Foundation Repair Warranty

The Texas Foundation Warranty Trust

Over the years, many foundation repair contractors have gone out of business, leaving their customers with worthless warranties. The best example is the 1997 bankruptcy of Perma-Pile, in which the bankruptcy court voided the lifetime warranties of over 10,000 customers.

To provide customers with a greater level of security, the Texas Foundation Warranty Trust was established in 1993. The Texas Foundation Warranty Trust supports warranties issued by selected foundation repair contractors. The Trust only backs warranties issued by companies with the highest performance standards, the best quality control procedures, and the soundest finances. For companies’ warranties to receive the support of the Trust and maintain the highest standards, companies must contribute a portion of their revenues to the Trust. So long as any warranty obligations are outstanding, the assets of the Trust may not be used for any purposes other than providing for warranties and for the expenses of the Trust. As of June 1, 2023, the Trust has grown to over $1,350,000 and continues to steadily increase. The Trust provides financial backing to contractors who have demonstrated a superior commitment to quality and a dedication to financial stability.

If Arch Foundation Repair ceases to conduct business, the Texas Foundation Warranty Trust will unconditionally back the foundation repair warranties issued by Arch Foundation Repair.
