What the site does is narrow: it publishes general reading material and forwards one request to one independent local contractor. It is not a contractor and never performs, offers or agrees to perform basement work. Neither the City of St. Louis nor St. Louis County has issued it a contractor license. It sends nobody to your house, prices nothing, signs nothing and keeps out of every matter involving insurers. Anything about an estimate, contract, payment, permit or warranty is settled between you and the firm you pick.

We say nothing, and promise nothing, about any contractor's skill, rates, licenses or coverage. Do your own checking first. For a City job, the License Collector at (314) 622-4528 can confirm the firm's City business license; in the County, ask your municipality about its license or registration. Learn which licensed plumber or drainlayer will handle drain or lateral work, get proof of liability insurance and workers' comp, and sign a written contract before anyone starts.

Contractors may buy advertising from the site. It charges homeowners nothing and gives them no money, gifts or other items of value.

Cost ranges, articles and tools appear without warranty, for general use, each figure dated and sourced, and some will age. Treat none of it as legal, insurance, engineering or financial advice.

Where Missouri law allows, the site and its owner carry no liability for losses linked to these pages, to relying on them or to any contractor you hire. Don't submit fake requests, try to disrupt the site or copy its writing for business use.

Missouri law governs these terms, and Missouri courts hear any dispute about them. A revised version applies once it is posted here.
