Warranties
<br />These Warranties are in effect only after the Work is completed and Customer has paid in full. If payment is not received, these Warranties are null
<br />and void. These Warranties are made in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, and of all other obligations on the part of Contractor to
<br />Customer. There are no other oral or written warranties. There are no warranties which extend beyond the descriptions that appear below, including
<br />no warranties of express or implied merchantability and no warranties of express or implied fitness for a particular purpose. These Warranties are
<br />transferable to future owners of the structure on which the Work is completed. Contractor shall charge a fee of $240 to complete a system inspection
<br />and new owner orientation. All warranty claims must be brought prior to the expiration of the applicable warranty period in order to be valid. Contractor

<br />2. Wall Support Systems. Contractor hereby warrants that wall support systems, including wall anchors, carbon fiber strips, and steel I-beam systems,
<br />will stop further inward horizontal movement of the wall(s) in the areas where they are installed for the lifetime of the structure from the date of
<br />installation. Wall support systems are warranted only to stabilize repaired walls(s), not straighten. Walls that do not have wall support systems
<br />installed by Contractor entirely from corner to corner are not warranted. Contractor recommends annual maintenance for wall support systems. The
<br />cost of maintenance is not included in this contract, but maintenance is available from Contractor at an additional charge. For carbon fiber strips,
<br />contractor does not warrant against: (1) any tipping or leaning at the top of the wall(s) repaired; (2) shearing or sliding at the bottom of the wall(s)
<br />repaired. In the rare instance that the repaired wall(s) experience leaning or shearing, steel brackets or other methods can be installed by
<br />Contractor at an additional charge.
<br />3. Foundation Push Piers and Foundation Helical Piers. Contractor warrants that the foundation push piers and foundation helical piers will stabilize
<br />the affected area(s) against further vertical movement for the lifetime of the structure from the date of installation. Contractor DOES NOT
<br />WARRANT TO LIFT ANY STRUCTURE, to close cracks, to render doors and windows operational, or to move walls back to their original position,
<br />but will do its best to achieve positive results in this regard, if lift is requested by Customer. Contractor is not responsible for any damages caused

<br />detailed knowledge of the existing foundation construction or subsurface conditions at the site. Contractor reserves the right to conduct a more
<br />thorough subsurface investigation, if necessary. Such an investigation may result in additional charges and delays.
<br />4. Steel Columns/Adjustable Screw Jacks/IntelliJack Supports/SettleStop Floor Supports. Contractor warrants that the support system will stabilize the
<br />affected area(s) against further vertical movement for a period of two (2) years from the date of installation. This two (2) years warranty against

<br />move as a result of changes in environmental conditions and/or changes in the building envelope conditions. Contractor is not responsible for wood
<br />repair (i.e., joist sistering, beam replacement, sill plate repair, cracking/movement in hardwood flooring or tiles) incidental to changes in
<br />environmental conditions and/or changes in the building envelope conditions, unless specifically noted in this Contract. Contractor warrants
<br />carpentry work for a period of one (1) year. Steel columns/adjustable screw jacks are sold and installed without the benefit of detailed knowledge of
<br />the existing foundation construction or subsurface conditions at the site. Contractor reserves the right to conduct a more thorough subsurface
<br />investigation, if necessary. Such an investigation may result in additional charges and delays.
<br />5. Slab Piers. Contractor warrants that the slab piers will stabilize the affected area(s) against further vertical movement for a period of ten (10) years
<br />from the date of installation. Contractors DOES NOT WARRANT TO LIFT the slab back to its original position.
<br />6. Water Management. Contractor warrants that if water from the walls or floor wall joint passes through the perimeter of the water management
<br />system and into the basement floor, Contractor will provide the additional labor and materials to fix the leak at no additional charge to the Customer.
<br />This warranty applies to water management systems along the specific areas where the system is installed. This warranty will be in effect for the
<br />lifetime of the structure and may be transferred to future homeowners provided Contractor is notified within thirty (30) days of the real estate
<br />transfer. Annual maintenance is strongly recommended for all water management systems, but is not required for the warranty to be in effect. The
<br />water management system shall not rust, rot, or corrode for the life of the structure. If the entire perimeter of the basement was not treated, then
<br />additional work at an additional charge may be necessary to extend the system or treat other areas or other problems not addressed by this Work.
<br />In addition, a pump or power failure is possible; therefore, this warranty is not a guarantee of a dry basement. This warranty shall not apply to
<br />condensation, or any system that has been altered in any way, water vapor transmission, concrete discoloration from capillary action, water
<br />squirting out of the walls over the system, window well flooding, plumbing leaks, surface water flooding, leaks from chimneys or garages, wall
<br />dampness, or efflorescence (white powder) on concrete, masonry or bricks. Contractor is not responsible for frozen discharge lines or water once it
<br />is pumped from the structure. Installation of a water management system does not include extending discharge lines more than five (5) feet from the
<br />foundation or electrical work, unless specified. Floor cracks are warranted against leakage only with full perimeter water management systems.
<br />Primary AC operated sump pumps and DC back-up pumps may be covered under a separate manufactureroc gQbbQ^di' IicdU\]c dXQd TbQY^ d_
<br />daylight cannot be warranted by Contractor if such system does not drain enough water, does not drain water from under the floor, clogs, or freezes.
<br />While drainage systems clogging or malfunctioning from iron ochre, iron get, or iron bacteria from the soil are rare, Contractor cannot be responsible
<br />for these situations, or for a system that requires cleaning, flushing, or other service as necessary to keep it functioning.
<br />7. Crawl Space Encapsulation. A crawl space encapsulation system will isolate the home from the earth. The humidity level in the air will be lowered,
<br />reducing moisture; however, the encapsulation system does not claim to be a mold mitigation system and a dehumidification/air purification system

<br />service calls on any tears or holes in the CrawlSeal liner (not caused by abuse or misuse), in the unlikely event this occurs. Wet crawl spaces
<br />require a drainage system and a sump pump system to remedy any problems with water below the liner. There will be no charge for Contractor to
<br />repair tears or holes in the crawl space encapsulation liner, unless Contractor determines that the tear/hole was caused by abuse or misuse. Sump

<br />encapsulation system does not include extending discharge lines more than five (5) feet from the foundation or electrical work, unless specified.
<br />Contractor is not responsible for frozen discharge lines, water once it is pumped from the structure, or condensation. The condition of wood located
<br />in crawl spaces can be highly variable and can rapidly deteriorate or move as a result of changes in environmental conditions and/or changes in the
<br />building envelope conditions. Contractor is not responsible for the repair of pre-existing wood damage unless specifically noted in this Contract.
<br />8. PolyRenewal and Expanding Polyurethane Structural Foam. Contractor represents that expanding polyurethane structural foam will fill voids, but

<br />do so for an additional charge. Contractor warrants that the area where the slab of concrete was stabilized will not settle more than ¼ inch for a
<br />period of five (5) years from the date of installation. If it does, Contractor will provide the labor and materials to re-inject the area at no additional
<br />charge to Customer. This Warranty does not include patching or caulking between slabs. Customer is aware that the concrete may not be perfectly
<br />113
<br />level or may not lift at all. Contractor guarantees stabilization, NOT LIFT. Any personal items in the work area are to be removed by the Customer
