What the site provides is reading material and a form that asks one independent contractor to get in touch. As for what it is not: a contractor, plumber, electrician or broker, or any contractor's agent. It has no residential or general contractor license and no plumbing license. It does none of the following: doing, inspecting, bidding on, quoting, pricing, scheduling or guaranteeing basement work, handing out contracts or holding deposits. The estimate, the contract, payment, permits and any warranty are settled by you and the contractor directly.

No contractor is checked by the site, and it makes no promise about anyone's workmanship, pricing, paperwork or coverage. The Secretary of State counts "Damp proofing and Waterproofing" among Georgia's specialty trades; structural repair may raise other questions. Ask the contractor what Georgia license the work calls for, if one applies, confirm it on the Secretary of State's online license search, and request its business license, insurance certificates and recent references. Hooking a sump into house plumbing, a backwater valve or any opening of the house's sewer pipe is a job for a Georgia-licensed plumber with a plumbing permit.

Contractors can buy advertising here at a flat fee. No homeowner pays, and none receives cash, gifts or other value.

The guides, ranges and tools are general, provided as is with no warranty, and each figure carries a source and year that may age. Read nothing here as legal, insurance, engineering or financial advice.

As far as Georgia law permits, the owner of the site carries no liability for loss tied to visiting it, acting on its pages or working with any contractor. Please send only real requests, keep each form to its purpose and leave the content alone for commercial reuse.

Georgia law governs these terms, and any dispute over them goes to the courts of Georgia. A revised version takes effect once posted.
