Warranty takeover · left unprotected
Foundation company gone? We can take over your home's care.
Foundation companies come and go. When the one that repaired your home closes its doors, stops answering, or simply won't honor its warranty, you're left holding a piece of paper that no longer protects you. Motmot steps in — we re-inspect, advise, monitor, and back the work we do.
When this happens
A warranty is only as good as the company behind it.
- ›The company that did your repair closed or dissolved
- ›They won't answer the phone or schedule a warranty visit
- ›They were bought out and the new owner won't honor the old warranty
- ›Your warranty was 'voided' over a technicality you were never told about
- ›The repair is showing movement and the original installer is nowhere to be found
You can't make a defunct company answer the phone. But you can get your home back under real, active care.
What a Motmot takeover includes
We don't just re-inspect. We look after the home.
This is the part most companies skip — and the part that actually keeps a foundation stable. Every warranty takeover comes with all of it.
A full re-inspection
We measure your floor elevations and assess how the existing repair is actually holding up — not a sales walk-through, a survey.
Written recommendations
A clear, plain-English assessment of where your foundation stands and what, if anything, it needs — in writing, so it's yours to keep.
Drainage-control recommendations
Gutters, downspouts, grading, and watering — the moisture management that decides whether a repair stays put. We tell you exactly what to fix.
Home-care recommendations
Trees, irrigation, and seasonal habits that protect your slab. The unglamorous maintenance that prevents the expensive surprises.
An annual performance visit
We come back at least once a year, re-measure, and compare against your baseline — catching new movement while it's still small and cheap to address.
A warranty on our work
If corrective work is needed, we perform it and back it with our lifetime transferable warranty — real, documented protection going forward.
Why the yearly visit matters
Clay moves every season. We watch it so you don't have to.
The reason a one-time repair can drift isn't bad work — it's that the soil never stops changing volume. An annual re-measurement against your baseline turns that uncertainty into a managed, known thing. Small movements get caught and corrected early; nothing waits years to become a crisis. It's the same reason we check in with every customer we repair — and now you get it too. Learn the mechanics in Texas clay soil, explained.
Honest about the fine print
What “warranty takeover” really means.
Let's be precise, because the word gets used loosely. No company can legally honor another company's signed warranty contract — that obligation belonged to a business that no longer exists. Anyone who tells you they'll simply “assume” your old warranty is overpromising.
What Motmot actually does is more useful: we re-inspect the home, document its current condition, hand you recommendations and a maintenance plan, monitor performance with an annual visit, and put our own lifetime transferable warranty on any corrective work we perform. That's the protection the original warranty was supposed to give you — delivered by a company that's still here to stand behind it. Already mid-project with a vanished contractor instead? See project takeover.
