Guides are not a diagnosis

Our problem guides and tools are general information. They cannot tell you what is wrong with your foundation or what repair you need. Only a qualified person who sees the property, such as a structural engineer, can do that.

If you think there is an immediate safety risk, leave the area and contact your local emergency services.

Permits, engineering and insurance

We do not say whether your project needs a permit or an engineer, or whether your insurance covers a repair. Those answers come from your municipality, a licensed engineer and your insurer.

Listings

Listings come from public business listings and from words found on each company's website. They may be incomplete or out of date. A listing is not an endorsement. We do not check licences, insurance or the quality of anyone's work.

Links to other sites

We link to contractor websites and official sources. We are not responsible for their content, which can change after we check it.
