Liens, in just about every state are for the protection of the creditor, not the debtor.

You state laws will define what is expected for all liens that are filed. If you want to check if there are existing liens consult the county's public records.

The debtor is not the owner of the house can you put a lien on the house you did work?

Yes, you may have a lien against the house where you agreed to do work, did work or delivered materials , notified the other party that you had completed your part, and were not paid for it, regardless of whose house it is. In most places it's called a "mechanic's lien" or "construction lien", and can be easily recorded through the locally specified bureau, but must usually be done ("perfected") within a limited time after being denied payment. Each state law has its own variations of forms, limits, and so forth. You then sue to collect on the lien within a prescribed period.

How do you put a lien on a house?

Sue the owner, win, and file the judgment with the recorder of deeds, or secure the owner's notarized agreement (for example a mortgage) granting you a lien and file it with the recorder of deeds or perform work on the house and file a mechanic's lien against it or be a governmental entity and file a tax lien, or be a lawyer and handle litigation to help the owner secure or clear title. If you wrongfully file a lien against someone's house, you can get in a great deal of trouble and may be prosecuted criminally and/or sued for slander to title. So, filing liens against someone's home is not something you should do without legal advice.
