Advertising disclosure

This site is supported in part by display advertising. Advertising is sold and served by third parties and its presence never influences what we write, how we rank anything, or which sources we trust.

The emergency, insurance, mold and health sections carry no advertising, and neither does any page marked as requiring a professional. Those are the pages people read while their house is wet or their claim is at stake, and monetising them would compromise the only thing this site has to offer.

Advertising slots are reserved at fixed sizes so that loading an advertisement never shifts the page content. No advertisement may render above an emergency warning, above the First 60 Minutes checklist, or above a safety verdict.
