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.

Foundation Recovery Systems quickly resolved my issue with water ingress to my garage by professionally installing a system to redirect the water to keep it from entering my garage. Josh Eaton, Mason Tinney, and Lueck Wright performed the work quickly and politely, and expertly addressed all my concerns. They did a great job cleaning up after the work was concluded, and walked me through what was done.

The reason for the 5 star review is for the professionalism and kindness shown from Shae and Hayden. Their communication was awesome and there were many times during the project that something could have gone wrong but they always found a way to go the extra mile. The communication in other areas of the business definitely needs improvement but Foundation Recovery Systems is lucky to have Shae and Hayden.

Jamie and Luke were great! They did a wonderful job keeping everything clean and kept us apprised of the work being done as it progressed. They were considerate of my plants, which because of their concerns I was then able to easily transplant.

The salesman Justin Sheehan was excellent. He answered all my questions and was very thorough in his inspection of my settlement problems. He offered multiple options for my budgeting. The work is scheduled for several weeks from now, and I'll leave another review after that.

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 have a solid concrete underground saferoom that was leaking due to drainage issues. The supervisor that came to my location was extremely knowledgeable but made me worry because of how large I was envisioning this project. He described the jackhammering through the floor, removing old concrete one 5 gallon bucket at a time, the drain tile, new rock, new concrete, all in all some serious physical labor. Josh Howard, Ayden Land, Derrick Bushnell, Robert Smith, and Josh Zike showed up and resolved my issue in one single working day. Not only am I extremely satisfied with their quality of work and work ethic, but my land has gotten about 6 inches of rain in the past week and the saferoom remains bone dry. Thank you all so much for making extremely quick work of what I considered a major problem!
