Timber Shelton from Foundation Recovery Systems demonstrated an excellent degree of knowledge, professionalism, and compassion with detailing the work necessary for waterproofing my basement. After surveying my basement, Timber constructed a thorough plan for waterproofing my basement and invested considerable time into explaining the process for completing the project. Timber showed genuine patience with me by encouraging and addressing my questions and concerns. Timber provided extensive education on the causes and sources of water entering my basement. I am very grateful for the immense time, effort, and consideration that Timber willingly devoted to me and my home. Timber truly respects his position and the people that he encounters.

Had Jeremy come out! He was great!! The thing I liked the most about him, he didn’t try and force us to get something we didn’t need! He was honest and his integrity stood out when he told us nothing that his company does would be a solution for our small problem! I would use this company again and request Jeremy as the person to come for my inspection!

Alonso was our Service Technician for our first round of maintenance and I could not give him higher praise. He was so professional yet personable. We will definitely be requesting him for our next round.

Mike Drebes was fantastic! He came out to assess our sinking back patio and cracks there and in our (also sinking) driveway, walkway, and threshold. He explained well but succinctly what was leading to the issues and the available solutions on the market and how their polymer system was the best and permanent solution, as opposed to a quick fix. Mike worked diligently to get perfect measurements and also took a look at our foundation from the basement to assure us that we didn’t need to pay for more than we actually needed. Talk to Mike Drebes if you need anything regarding foundation/cracks in surrounding concrete slabs/sinking soil.

I have never in my life had a service man in my home like Owen Watson. He was full of information for me and went over and beyond of what his duty was to get done. I appreciate his kindness, his intelligence, his way of making me understand, his friendliness and I could go on and on. I will ask for him to come to my house whenever I need help from Foundation Recovery. He deserves an award! God will surely bless this young man!!

I had to have repair on my foundation and I was nervous about who to choose for my company, since there is so many to choose from. I chose foundation recovery and I am so pleased that I did. I want to mention these men’s names and thank them again for their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to answer any questions and let me see how they even work and explain it. From the very beginning of paperwork with Peter Fisher And all the crew Joseph Woodien,Chance Spratly, and Andre Stewart I was only shown, kindness, and professionalism, I saw these men work very hard repairing my home and I want to thank them very much. I recommend them very highly.

Terry Bentz drove at least an hour and a half to take a look at the foundation of my home. I feel bad about that when I could have probably just him one picture and could have diagnosed the problem. Mr. Bentz knew what he was doing and did an excellent job explaining certain concerns and potential fixes. He was honest and said his company doesn’t offer the certain fix and recommended another. Good communication and a great company.

Had another well-known foundation company come out and give me a quote, wasn't happy so I had Foundation Recovery Systems come out. Todd did a great job walking me through the process and letting me know what actually needed to be done and not sell me other things like the other company did. The crew did an awesome job leveling the driveway and filling in all the cracks.
