What this site does

BedrockBearing is a free matching service for US homeowners. We provide general educational information and, if you ask, we may connect you with participating foundation repair contractors.

We do not inspect homes, diagnose structural causes, design repairs, perform work, supervise contractors, pull permits, or guarantee results. We are not a structural engineer, geotechnical engineer, home inspector, foundation repair contractor, lawyer, lender, or insurer.

If you want help finding contractors, you can use get matched. If you want background on pricing, see costs.

Using this site means you understand that any information here is general. It may not fit your soil, drainage, structure, site access, or local code requirements.

Important safety and advice disclaimer

Foundation and structural problems can be serious. Some are mainly maintenance issues. Some are a real safety risk.

Take warning signs seriously. If a wall is actively moving, a large new crack is opening quickly, doors suddenly will not close because of major movement, or you see signs of possible collapse, leave the area and contact a licensed structural engineer or your local building department right away.

For non-urgent problems, we strongly recommend an evaluation by an independent, licensed structural engineer before hiring any repair contractor. Independent means the engineer does not also sell the repair. That helps protect you from paying for work you may not need. Learn more about a structural engineer evaluation.

Any cost information on this site is a typical range only, never a quote, bid, or guarantee. Real price depends on the cause, soil and site conditions, access, repair method, permit needs, and your area.

How matching works

If you contact us, here is the basic process:

1. You tell us what you are seeing, such as cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors, water intrusion, or a bowing wall, plus your contact details.
2. We use that information to try to match you with participating licensed and insured foundation repair pros in your area.
3. The pros contact you directly so you can ask questions, compare scope, and decide whether to schedule anything.

Matching is free to the homeowner. Participating pros pay us a flat fee to be part of the service.

We may offer multilingual help so more homeowners, including new immigrants and non-native English speakers, can understand their options. But you are still responsible for reviewing proposals carefully and making your own hiring decision.

Your responsibilities as a homeowner

You stay in control of the project.

• Verify license and insurance yourself before hiring anyone.
• Get the repair scope, materials, warranty terms, timeline, and total price in writing before paying a deposit.
• Follow local permit and building code requirements.
• Compare more than one estimate when possible.
• Prefer an engineer-first process, especially for settlement, bowing walls, or repeated movement.
• Hold final payment until the agreed work is completed.

You agree not to use this site to submit false property details, impersonate someone else, spam contractors, or request services for unlawful purposes.

Information, privacy, and limits

Please share only the details needed to understand the problem and contact you. That usually means your name, property location, phone, email, and what you are seeing. Do not send sensitive information like Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or unrelated private records.

We try to keep the site useful and accurate, but we cannot promise that every page is complete, current, or right for your situation. Contractor availability can change. Local laws, code rules, soils, and pricing can also change.

By using the site, you understand that BedrockBearing is not responsible for the work, omissions, statements, schedules, pricing, permits, warranties, or actions of any contractor you may contact through the service. You choose who to hire, and any contract is between you and that provider.
