Step by step
From your call to a written proposal
You call the number on this page
It is the same number at the top of every page and in the red buttons.
You are connected with a foundation repair company
It is an independent local business that works on houses in your area. It is not owned by this website and its staff are not this website's staff.
You describe what you have seen
The symptom, where it is, how long it has been there, and whether the house is on a crawl space, a slab or a basement.
The company arranges an inspection
It agrees a time with you directly. Ask whether there is a charge for the visit.
You receive its findings and price
Ask for them in writing. The proposal is the company's own and so is the warranty.
You decide
Hire that company, get another opinion, pay an engineer for an independent view, or do nothing for now. The choice stays with you.
Plainly
What this service is and is not
It is
- A way to reach a local foundation repair company with one call.
- Paid for by the companies: one you reach here may pay a fee for the introduction.
- A set of guides written for homeowners around Murfreesboro.
It is not
- A contractor, an engineering firm or an inspection service.
- A judge of the company's work. Check its licence and insurance yourself.
- A party to your contract. That is between you and the company you hire.
Who should call
The right number, and the wrong one
Call if you own a house, are buying or selling one, or rent one out, and something about its foundation worries you: cracks, floors, doors, a wall, a crawl space, ground sinking by the house.
For a burst pipe call a plumber. For a wet basement with nothing cracked, a waterproofing specialist. For a roof, a roofer. This number is for people with a house to look after. It is not a way to reach companies about jobs, sales pitches or commercial buildings.
Have ready
What helps on the call
- The address of the house and whether you own it.
- The main symptom in one sentence.
- Roughly when you first noticed it and whether it has changed.
- The foundation type, if you know it.
- Times in the coming week when someone could visit.
Questions
About the call
Do I pay anything to use this service?
You pay nothing to this website. The repair company sets its own charges, including whether it charges for an inspection.
Am I committed to anything by calling?
No. A phone call and an inspection do not oblige you to hire anyone.
Will I always get the same company?
Not necessarily. Which company you reach depends on your location and on which companies are taking calls at the time.
One phone call
Speak with a foundation repair company near Murfreesboro
Mention the crack, the dip or the lean, name the room, and give the month you first spotted it. Whoever picks up belongs to a Middle Tennessee foundation outfit whose only tie to this website is the referral. They can pencil in an inspection and follow it with a written price.
A house that is cracking as you listen, a wall on the point of failing, gas in the air: everybody outside first, then 911 and the gas company.
Expect the call to be recorded. Two short pages cover the rest: who pays for referrals and what becomes of call details.
