Facebook and Instagram ads for foundation inspections, basement waterproofing and crawl space repair.
Homeowners often notice warning signs such as cracks, sticking doors and damp basements long before they call. Education-led ads that explain those signs, followed by a free inspection offer, move them to act.
Foundation repair is high-ticket, so even a modest number of qualified inspections can produce strong returns.
Videos explaining cracks, sticking doors and moisture, leading to inspection offers.
Spring and rainy-season campaigns.
Humidity and air quality messaging.
Visitors who read about signs.
Payment plans for large repairs.
I manage both, so here is an honest view of where each channel fits.

Customer value, service area, capacity and what you have tried before.
Meta Pixel, Conversions API and lead quality feedback.
Built around “free foundation inspection” or a better offer for your market.
Weekly changes based on cost per qualified lead, not clicks.
Plain-English monthly reporting and next steps.
Yes, education-led campaigns perform well.
No. Clear, factual messaging builds more trust and avoids policy issues.
Spring rains and freeze-thaw periods drive demand.
For most local businesses I suggest starting at roughly $1,500 to $2,000 a month in ad spend for one main offer, adjusted for your market size and customer value. Management is a separate flat fee.
Send me your website and where you are now. I will look at your account or plan personally and tell you what I would fix first, even if the answer is that Facebook Ads is not your next step.
