Basement Waterproofing Lansing MI (basementwaterproofinglansingmi.com) is a referral and advertising service for owners of homes in Lansing, MI and five nearby Michigan communities. Below is what it does, what it does not do, and where its money comes from.
It is not a contractor of any kind: not a residential builder, maintenance and alteration contractor, plumber or electrician, not a salesperson, and not any contractor's agent. Michigan has given it no license as a residential builder, maintenance and alteration contractor or plumber. Because basement waterproofing is a licensed trade here, the contractor's license is yours to check on LARA's online license lookup.
The site does not offer, solicit, sell, perform, arrange, schedule or coordinate basement work, and it does not bid on, quote, inspect, guarantee, negotiate or finance any. No commitment is obtained, no deposit is taken and no homeowner contracts with it.
Its one job is small. The estimate form carries your request to be contacted to one independent contractor. From there the contractor gets in touch, arranges whatever follows and stands behind its own estimate and work. Any deal you strike belongs to you and that business alone.
A flat advertising fee may come from contractors, though a free trial sets it aside for now. That fee is not a commission on any contract and is not billed per request or per job. Homeowners pay the site nothing and receive no money, gifts, discounts or rewards of any kind, and nobody is rewarded for pointing others to the site.
An advertising fee does not buy a recommendation. No contractor is named, recommended or vouched for anywhere on the site. Before signing, look up the license yourself, collect insurance certificates and recent local customers, and get a written agreement both sides sign. Sump tie-ins, backflow valves and lateral repairs are plumbing, which Michigan reserves for a licensed plumbing contractor working under a plumbing permit.
Insurance matters, sewer-backup reports, the City's claim form and B2P2 applications are all outside the site. It is independent of every public body it mentions, among them the City of Lansing and its offices, the Lansing Board of Water & Light, LARA, the Michigan Attorney General, Meridian Township, Delhi Township and the Cities of East Lansing, Grand Ledge and DeWitt, MI. Michigan law governs this disclosure.
