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.

Trevor was very thorough and shared a lot of details and recommended improvements that would be beneficial to the preservation of my home. He explained exactly what he was doing as maintenance of my system and also explained the different components. I also appreciate the before and after photos he shared that better helped me understand the importance of the maintenance service appointments. Good job! Thank you Trevor!

The crew from Moberly, Byron B, Kris B, & Kaden D, spent the past several days in my basement. They did an awesome job, even with the temperature around 8° in the mornings and highs only in the teens. Byron was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and communicated with me throughout the entire time. He's very personable and I can not recommend him and his team enough.

2 years ago I had FRS install 7 piers. This year they had to come out and adjust the piers. The crew Joseph Woodiel, Chance Spratley, and Andre Stuart were spot on in their communication and professionalism. They were patient with my questions, and helpful as I made requests and asked questions. Having to do this a second time was not desired, but Joseph and his team made it more painless than ever anticipated.
