Disclaimer

Hombriva is an information website. Please read this before you act on anything you find here.

Last updated: [Month Day, Year]

In an emergency, don’t read articles. Get help.

If you smell gas, see smoke or fire, or notice sparking wiring, get everyone out and call 911 and your gas or power company. For flooding, a burst pipe or structural damage, stay safe first and call a licensed professional.

1. General information only

Everything on Hombriva is published for general information. We try to keep it accurate and useful, but a website can’t see your house, your wiring, your pipes or your roof. What works for one home can be wrong or unsafe for another.

2. Not professional advice

Hombriva is not a contractor, electrician, plumber, roofer, engineer, inspector, architect or attorney, and nothing here is professional advice. Reading an article doesn’t create a professional relationship with us. For decisions about your home, talk to a licensed professional in your area.

3. DIY work carries real risk

Home projects can cause injury, property damage or worse. Some jobs, such as electrical work, gas lines, structural changes, working at height and roof work, are risky enough that they should be left to licensed professionals. If you do any work yourself:

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the right safety gear.
  • Turn off power, water or gas before starting where it applies.
  • Be careful in older homes, which may contain lead paint or asbestos.
  • Stop and call a pro if a job feels beyond your skills.

You do any project at your own risk.

4. Costs and time estimates

Prices, ranges and time estimates in our articles are general guides. Real costs depend on where you live, the materials, the condition of your home and who does the work. Get written quotes from licensed, insured contractors before you commit.

5. Codes, permits and local rules

Building codes, permit requirements and licensing rules differ by state, city and county. We can’t cover every location. Check with your local building department before starting work that may need a permit.

6. Products, brands and links

When we mention a product, brand or company, it’s for information and isn’t a guarantee or endorsement unless we clearly say so. Our pages may link to other websites. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy or practices.

7. Guest and sponsored content

Some articles are written by outside contributors, and some are sponsored. Opinions and claims in those articles belong to their authors. We review submissions against our guidelines, and sponsored posts are labeled, but we can’t verify every statement a third party makes. Our Editorial and Sponsored Content Policy explains how this works.

8. Accuracy and updates

Products, prices, codes and best practices change. We update articles when we can, but some content may be out of date. If you spot an error, please tell us.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Hombriva [and its owner, [Your name or company]], along with our writers and contributors, aren’t liable for any injury, loss or damage that results from using this website or acting on its content. You use the site and its information at your own risk.

10. Changes to this page

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
