This site does not waterproof, repair or build anything, and it never offers or agrees to. Nobody from the site visits a home, examines a basement, names a price or signs a contract. Because it does none of that work, it has no contractor license from the City of St. Louis or from St. Louis County. It also stays out of insurance entirely: it doesn't manage, advise on or negotiate anything with an insurer for a homeowner. Questions about coverage go to your own insurer or agent.

When you use the form, your request travels to exactly one independent local contractor. That firm contacts you, comes out only if you say yes, writes any estimate and takes on only the jobs you hire it for. Any contract you sign binds you and that firm, not this site.

Money flows one way. Contractors may pay this site for advertising, which is a free trial at present. Homeowners never pay the site, and none receives money, gifts, discounts or perks for asking for an estimate.

Paying for advertising doesn't earn a contractor a ranking or a recommendation; the site endorses no one. With no statewide contractor license in Missouri, the checks are local. In the City, confirm a City business license through the License Collector, (314) 622-4528; in the County, ask your municipality what it requires. Backflow valves, drain connections and sewer laterals require a licensed plumber or drainlayer plus a permit. Get proof of liability insurance and workers' comp as well.

Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act prohibits deceptive advertising, and this page is written to be exactly accurate about the site. The site is unaffiliated with the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, any municipality, MSD, the State of Missouri and the National Weather Service. Missouri law governs this disclosure.
