How we get paid

When a number appears

Some pages will show a phone number for foundation or basement work. The number belongs to a contractor or a call network that sends calls to contractors. When you call it and reach them, they pay us a flat fee for that referral. The fee never depends on the price of your job.

Next to every number the page says so, in the same size text as the rest of the page: we're a referral service, we don't do the work, and the company named does all work and pays us for the referral. Each call starts with a recorded notice that it is recorded and who it connects you to.

What we don't do

• We don't repair, waterproof or inspect anything, and we never say we do.
• We never call or text you. Calls only happen when you place them.
• We don't sell or share information about you. There are no forms on this site.
• We don't list reviews or ratings of contractors.
• The data on a page never changes because of who pays us. A page exists because its data does, whether or not a number appears on it.

Every fact about the site itself, from what it covers to where its data comes from, is on About Foundation Soils.
