A foundation warranty tells you exactly how long a repair is built to last, and that number should factor into every decision you make about your home. At Olson Foundation Repair, we back every job with warranty terms that match the scope of work, from steel wall anchors to full pier systems. In our experience, after four decades in this business, clear warranty terms build more trust than any sales pitch.
What A Foundation Warranty Covers By Repair Type
Not every foundation repair carries the same coverage. The warranty depends on which repair your property needs.
Wall Anchors And I-Beams
If your basement or crawl space walls are bowing or moving inward, we use dead man anchors and steel I-beams to hold them in place. These systems stop further inward wall movement and come with a 15-year warranty.
Foundation Warranty On Piers And Underpinning
When a house is settling, we drive piers down to bedrock to stabilize the structure from underneath. We offer a lifetime warranty on these piers, something we can confidently back after 40 years in business as a reputable company.
Pro Tip:
- Wall anchors and I-beams: 15-year warranty
- Piers driven to bedrock: lifetime warranty
Waterproofing Warranty Coverage Explained
Waterproofing repairs protect your basement from water intrusion, and each component carries its own warranty coverage.
Drain Tile And Sump Pump Coverage
Drain tile installation comes with a 15-year warranty. Sump pumps carry a 5-year warranty.
Waterproofing Membranes And Adjustable Posts
Waterproofing membrane also comes with a 5-year warranty. Adjustable posts carry a 3-year warranty.
Key Takeaway:
- Drain tile: 15-year warranty
- Sump pumps: 5-year warranty
- Waterproofing membrane: 5-year warranty
- Adjustable posts: 3-year warranty

What To Look For In Your Warranty Terms
Not all warranties hold up the same way once work is finished, so it helps to know what to check before you sign.
Get Every Term In Writing
A warranty typically only protects you if it is documented. It often helps to ask for the specific number of years on each repair before work begins and confirm that documentation comes with your bid.
Know What Can Affect Coverage
It can also help to ask what might affect your coverage over time, such as skipped maintenance or unrelated work performed by another contractor. Most reputable contractors are willing to walk you through this before you commit.
