Referral and advertising are its whole business. It is not a contractor, waterproofing company, plumber or salesperson of any kind, and it holds no City of Milwaukee contractor or salesperson license. Basement work is never offered, sold, bid on, inspected, performed, financed, scheduled, negotiated or guaranteed by the site, and it does not solicit contracts for anyone. It is no contractor's agent, never names a contractor and never handles a claim with any insurer.

The only thing forwarded is your request to be contacted, and it goes to one independent local contractor, whether you used the form. That business gets in touch about the project, visits only if you agree, writes any estimate and does only the work you contract with it to do. Every agreement is between you and that business.

A flat advertising fee, waived during the current free trial, is the only payment a contractor may make to this site. The fee never depends on whether you sign a contract or how much a job costs. Sending a request costs nothing, and no homeowner receives money, gifts, discounts or any other reward.

Paying to advertise earns no endorsement, and the site does not rank or check contractors. Wisconsin has no general contractor license, so at a city address ask the contractor for its City of Milwaukee home improvement contractor license, look up State Dwelling Contractor credentials at app.wi.gov/licensesearch for permit work, and ask for proof of liability insurance. Sump tie-ins, palmer valves, backwater valves and sewer laterals are work for a licensed plumber with a permit.

The site has no connection with the City of Milwaukee, its Department of Neighborhood Services, Department of Public Works or License Division, MMSD, DATCP, DSPS, DFI, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, the National Weather Service, USGS, Milwaukee or Waukesha County, or any city or village it mentions. Wisconsin law governs this disclosure.
