Basement Waterproofing Dayton OH (basementwaterproofingdaytonoh.com) is a free referral and advertising service for homeowners in Dayton, OH and five nearby Montgomery County cities. This page lays out plainly what the site is and the single way it can earn money.
The site refers and advertises, and does nothing else. It is no contractor, plumber, electrician or HVAC contractor, no salesperson of any sort, and no contractor's agent. No City of Dayton contractor registration or Ohio trade license has been issued to it, and the state licenses no one for waterproofing. Basement work is something it never performs, sells, offers, solicits, bids on, quotes, inspects, schedules, arranges, coordinates, negotiates, finances or guarantees. It takes no deposits and contracts with no homeowner.
The one thing it forwards is a homeowner's request to be contacted, made through the form, and it goes to one independent local contractor. From there, each step belongs to the contractor: it makes contact, arranges whatever comes next, comes to the house only if you invite it, writes any estimate and performs only the work the two of you agree on.
Contractors may pay this site a flat advertising fee, which a free trial waives for now. The fee stays the same whether or not you sign and whatever a job costs; it is never a commission and never charged per request or per job. Sending a request is free, and no homeowner is given cash, gifts or any other value.
Advertising buys no endorsement. The site never names, recommends or vouches for a contractor, because naming one could suggest an approval that Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act bars anyone from claiming falsely. Ask the contractor for its business name, insurance certificates and recent customers, and for plumbing, electrical or HVAC work in Dayton, check its City registration with Building Services, 937-333-3883. Sump tie-ins, backwater valves and sewer laterals belong to a licensed plumber working under a permit.
The site does not handle insurance matters or any sewer-backup report; backups go to the City, MCES or the town that owns the sewer. It has no tie to the City of Dayton or its Building Services, Sewer Maintenance Bureau, Public Works or Engineering, to Montgomery County, MCES, the Building Regulations Division or Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, or to OCILB, Ohio EPA, the National Weather Service, the Ohio Attorney General, USDA, the Miami Conservancy District or any of the five towns. Ohio law governs this disclosure.
