Disclaimer | FoundationCompass

Estimates and general information only. The calculators, ranges, and content on FoundationCompass are rough planning tools based on public cost data and the standard homeowners (HO-3) insurance form. They are not engineering, professional, insurance, or legal advice, and must not be used as a substitute for a licensed structural engineer, a qualified contractor, or your insurer.

No diagnosis

Foundation and structural conditions can only be diagnosed by a qualified professional inspecting your property. Visible symptoms (cracks, water, sticking doors) can have very different causes and fixes. Do not make repair, purchase, or safety decisions based on this site alone.

No coverage determination

Our insurance verdict tool reflects general HO-3 logic. It is not a coverage determination. Only your specific policy language, your insurer, and (where applicable) your state regulator determine whether a loss is covered. Always read your policy and confirm with your insurer.

No warranty

Content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Costs vary widely by region, soil, severity, access, and contractor.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FoundationCompass and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on this site.

Advertising & affiliate disclosure

This site may display third-party advertising (including Google AdSense) and may contain affiliate or third-party links. We may earn revenue from ads or referrals. Advertising does not influence our estimates or editorial content.

Third-party links

We link to external sources for reference. We are not responsible for the content or accuracy of third-party sites.

Changes

We may update this disclaimer at any time. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the current version.
