Privacy Policy

Short version: the calculator on this page runs entirely in your browser. Your unit choice, job type, and ZIP code never reach our servers unless you decide to request a quote. Everything below covers the rest of it: cookies, the contact form, and what happens if you click through to a partner. Last updated 2026-06-17.

What actually reaches us

Two things land on our end. Fill out the contact form and we get the name, email, and message you typed, so someone can write back. Click through from the calculator to request quotes and the partner network handling that request gets whatever you enter on their form directly, not funneled through us first, so check their own policy for how they handle it.

Cookies, ads, and that banner on your first visit

This site runs cookies for two jobs: seeing which guides actually get read, and serving ads through Google's network. Visitors from the EU, UK, or Switzerland get a banner asking to accept or decline the advertising and analytics cookies before either gets set; declining still lets you run the calculator and read every guide normally. Change your mind later by clearing this site's cookies in your browser. For opting out of personalized ads more broadly, Google's own settings live at adssettings.google.com, and www.aboutads.info lists the other ad networks that offer the same option.

What the analytics actually show us

Google Analytics tells us which pages get traffic and which ones sit unread, in aggregate. Nobody on our end sees a list of individual visitors or what any one person specifically looked at. Google publishes a browser add-on if you'd rather opt out of that measurement entirely.

Your rights, and what we do with your data

If you live somewhere with a privacy law giving you the right to see, fix, or delete what a site holds on you, the EEA, UK, California, and a growing list of other states all qualify, reach us through the contact page and we'll act on it. We don't sell anything submitted through our forms. It goes only to the vendors that keep the site running, hosting, analytics, ad serving, and the form-delivery service, and only as far as needed for that job or to comply with the law.

About kids

This is a plumbing cost-estimate site aimed at homeowners, not children. We don't knowingly collect anything from anyone under 13, and if we ever learn we have, we delete it.

If any of this changes

The date at the top moves whenever a real change gets made to this policy, not for typo fixes. Questions about any part of it go through the contact page.
