What kind of calls you'll get
The campaign targets foundation repair-intent searches — homeowners actively looking to hire someone, not researching brand pages or browsing options. Calls usually involve one of these services:
- ✓ Foundation crack repair
- ✓ Basement waterproofing
- ✓ Pier & beam leveling
- ✓ Slab repair & lifting
- ✓ Crawl space encapsulation
- ✓ Wall crack stabilization
- ✓ Drainage & grading correction
You opt into the specific services you want during signup. If you only do foundation crack repair and not drainage & grading correction, just check the boxes that match. Out-of-scope calls (a customer asking about something you don't do) aren't billable — dispute and we refund.
Will pay-per-call make foundation repair pros money?
The honest answer is: it depends on three numbers — your average job value, your gross margin after parts and labor, and your close rate on qualified calls. The break-even per-call price is:
The reason the math works for foundation repair pros specifically: Considered purchase: customer has been planning the job, gathering quotes, ready to book the in-home consultation. That intent profile is what makes per-call pricing profitable. Form-fill leads at the same dollar cost convert at a fraction of the rate because the customer is no longer on the phone by the time you call back.
We give you your exact per-call price during signup based on your service area and selected services. You can run the math yourself before you put a dollar in.
Why this beats shared foundation repair leads from Angi
Angi (and HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack) sell each foundation repair lead to four to seven contractors at once. You get a notification, you race the others to call the homeowner, and you usually lose because the homeowner answered the first contractor and stopped picking up. Pay-per-call is the inverse: the call rings only your phone. The customer is calling you because they saw your tracking number on a landing page that mentions foundation repair. There is no race. There is no shared queue. Read the full math comparison at pay-per-call vs Angi.

Who shouldn't use pay-per-call foundation repair leads
We'd rather lose a sale than waste your money. Pay-per-call is wrong for some foundation repair pros. Specifically:
- You can't reliably answer the phone during business hours. A call you don't answer is a wasted opportunity. Set up an answering service first or you'll burn deposit money.
- You're already at full capacity. If you're turning down jobs, you don't need more leads. Hire first.
- Your average foundation repair job is small (<$150) and your close rate is below 25%. The math gets thin at low ticket sizes — you'd need very low per-call pricing to make it work.
- You're in a hyper-niche corner of the trade with very low search demand. Pay-per-call requires somebody is searching. If only a handful of people in your area search for what you do, no marketing model fixes that.
Foundation Repair contractor questions
Foundation repair jobs are high-ticket — are these calls worth the per-call price? +
Foundation repair averages $4,000–$12,000 per job. Even at premium per-call rates, the math works if you close one job in ten calls. Most of our foundation clients close at far better rates than that because the leads are exclusive and the callers are already in fear-driven purchase mode.
Can I get basement waterproofing calls separate from structural repair calls? +
Yes. Waterproofing and drainage calls are a distinct opt-in from structural crack or pier work. These are different job types with different equipment — only take calls for what you're set up to do.
Do these calls require a free estimate visit before quoting? +
Almost always yes — and that's fine. The call gets you the appointment. You run the estimate, present the scope, and close on site. We deliver the first conversation; your process handles the rest.
