Limited Warranty
This Limited Warranty is from Foundation Werks (“Contractor”) to each purchaser (“Customer”) of any of the products described in the “Limited Warranty” section below (“Products”) which are installed by Contractor at Customer’s property (“Property”). This Limited Warranty is made by Contractor in lieu of and excludes all other warranties, express or implied, relating to the Products and to any services or other products provided by Contractor in connection therewith, including any IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. All such implied warranties shall be limited in duration to the term of the Limited Warranty set forth below. For the applicable time periods indicated below, this Warranty is transferable at no charge to future owners of the structure on which the work specified in this Contract is completed. This Warranty is in effect if the job specified in this Contract is completed and paid in full and, alternatively, is null and void if full payment is not received. All Other Products except for the Products listed in the “Limited Warranty” section, Contractor makes no express warranty, and disclaims all implied warranties, for any other product or service provided by Contractor to Customer. All work will be completed in a workmanlike manner according to the standard practices of the industry.

For concrete slabs raised by Contractor with High-Density polyurethane foam, Contractor warrants that, for a period of two years from the original date of installation, the area where the slab of concrete was lifted will not settle causing a trip hazard of more than ¼ inch or Contractor will provide the labor and materials to re-lift the area at no additional cost to the Customer. A re-lift is constituted as using the same holes the original work was completed with. Any additional work outside of those holes will be billed at market rate. In the event cracking of the concrete occurs during the installation process, Contractor will route out crack and seal with crack sealant at no additional cost to the Customer. The contractor does not represent that High-Density Polyurethane foam will lift the Customer’s slab to meet any criteria of levelness, but instead that it will lift the slab as much as practical. This Warranty is void if Customer does not maintain grade around slabs or seal joints and cracks with a liquid applied joint and crack sealant. If the seal is done outside of Foundation Werks we must be sent pictures showing the areas sealed within 24 hours from date of repair to prevent warranty from being voided. The warranty is void if the customer does not install gutters or trench drains after the suggestion of Foundation Werks. This Warranty does not cover the vertical heave of the slabs due to outside forces.
Force Majeure: Foundation Werks shall not be responsible for any delay in the delivery of, or failure to deliver, the work due to causes beyond Foundation Werks reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of God, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, Labor difficulties, acts of war or terrorism, strikes, embargoes, delays caused by civil authorities, governmental regulations or orders, lightening, fire or any other cause beyond Foundation Werks control with respect to the work, whether verbally or in writing, are good faith estimates of the time needed to complete the work.
Invoicing & Payment: Foundation Werks shall invoice and receive payment upon receipt. “Receipt” is the date the invoice is sent. A late charge of 1.5% will be charged on all unpaid balances (3) days from the invoice date. If Client fails to pay, Foundation Werks will refer account(s) to a third party for collection and will charge all costs associated with non-payment. Client is entitled to written lien waivers upon receipt by Foundation Werks of full payments as called for in this proposal. Texas construction liens will be filed, as required by the Texas construction lien law. Jobs over $4000.00 will require a 50% deposit.
Utility Protection Plan: Foundation Werks shall not bear responsibility for any damages to utility equipment on client’s property. Including but not limited to landscaping, sprinkler system, pipes, cable, gas or electrical lines, plumbing, drains and pool equipment. The client acknowledges and agrees that client will be responsible for accurately marking the locations of all v utilities, plumbing and vital lines prior to the commencement of any work by Foundation Werks. Foundation Werks is not responsible for cracks in slabs, floor or walls or damage that might have occurred because of settling or the lifting process.
For additional protection against potential utility damage caused by Foundation Werks, the client has the option to purchase a warranty for the exterior for $199.00 and an interior protection plan for $399.00. This payment must be made before commencement of any work. It is important to note that the warranty is non-refundable if no damage occurs during the project. Should the customer decline the exterior utility protection plan or the interior protection plan, the Customer will hold Foundation Werks harmless for any interior/exterior damage associated with the repair process.
Joint and Crack: Sealant for areas where Contractor has installed Joint and Crack Sealant (“Sealant”), Contractor warrants that, for a period of one year from the original date of installation, the Sealant will remain intact. In the event the Sealant does not stay intact, Contractor will re-apply the Sealant to the area at no additional cost to the Customer.
Werks Protection Plan: For areas where Contractor has installed a Werks Protection Plan, Contractor warrants that, for a period of five years from the original date of installation, the concrete will not settle more than ¼ inch and the joint sealant will remain intact. In the event the concrete settles more than ¼ inch or the joint sealant does not stay intact, Contractor will provide the labor and materials to re-lift the concrete and/or reseal the joints. This warranty is an extension (2 years to 5 years) of the standard High-Density Polyurethan Foam lift and sealant warranties above, the same restrictions apply. The leveled protection plan will be billed at $2.00 per square foot.
Concrete Replacement: For areas where Contractor has replaced or poured new concrete, Contractor will warranty that, for a period of 1 year from the original date of installation, the concrete will not settle more than ¼ inch causing a trip hazard. If concrete settles more than ¼ inch and causes a trip hazard, Contractor will lift concrete at no cost to the customer.
