So far, our experience with Foundation Recovery Systems has been superb. We contacted the company after seeing a picture in a ValPak that looked just like a problem in our home with a crack above a door. We were able to make a free inspection appointment easily online to take place 36 hours later. We received a call the day prior to validate a couple of things about the home and the morning of the appointment, Patrick not only called me to tell me he was on his way, but dropped a pin so I could track his arrival time. Communication leading up was good and only improved in our time spent with Patrick. In spite of a drizzly day, he spent all the time needed to conduct a thorough inspection, very patiently walked us through foundational issues that can arise, and answered all of our questions. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable representative to interact with and feel confident all future interactions with the company will be the same. Thank you, Patrick!!

Alex and Harley went above and beyond. Alex communicated all day with me. They had some issues that delayed them but stayed late, completed all the work, cleaned up the previous work (which wasn't the best), and made everything look brand new, even better than the previous work!! Alex and Harley are highly recommended from me. I would ask for them anytime!! Take care of these guys. Great crew!!!

Cody did a very thorough inspection of our house and I feel confident in the information he relayed to us. He gave us 4 different repair plans and discussed the pros and cons of each one. He made it much easier to make a decision on this large problem/project we have on our hands.

We recently utilized the services of this company to stabilize our foundation with work done inside the basement. The initial contact to give us an overview of work needed and an estimate of repair was done by Nathan Heidenfelder, who spent a lot of time explaining everything and answering our questions. Our work crew consisted of Travis Clark (crew leader–phenomenal), Brian Eskridge, Justin Geigling, Tyler Davies, and this was a hard-working crew! Tyler called every morning to say they were on there way; they always showed up on time and were professional and courteous. They covered surfaces ahead of time, to minimize all the dust, and cleaned up the works site after the job was finished. It wasn't an expense we had counted on, and it was not a small amount, but as my husband likes to say-'you get what you pay for'. Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone needing their services. One company we contacted for an estimate–Woods Basement Services–didn't even return our call…..

Mike came to our home to repair two large slabs of concrete. Mike was very professional and gave a clear understanding of what he would be doing and, what we could expect once he was done. Mike was very detail oriented. He ensured we were happy with his work once completed. Would recommend over and over again. Thank you!!!

Travis Drake came by to look at my foundation. He walked me through every step of the process and how he was determining if there was an issue. He made sure I understood what was happening. He was very upfront that the foundation issues weren’t a major problem but something to watch and see if it gets worse. I appreciate the openness and he wasn’t pushy about trying to sell me on unnecessary work. Thanks Travis!
