The mortgage is a type of lien. But there are other kinds of liens, such as when a contractor works on your house, and you didn’t pay them, they can place a lien on the property until you pay. In the worst case, a contractor could forclose and force the sale to cover the debt.
I don’t know if “foreclosure” is the right word to describe a forced sale due to a lien, but I do know the person didn’t mean to write “disclosure” instead.
That’s why large projects require a performance bond and a payment bond. The performance bond covers the project, the payment bond covers subcontractors.
Not sure what the feasibility is for a household project, but it’s always good to look for a contractor who is licensed, bonded, and insured and ask for those documents before signing.

In my understanding a lein doesn’t usually lead to disclosure, they just make sure they get paid when it’s sold.
Lien** and for the person you replied to
Also “foreclosure,” not “disclosure.”
Can you be foreclosed on when you own out right? Seems like mortgage terminology.
