Who we are
foundationsage publishes independent cost information for foundation, basement and crawl space repair in the United States. We are a publisher and referral service. We are not a contractor and we do not perform, schedule or warranty repair work.
What we collect
Information you give us
- Estimate requests. If you request estimates, you may provide a ZIP code and contact details. This is voluntary — nothing on this site requires it, and all cost content is free without it.
- Correspondence. If you contact us with a correction or question, we keep what you send in order to reply.
Information collected automatically
- Basic usage data — pages viewed, referring site, approximate region, device and browser type.
- Cookies, where used, as described below.
The cost calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your inputs are not sent to us or to anyone else, and we do not store them. There is no email gate on the result.
How we use it
- To deliver and improve the site.
- To connect you with contractors when — and only when — you request estimates.
- To respond to correspondence.
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns.
We do not sell your personal information.
Who receives your information
- Contractors and lead partners — only when you request estimates, and only those who will bid your job. Their own privacy policies govern what they do with it afterward.
- Analytics providers — aggregate usage data.
- Advertising partners — where display advertising runs, in accordance with the disclosures below.
- Legal requirements — where we're legally required to disclose.
If you call a tracked phone number on this site, that call is routed through a call-tracking service and the call may be recorded or logged by the receiving contractor under their own policies.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies for basic site function and, where enabled, privacy-respecting analytics. Where third-party advertising runs, those partners may set their own cookies for ad delivery and measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking them will not affect access to any content on this site.
Advertising and affiliate disclosures
Referral fees
Contractors pay us a referral fee when you request estimates through this site. You pay nothing, and the fee does not change the price you are quoted. Full detail on how we make money.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission on a resulting booking or purchase at
no additional cost to you. Affiliate and sponsored links carry rel="sponsored" and are disclosed
where they appear.
Amazon Associates
Where the site participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com — we earn from qualifying purchases. Any such links are disclosed as affiliate links.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold, to opt out of its sale or sharing (we do not sell it), and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights. California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA. Contact us to make a request.
Once you have submitted an estimate request, contractors who received your details hold that information independently — you'll need to contact them directly to have it removed from their systems.
Children
This site is intended for adult homeowners and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information transmitted through this site. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes
We'll update this page when our practices change, and revise the date at the top.
