About this site
How it works
Orlando Foundation Repair Help is a referral site. It does not repair foundations and employs no inspectors. Calling the number puts you in touch with an independent local foundation repair company.
From the call to a decision
You call
Say that you are calling about a foundation problem at a house, and give the address or the nearest cross streets.
You describe what you see
Where the cracks are, which doors stick, whether a floor slopes, when it began. Notes and photos help.
The company arranges an inspection
It sets a time to visit. Ask who will come and whether the visit is charged for.
You get its findings and its price
The company measures the house and gives you its own opinion and proposal. Those are the company's, not this site's.
You decide
Check the licence, compare, and get a second proposal or an engineer's opinion if you want one. If you go ahead, you hire the company directly.
Who should call
Owners of houses, people buying or selling one, and landlords of rental houses, when the house shows signs such as cracked walls or slab, sticking doors, sloping floors, a corner that is settling, sagging floors over a crawl space, or a porch or steps pulling away.
If you rent, tell your landlord or property manager, who decides on repairs.
When another trade is the right call
| If the problem is | Call |
|---|---|
| Water coming into the house, or damp walls | A waterproofing or drainage firm |
| A leaking or burst pipe, including one under the slab | A plumber |
| A roof leak | A roofer |
| A kitchen, bathroom or room remodel | A general contractor or remodeler |
| A shop, office, warehouse or apartment block | A commercial structural contractor or an engineer |
| The ground opening up, or a smell of gas | 911 first, and the gas utility |
The phone number is for people who need foundation repair at a house. For anything about the site itself, including business enquiries, use the email address on the contact page.
What it costs you, and what this site does not do
Calling costs you nothing beyond your normal phone charges. This site may be paid by a referral network when you call. The repair company sets its own charges for inspections and repairs and will tell you what they are.
This site does not inspect houses, recommend a repair, check or rate companies, or stand behind anyone's work. Before you hire, run the checks in the guide to choosing a company. The full arrangement is set out in the referral disclosure.
Ready to have the house looked at?
Only someone standing at the house can tell you what is going on under it. Call, explain what you have noticed, and ask for an inspection.
Describe the problem, book an inspection
Say where the cracks or dips are and when you first saw them. The independent local foundation repair company you reach can set a time to look at the house.
