   BFR — Basement Foundation Repair — foundationcrackpit.com
   DESIGN LANGUAGE: "THE SEVERITY TRIAGE"

   Foundation work is an assessment discipline before it is a repair trade, so
   the whole site is organised like a triage chart: a graded severity band
   (hairline -> structural) runs through the hero, services are stacked in
   weighted urgency tiers instead of uniform cards, and every band is separated
   by an angled wedge that reads as a crack line running across the page.

   Brand palette is derived from the real BFR logo and must not be re-hued:
     maroon  --charcoal #280610
     orange  --orange   #C5520A   (darkened for 4.5:1 on white button text)
     amber   --amber    #FF8534
     crimson --warn     #B0083F
