About Foundation Recovery Systems
Foundation Repair, Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation and Concrete Lifting Experts
History
In 1992, Jeff Martin Sr. founded Foundation Recovery Systems when he noticed gaps in the foundation repair industry. He wanted to find a more efficient way to repair foundations instead of a full replacement. His son, Jeff Martin Jr., Joined the business in 2007, and by 2010, business had skyrocketed due to a year-long drought. In 2018, FRS partnered with Groundworks, the nation’s leading and fastest-growing foundation and water management solutions company and immediately expanded their service coverage. FRS is a 2022 St. Louis Top Workplace winner, and is an A+ rated BBB accredited business. Their nearly 400 employees and 30 years of experience in the industry have led to thousands of repaired homes.

The Foundation Recovery team did a great job in my basement. Trenton M, Matthew B, and Kinkade D were all very professional. The team lead, Trenton, kept me informed throughout the construction and installation and took time to explain how the system would work as well as gave details about each step of the process and patiently answered all my questions. I highly recommend their service.

I'm so glad we called this company. Brad B came out and did a thorough inspection of our property and was honest. That's hard to find these days. He told us we didn't need them and told us what we would need to be looking for and when to worry. His visit was very reassuring. Brad B. was exceptional and deserves 10 stars!

Saw a FB ad and clicked the link. My drive wat was cracking and sinking. Consequently one side of my garage was sinking and cracking our facade. A very nice and professional Man came out took some quick measurements and gave me a run down of what all was wrong. Gave me a few options. I did not want to take a chance on not doing the garage or the driveway so we did both. We used their financing and it made it really easy. We caught ours earlyish on not too much integrity loss in either. It was not as expensive as what I looked up on the internet. Work was done very quickly first the pillars for the house then the foam stuff for the driveway. Came out way better than expected. 10 out of 10 highly recommended if you need repairs.

Jeremy Higgins was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I appreciated the thorough inspection he did and the time he took to explain the options we have for the major repair issues we have in our crawlspace that flooded a few months ago.

Noah, Bryce and Eli were amazing. From Noah explaining everything and being so kind and patient, to Bryce and Eli doing an amazing job. All three of them went over and beyond by being polite, patient, and never acted like they were hurrying to get to another job. The job was done very professionally and I am so happy with the results. I'm so proud of the area now and can't wait to show it off.

Foundation Recovery System Certified Field Inspector Doug Helfrich set the bar high for foundation inspectors. I called 2 other companies out to my Mom’s house to inspect her foundation due to a couple of cracks and a small puddle of water on the slab floor from the water main & basement spigot in the foundation’s front stem wall, and got 2 bids. Then came Doug..!! Doug throughly inspected the whole basement, from all 4 stem walls to the foundation slab floor. Doug is a professional, he’s extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in detail from small cracks inn the slab to the water leaking in from the front slab spigot, to things to keep an eye on, and/or future repairs that ‘may be needed’. What started out as a call that I expected to get another foundation quote for $10,000.00 – $15,000.00 turned out to be only a $200.00 fix to repack and reseal the water main & spigot in the front stem wall. Mom’s foundation was still solid. Talk about good news stress relief … if you need Foundation Repair this is the ONLY company to trust & call: FOUNDATION RECOVERY SYSTEMS & ask them to send Doug Helfrich…!! And tell them *SuperFan Jan told you call. Stephen SuperFan Jan’s Son *This MLB season is SuperFan Jan’s 68th Consecutive StL Cardinals Home Opener

Cory and Dakota did a fabulous job! After they arrived, we walked around the house, and they explained what they would be doing. They worked quickly and efficiently. When it came time to lift the house, they did it in small increments and let us check to make sure the windows closed properly and the existing drywall cracks did not change in size. They were patient and answered all our questions. Many thanks for all your work and help!!!

I recently had basement waterproofing and some foundation slip jacking done because of flooding from three straight days of rain last fall. Jeremy helped get me going on what I needed to ensure there was no further damage. Devan and his crew took less than 2 days to fully seal my basement, install wall bracers and a new sump pump. I then had Trent and Mike help slip jack and even out several spots around my property and it looks and feels amazing. Everything was explained before it was done and any questions I had were immediately answered. Having foundation cracks, sinking and basement damage was an incredibly stressful event but these guys made it feel easy. Absolutely recommend these guys if you need efficient and quick work done on your foundation!
