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.

I met with Hunter, a sale rrep, for Foundation Recovery System regarding foundation problems with my driveway. Hunter displays excellent customer service and patience. I was so impressed with his knowledge and how well he explained things because this was new to me. Hunter took his time to look at the cracks and how uneven my driveway was. It wasn't aesthetically pleasing to me, and Huntrer assured me that his company has strong track records of satisfied customers. He also took time to discuss the warranty and the backing of another company. I felt Hunter was very honest withI didn't feel any pressure Lastly, I was offered a couple of discounts and that was awesome! I'm so excited to have Foundation Recovery System repair my drywall that 's aesthetically pleasing to me! By the way, I would highly recommend Hunter and Foundation Recovery System! Thank you!

Foundation Recovery Systems is an elite company in an unreliable industry. Of the three companies we called to get a quote, Foundation Recovery Systems was the only company to show up on time, give a reasonable quote, and make us understand how they would fix the issue. We are delighted with all the work their team did for us!

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.

Nick Mata was here today for a check under our house. He spent a good amount of time under the house and then was very thorough in going over our issues. He explained those issues and the remedy very clearly. We feel we can trust his opinion based on his apparent knowledge. I have already recommended him to another homeowner today. Thank you for your help. David and Ginger White
