Warranty Information - Foundation Assure Warranty
The Foundation Assure Warranty is designed to protect you from catastrophic failure of your foundation walls. Most homeowners may not know that their foundation is not protected under regular homeowners’ insurance. This means that a catastrophic collapse of your foundation wall could cost you tens of thousands to repair while making your home unlivable. To learn more about our warranty and what it covers continue below.
Warranty Period
The warranty period for the Foundation Assure Warranty is designed to help keep you protected no matter how long you plan to stay in your current home. The term of the warranty ends with one of the following, whichever occurs first:
When the term selected expires as measured from the “Warranty Purchase Date”
Non-payment
If the Warranty is transferred to another party.
Transferable Foundation Warranty
The foundation assure warranty is designed to protect your home even after you sell it. Our foundation warranty is transferable to new owners if you sell the home. At the time of the transfer the warranty owner must notify Foundation Assure of the transfer to the new owner. At this time our team will perform a new inspection at no charge to the new owners of the property. This is to ensure that the foundation has had no drastic changes before the transfer of the warranty.
