Steel City Foundation Works is a local marketing and booking service. Homeowners reach us, and independent contractors carry out the inspections and repairs, hiring their own crews. So we work with contractors directly and pass along people who want crew jobs.
Foundation and waterproofing contractors
We send booked inspections, real homeowners with real cracks, bowing walls and wet basements, to contractors who turn up when they say, price honestly, explain the cause, and leave the basement clean.
Before any referral we ask for current HICPA registration with the Pennsylvania Attorney General, general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and an understanding of permits with the City of Pittsburgh and the surrounding municipalities. EPA Lead RRP certification matters for work in pre-1978 homes.
Crew members
The contractors we partner with look for people who can dig and backfill safely, install piers, wall anchors and carbon fiber, cut and pour concrete for interior drains, set sump pumps, and work carefully in tight basements and crawl spaces.
Experience helps, a good attitude on a hot trench day helps more. Expect to need a valid driver's license, reliable transport and basic hand tools. We are glad to pass your details along.
Getting in touch about work
Email hello@steelcityfoundationworks.com with "Contractor" or "Crew" in the subject. Tell us your experience, the parts of Pittsburgh and the county you can cover, and the best number to reach you. A résumé is optional. Calling (412) 643-4360 works too.
We never charge anyone a fee to apply or to be considered. If someone asks you to pay to "get on a list" in our name, it is not us.
