Terms of Service and Engineering Disclaimer

Last Updated: March 2026

1. Nature of Services and Platform Classification This platform operates exclusively as an independent, programmatic data analytics and informational aggregator. We are not a licensed professional engineering firm, an architecture firm, a real estate appraisal service, or a construction contractor. The platform utilizes automated algorithmic models, synthesizing United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil volatility data with regional demographic and economic statistics, to generate generalized baseline estimates for foundation repair costs. These automated outputs are provided strictly for educational and market transparency purposes.

2. Disclaimer of Professional Engineering Advice The algorithmic cost estimates, analytical data, and informational content provided on this platform do not constitute professional engineering advice, structural analysis, or a formal diagnostic evaluation. The data presented herein cannot and does not replace a comprehensive, in-person physical inspection conducted by a state-licensed structural engineer. We strongly advise all users to retain an independent, licensed structural engineer to perform a site-specific evaluation prior to authorizing any structural modifications, executing contracts with foundation repair companies, or commencing construction.

3. Restrictions on Algorithmic Data Utility and Limitation of Liability The cost estimates provided by this platform are illustrative starting points designed to correct information asymmetry in the contracting market. These automated estimates are explicitly not certified appraisals, opinions of probable construction cost, or professional engineering reports. Consequently, the data generated by this platform cannot be utilized for formal legal, regulatory, or financial purposes. The estimates provided herein are strictly prohibited from being used to secure mortgage lending, obtain bank loans, process property insurance claims, negotiate real estate transactions, or apply for government housing grants. The platform assumes no liability for cost overruns, undetected structural failures, property damage, or discrepancies between our algorithmic estimate and the final pricing provided by a local contractor.

4. Affiliate Marketing Disclosure and Pay-Per-Call Routing (FTC Disclosure) In compliance with Federal Trade Commission regulations, users are hereby notified that this platform operates utilizing a Pay-Per-Call affiliate marketing model. We maintain material financial connections with third-party home improvement affiliate networks. When users dial the toll-free telephone numbers displayed on this platform, the call is seamlessly routed to an independent, third-party service provider network. We receive financial compensation in the form of a commission or referral fee for generating these inbound phone inquiries. This compensation arrangement does not influence the algorithmic cost data displayed on the site, which is generated strictly via independent, automated datasets.
