Our standards
Editorial policy
HyreFoundation publishes guidance for homeowners who are about to hire a foundation repair professional. Every factual claim is sourced to a named primary document with a retrieval date.
This page is the policy that governs that work: what we will publish, what we will not, how we expect to make money, and what happens when something here is wrong.
Sourcing
Factual claims are sourced to primary material: federal and state agencies, model code bodies, industry standards and published research. Where a claim is time-sensitive it carries the date it was last checked, and the source is linked on the page rather than kept in a file somewhere.
What we will not publish
- A national average price presented as though it were your price.
- Company listings, ratings or reviews we cannot support from primary sources.
- Testimonials, case studies, statistics, certifications or awards we cannot evidence.
- Pages written to rank for a phrase rather than to answer a question.
Gaps stay visible
Where we do not have verified data, the page says so. That is why this site carries no company directory today: the research process behind it is still being built, and an empty framework described honestly is worth more than a populated one that cannot be defended.
How we expect to make money
HyreFoundation expects to earn revenue by connecting homeowners with foundation repair professionals. That relationship will be disclosed wherever it applies, and it will not determine what the guidance says. Nobody can buy a placement, a ranking or a favorable description on this site.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, tell us using the contact details below. We fix errors in place, change the review date, and note the correction where it changes the substance of what we said.
