Basement Waterproofing Baltimore MD (basementwaterproofingbaltimoremd.com) is a free referral and advertising service for homeowners in Baltimore, MD and nearby Baltimore County communities. This page sets out what the site does and how it is paid.
The site is not a home improvement contractor or salesperson, and it holds no Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license. It does not offer, perform, bid on, inspect, guarantee, negotiate, sell or arrange basement work, and it never talks price, presents a contract or takes a deposit. It is not a plumber. It does not deal with insurers, or advise anyone on coverage or claims. It never names a contractor.
When you send the form, your request goes to one independent local contractor. That business contacts you, visits if you agree, prepares any estimate and does whatever work you decide to have done. Any agreement is between you and that contractor alone. Maryland requires a contractor to show its own name and MHIC number on its ads, estimates and contracts, so look for both there.
Contractors may pay this site a flat fee for advertising, offered for now as a free trial. The fee is never a share of a contract and never depends on a job being signed. Homeowners never pay the site and never receive money, gifts, discounts or anything else of value for making a request.
Paying for advertising earns a contractor no endorsement, and no contractor has been checked by this site. Before you sign, look up the MHIC license on MHIC's online lookup or at 1-888-218-5925; work by a contractor MHIC has licensed can make the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund available to you, up to $30,000, and eligibility limits apply. Any sump tie-in, backwater valve, ejector or sewer lateral calls for a Maryland-licensed plumber and a plumbing permit.
The site has no connection with Baltimore City, DPW, DHCD, 311, Baltimore County, PAI, DPWT, MHIC, the Attorney General, the Maryland State Board of Plumbing, MDE or the National Weather Service. Maryland law governs this disclosure.
