What this service is

Southern Ocean Foundations and Waterproofing, a trade name of Swell Ventures LLC, is a referral service. We introduce homeowners to contractors. We are not a home improvement contractor. We do not perform, supervise, inspect, manage, or guarantee any work, and we are not a party to any agreement between you and a contractor.

What we verify, and what that means

Before a contractor receives a referral, we confirm their New Jersey registration status against the Division of Consumer Affairs public register, and we collect a certificate of insurance. We record what we checked and when.

Those checks describe a moment in time. Registration and insurance can lapse. A check is not a recommendation, an endorsement, a warranty of workmanship, or an assurance that any contractor is suitable for your job. You should satisfy yourself independently — ask for current documents, ask for references, and get more than one quote.

Your agreement is with the contractor

Any contract, price, schedule, workmanship, warranty, permit, or dispute is between you and the contractor. We do not hold funds and we take no percentage of any job. If something goes wrong with the work, your remedies are against the contractor.

Prices shown on this site

Every figure published here is a typical range for this area. It is not a quote, not an offer, and not an assessment of your property. Only a contractor who inspects your home can tell you what it needs or what it will cost.

No diagnosis

Nothing on this site is a structural, engineering, or professional opinion about any specific property. Do not rely on it as one.

Your information

By submitting a request you're asking us to pass your details to contractors so they can contact you. See the Privacy Policy.

Using the site properly

Don't submit false information, don't submit requests for property you have no connection to, and don't use the service to harvest contractor details. We can decline or withdraw service.

Limits

The service is provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for the acts, omissions, work, or conduct of any contractor, or for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing here removes rights you have under New Jersey consumer protection law.

Governing law

New Jersey law governs these terms.
