and water damage.  See your contract or below for complete terms of the warranty.

The foundation repair warranty does not warrant other areas of the foundation, which may move for a wide variety of reasons.

We take a lot of care in performing our work and want you to have peace of mind that Granite fully backs its warranty.  We do our very best to assure that best practice processes and procedures are followed during the initial foundation repair. You have our word on that.
