SFH with foundation work done

[Naz Hossain]

Hi BP. I'm looking to buy this SFH in the San Antonio area. This house checks out on all aspects but I'm having trouble with one area.

The area the house in is notorious for foundation settlement. The foundation on the house has been worked on before. About 6 months ago. The foundation work has an engineering report and the foundation company has provided lifetime warranty on material and labor. The warranty comes in the form of a written letter from the owner. But I cannot find anything on this foundation repair company when I go to look them up. So I cannot verify the integrity of their work.

My question, is the engineering report a good enough peace of mind for me to go through with the purchase

Thank you in advance

The warranty is only as good as the foundation repair company that did the work.  If they go out of business or decide not to honor it for one reason or another... you’re out of luck.

Due diligence on them and the method/technique of their repairs is highly recommended.
