The site provides general information and a form for asking one independent contractor to get in touch. It is not a contractor, plumber, electrician or any other trade, and it acts for no contractor. It holds no Iowa contractor registration and no Iowa plumbing license; Iowa has no state license for waterproofing. The site does not bid on, price, inspect, perform or contract for basement work, and it takes no deposits. Whatever estimate, contract, payment plan, permit or warranty comes out of it is yours and the contractor's to settle; the site stays out of it.

The site has checked no contractor and makes no promise about any contractor's work, prices, paperwork or insurance. Before you sign, look up the business's Iowa registration with the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, ask for insurance certificates and references, and get a written, itemized contract. Plumbing, such as tying a sump into a drain or installing a backwater valve, is work for a state-licensed plumber with a plumbing permit.

Contractors may pay the site a flat advertising fee. No homeowner is ever charged by the site, and none is handed cash, gifts or any other thing of value.

Guides, cost ranges and tools are general and provided as they are. Figures carry a source and a year and can go out of date. Nothing on the site is legal, insurance, engineering or financial advice.

As far as Iowa law permits, the site's owner accepts no responsibility for losses tied to browsing the site, relying on what it says or doing business with a contractor. Please don't submit false requests, misuse the forms or copy the content for commercial use.

These terms are governed by Iowa law, and any dispute about them belongs in an Iowa court. Revised terms take effect when they are posted on this page.
