What we publish.

Three free, independent reference sites — each built from an authoritative public dataset, with the source named on every page. Reporters: we're glad to pull a custom cut from any of these for a story.

Foundation Repair Data

Soil-risk scores for 2,618 U.S. county-equivalent jurisdictions

Expansive ("shrink-swell") clay is among the most common causes of foundation damage in the U.S. Foundation Repair Data scores that risk for 2,618 U.S. county-equivalent jurisdictions, names the leading mapped expansive soil series under each, and pairs it with plain-English repair-cost guidance for homeowners.

Locate Septic

State-rostered septic pros, straight from official sources.

A free directory of state-rostered septic pumpers and installers — with the contact detail each state actually publishes (phone, business email, or an official status lookup) pulled straight from state rosters, organized by county so a homeowner can find a state-recognized contractor nearby.

Well Water Data

Well drillers, plus straight answers on testing.

A free directory of licensed well drillers and pump installers built from state licensing records, paired with plain-English guidance on how to test and treat private well water — which the EPA does not regulate for private wells.
