From phone call to proposal
You dial the number
If you are asked for your ZIP code, it is to find a company that works on your street.
An independent company answers
It is a foundation repair business that works in the Chattanooga area, with its own name, staff and license.
You describe the problem
Where it is, when it started, what kind of foundation the house has. The company decides with you whether a visit makes sense.
The company inspects
It books the time directly with you. Ask what the visit includes and whether there is any charge for it.
You receive its findings and price
In writing, from the company. Any contract you sign is with that company alone.
What the site does and does not do
It does
- Publish plain information about foundation problems in this area
- Put you in touch with an independent local repair company by phone
It does not
- Inspect, measure or repair anything
- Employ crews or engineers, or give warranties
- Set prices, choose methods or stand behind a contractor's work
- Vouch for a company's license or insurance; checking those is up to you
Who pays whom
You pay nothing to this site. The repair company may pay a referral fee for the introduction, which is how the site is funded; the referral disclosure sets that out. Whatever you pay for an inspection or a repair is agreed between you and the company, under its contract.
Who should call
The number is for people responsible for a house: homeowners, people buying or selling a home, and landlords of houses. It is for foundation repair specifically, meaning settling, cracked or bowing foundation walls, and sagging crawl space structure.
A few things belong elsewhere. A leak with no structural movement is for a plumber or a basement waterproofing specialist. Roof and gutter repairs are for a roofer. Commercial buildings and contractors looking for work are outside what this number is set up to help with.
