What we do not do

• Do not publish fake reviews or fabricated contractor profiles.
• Do not claim SC LLR credentials we do not hold (we are a referral directory).
• Do not perform concrete leveling, polyjacking, or pier work — work is by independent licensed contractors.
• Do not provide structural engineering opinions. Significant differential settlement, cracked footings, or suspected sinkhole conditions require a licensed SC professional engineer (PE) — not a slab-lift crew alone.
