How Foundation & Basement Repair Network Works

Foundation & Basement Repair Network connects homeowners with licensed, insured foundation repair and basement waterproofing contractors. Here's exactly what happens when you contact us.

Step 1: You describe the problem

Call the number on this site or submit a request form. Tell us what you're seeing — the type of crack, where water is entering, whether floors are uneven, or whether walls appear to be bowing. Photos help if you have them. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong — that's the contractor's job.

Step 2: We match you with licensed contractors

Based on your location and the type of problem you describe, we connect you with licensed, insured contractors in our network who specialize in that type of repair. Contractors in our network serve Phoenix, Charlotte, Atlanta, Columbus, Tampa, and surrounding areas, with coverage expanding regularly.

Step 3: You get free, competing estimates

Contractors contact you to schedule a free on-site estimate. They inspect your foundation in person, diagnose the problem, and provide a written estimate for the repair. You are under no obligation to hire any contractor.

How we get paid

Contractors pay us when they receive your contact information as a lead. You are never charged. This is how we keep free estimates free. See our Advertising Disclosure for full details.

What to expect from the estimate visit

A licensed foundation contractor will inspect your foundation walls and floor, probe the exterior if necessary, and explain what they're seeing in plain language. A good contractor will tell you whether your crack is structural or cosmetic, whether it's active or stable, and what repair method they recommend — and why. Get a written estimate with the specific repair method, materials, and warranty terms before agreeing to anything.

Verifying your contractor

Before authorizing work, verify that your contractor holds a current state contractor's license and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Your state contractor licensing board maintains a searchable license database. Ask for the policy information and certificate of insurance before work begins.
