How to Sell Foundation and Basement Leads
How to sell foundation and basement leads to contractors who buy by territory and trade. Sign the contractor, lock the area, then send only the jobs they do.
Every company in this market generates its own leads and sells foundation work beside many other trades. Most sell exclusive, real-time leads, and none advertise shared ones, so exclusive is the starting offer.
The opening is in the detail. Only one company names foundation job types such as crack repair, underpinning, slab jacking and waterproofing. Capture the job, the property type and the problem in the homeowner's words, and contractors can filter for the work they want.
Sign contractors before buying traffic, have each fund a balance, agree the territory and the return rules on the first call, and keep an overflow outlet for leads in areas or job types nobody claimed.
Who buys foundation and basement leads
The buyers here are contractors and the multi-trade lead companies that serve them. Only one company in this directory both buys and sells.
| Buyer | What they buy | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation and basement contractors | Exclusive, real-time leads in their ZIP codes or radius, often with one contractor per trade per territory. | Lock the territory and the job types at signup and have them fund a balance before the first lead. A contractor who only does waterproofing will return every underpinning lead. |
| Contractors who want booked appointments | Pre-scheduled appointments with decision makers, which a few companies here sell per appointment or in monthly packages. | Juiced distributes the web lead. Booking the appointment is separate work, so price and promise only what you deliver. |
| Multi-trade lead companies | Leads and calls from publishers, affiliates and partner sites, which several companies here buy alongside their own traffic. | Expect an application about your traffic and questions about consent. Keep a source sub ID and the consent record on every lead. |
The foundation and basement lead buyer directory lists every company we found that publicly buys or sells foundation and basement leads, with what each one says it does. It is a research starting point, with no contact details.
What you are selling

| Product | Companies offering it |

| Real-time leads | 9 of 11 |
| Inbound calls | 5 of 11 |
| Live transfers | 2 of 11 |
| Booked appointments | 3 of 11 |

Start with exclusive real-time web leads, since most companies here sell them and none sell shared. Inbound calls are offered by nearly half the companies, but Juiced distributes web leads, so calls need separate call tracking.
What to capture and screen for
- The job: inspection, crack repair, underpinning, slab jacking, waterproofing or concrete work.
- Residential or commercial property.
- The ZIP code, checked against the contractor's territory before sale.
- A problem description in the homeowner's own words, and photos when they have them.
- Homeowner or decision maker, since one company credits tenants.
- Timeline and readiness to hire, which several companies screen for.
- A consent record and a source sub ID on every lead.
The field-by-field version is on the foundation and basement lead distribution page.
Building it, in order
-
Sign contractors before you build traffic
Find buyers first. Get each contractor's ZIP codes or radius, the foundation jobs they do and the ones they refuse, and how many leads a week they can handle.
-
Get every contractor to fund a balance
No free trial leads, no promise of a number of jobs by a date and no invoices. In Juiced the contractor funds a wallet before leads arrive and is charged as each lead is delivered.
-
Agree the territory and lock it
Several companies here check whether an area is open before signup, and a few give one contractor per trade per territory. Decide your own rule, write it down and tell the contractor how many others, if any, cover the same ZIP codes.
-
Write the return policy before the first lead
Cover bad numbers, duplicates, out-of-area addresses, wrong trade and tenants, and whether a homeowner who chose another contractor counts. Several companies here say different things on different pages, so keep one version and send it to every contractor.
-
Build the lead type around the job
Use service_type, property_type and problem_description, and mark the fields a contractor needs to decide as required for ping. Keep contact fields for the post.
-
Generate only where a funded contractor is waiting
Point traffic at the ZIP codes your funded contractors cover. A waterproofing lead from an area nobody claimed has nowhere to go but overflow.
-
Let several contractors bid when territories overlap
Where more than one contractor covers an area, let them bid above your minimum and the highest bid wins the lead in seconds, while each lead still goes to one buyer.
-
Have overflow ready
Leads nobody takes go to your own marketplace, where the price falls until someone buys with Buy Now or a standing Buy Order.
-
Record the campaign on every lead
Store a source sub ID on each lead. When a contractor reports tenants or wrong-trade requests, the field shows which campaign sent them.
What makes foundation and basement different
- Every company in this market generates its own traffic, and every one sells foundation work as one trade among many.
- Exclusive is close to universal: most sell exclusive leads and none advertise shared or aged leads.
- Territory is the product. Several companies check availability before signup, and a few lock one contractor per trade per territory.
- Job detail is rare. Only one company names foundation job types, so a seller who captures them stands apart.
- Several sellers are hybrid agencies that combine per-lead fees with ad or website management.
Common mistakes
- Buying traffic before a contractor has funded a balance in that area.
- Selling every foundation, basement and concrete request as one lead type, so contractors pay for jobs they do not do.
- Promising exclusivity on the sales page while the agreement says something else.
- Handing out free trial leads or promising a number of jobs by a date instead of asking for a funded balance.
- Leaving the return policy unwritten until the first dispute over a wrong-trade lead.
- Having no overflow plan for leads in ZIP codes no contractor has claimed.
- Not setting expectations on the first call about how soon leads start and what a lead is.

Frequently asked
Should I sell foundation leads exclusive or shared?
Most companies in this market sell exclusive and none advertise shared, so exclusive is what contractors will compare you to. If you share, say so up front and tell each contractor how many others receive the lead.
How do I separate foundation, waterproofing and concrete leads?
Make service_type a required ping field, or build one lead type per service, so each contractor filters for the work they sell. Only one company here breaks foundation work into job types, so this detail sets you apart.
What return reasons do foundation sellers accept?
A few credit duplicates, out-of-area leads and wrong-trade leads. One excludes leads the contractor did not call quickly or where the homeowner chose another contractor.
Do contractors here expect contracts or minimums?
Most companies say there is no long-term contract. A few set a minimum term, a minimum monthly volume or an appointment package minimum. A funded balance gives you the commitment without a long contract.
Can I sell foundation calls and appointments through Juiced?
Juiced distributes web leads. Nearly half the companies here sell inbound calls and a few sell appointments; those need separate call tracking and scheduling.
What do foundation and basement leads sell for?
No prices are published here. Sellers rarely publish them, and what a foundation and basement lead sells for depends on whether it is exclusive or shared, a web lead or a call, the geography, how fresh it is and how many buyers want it. The pay-per-lead pricing guide shows how to work out your own floor from cost and let buyers bid above it.
Does Juiced handle foundation and basement calls or live transfers?
No. Juiced distributes web leads and delivers them by webhook, email or text. It does not track or route phone calls, so if calls are part of your product you need call tracking software for that side.
Selling foundation and basement leads to more than one buyer?
Juiced is lead distribution software for companies that sell leads. Buyers fund a wallet and bid above your minimum, each lead goes to the highest bid in seconds, and leads that miss their first buyer go to your own marketplace instead of being lost.

Juiced puts you in full control of your leads, routing, and revenue, so you can automate, optimize, and grow without chaos.
