Terms & Conditions

1.About This Website

This website is operated by American Foundation Specialists ("American Foundation Specialists," "we," "us," or "our"), a family-owned foundation repair and basement waterproofing company based in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. The site provides general information about our company, services, service areas and the foundation and basement problems we repair.

Nothing on this website is an offer to provide services. Any repair or waterproofing work is governed solely by a separate written estimate or contract.

2.No Professional Advice

Content on this website, including articles, FAQs and descriptions of foundation and basement problems, is for general informational purposes only. It is not a diagnosis of your home and is not engineering, legal or other professional advice. Every home, foundation and soil condition is different.

Only an on-site inspection can determine what is causing a problem and what repair is appropriate. Visiting this website or contacting us through it does not create a contractor-customer relationship.

3.Inspections, Estimates & Warranties

Submitting a form or calling us is a request for an inspection. It does not guarantee an appointment time or that we will perform any work. Prices, repair methods and timelines are provided only in a written estimate following an inspection and may change if conditions differ from what we could see.

Any warranty for our work is provided only in your written contract. Its terms, length and limitations are those stated in that contract. Nothing on this website creates or modifies a warranty.

4.Photos & Illustrations

Some images on this website are illustrations used to show common foundation and basement problems and the types of repairs we perform. They may not depict actual American Foundation Specialists projects, and they are not a promise of specific results. Results depend on the condition of each home.

5.Reviews & Testimonials

Reviews and testimonials on this website reflect the individual experiences of real customers. They are not a guarantee that your project will have the same outcome. Ratings shown are drawn from our public Google Business Profile and may change over time.

6.Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on this website is owned by or licensed to American Foundation Specialists and is protected by United States copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. This includes text, photographs, videos, graphics, logos and the site's overall look and layout.
