1. What foundationsage is
foundationsage is an independent publisher of cost information about foundation, basement and crawl space repair in the United States, and a referral service that can connect homeowners with licensed contractors.
We are not a contractor. We do not perform repair work, schedule repair work, supervise contractors, or warranty any work performed by anyone. We are not a construction company, an engineering firm, an insurance adviser or a licensed inspector.
2. Cost information is an estimate, not a quote
All prices, ranges and calculator results on this site are estimates of typical market pricing for informational purposes. They are not quotes, offers, or guarantees of price or availability.
Actual costs vary with soil conditions, access, local labor rates, permit requirements, and the scope a licensed professional defines after inspecting your property. Only a licensed contractor can give you a binding price for your specific job.
3. Not professional engineering or inspection advice
Content on this site is general information. It is not a structural assessment of your property and cannot substitute for one. Assessing whether a specific foundation has a structural problem requires a qualified professional physically examining that structure.
Where a decision is structural, or involves significant expenditure, we recommend engaging an independent licensed structural engineer. Nothing on this site should be relied on as the sole basis for a repair decision.
4. Our role in contractor referrals
If you request estimates, we pass your request to contractors or lead partners who may contact you. In doing so:
- We are acting as an advertising and referral service, not as your agent or representative.
- We do not employ, control or supervise any contractor, and we are not party to any contract between you and them.
- We make no warranty as to any contractor's work, licensing status, insurance, pricing or conduct.
- Verifying licensing, insurance, references and contract terms remains your responsibility.
- Any dispute arising from work performed is between you and the contractor.
Contractors pay us a referral fee for these introductions. See how we make money.

This site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We compile and review our data carefully, but we do not warrant that cost figures are accurate for your situation, current with your local market, or complete.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, foundationsage and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data or property, arising from your use of this site, reliance on its content, or any interaction with a contractor introduced through it.
