What the site provides is general information plus a form that asks one independent contractor to get in touch. The site holds no Michigan residential builder license, no maintenance and alteration contractor license and no plumbing license, and it is not a plumber, electrician, residential builder, maintenance and alteration contractor or any other kind of contractor, nor any contractor's agent. Bidding, pricing, inspecting, performing or contracting for basement work are all outside what it does, and it accepts no deposits. Estimates, agreements, payments, permits and warranties are settled by you and the contractor alone.

No contractor has been checked by the site, and the site promises nothing about anyone's workmanship, prices, paperwork or insurance. Because Michigan licenses basement waterproofing, find the contractor's license yourself in LARA's online license lookup, request its insurance certificates and the names of recent local customers, and insist on a written agreement signed by you both. Tying a sump into a drain, fitting a backflow valve or repairing a lateral counts as plumbing, so it calls for a licensed plumbing contractor and a plumbing permit.

The site may receive a flat advertising fee from contractors. It sends no bill to any homeowner and gives none of them money, presents or other value.

The guides, ranges and tools here are general and come with no warranty. Each figure shows a source and a year, and figures age. None of it amounts to legal, insurance, engineering or financial advice.

So far as Michigan law allows, the owner of the site is not liable for losses connected with visiting it, acting on its content or doing business with any contractor. Please keep requests genuine, use the forms as intended and leave the content uncopied for commercial ends.

These terms fall under Michigan law, and Michigan courts hear any dispute over them. A revised version takes effect on the day it is posted.
