From the folks I spoke with in the office to Jeremy H. who came out to do the inspection to the crew who did the work, everyone was friendly and professional. I received several emails and texts leading up to the appointments, preparing me for what to expect, as well as phone calls the mornings of the work to let me know the crew was on their way and when they'd arrive. After the inspection, I was given options about the repairs, and it was all clearly explained. A few weeks after the inspection, I had several piers installed around my foundation. For two days, Brandon C., Dylan E., and Darrion R. worked so hard and communicated in a clear and friendly manner with me as I pestered them with questions. FRS really made repairing my foundation as painless a process as possible. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Nick Mata came to give us a proposal and was very professional. Our animals even enjoyed his company also. Normally they bark a lot at strangers/ company but the animals did not with Nick. I believe that says a lot that alone. Looking forward getting our foundation improved. Thank you so much Nick Mata.

I am more than pleased with the work done on my home foundation by the Foundation Recovery crew, Josh Eaton, Da Shawn Kendrix, and Lueck Wright. They were arrived when they said they would, explained in detail the work they were going to do, and did it in a very professional manner. And they finished the job in one day. This was not an easy job. They had to dig 3 holes that were 3' square by 6' deep in rocky soil to get to the bottom of the foundation. And they did this digging by hand ! Very professional crew and they deserve a lot of credit for their hard work. They are a real asset to the company.

Brandon and his team did a great job with our foundation repair. He kept me informed about what was happening and was open to answering my questions. When he needed to change something from the plan he let me know and explained in details. I would have him come back if I ever needed anyone again.For the garage floor leveling Jeremiah, Jake and KD were equally great. Friendly, efficient and kept me informed as to what was happening. I would have them return if needed – but here's to hoping my problems are resolved and nothing new comes up.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Mata from Foundation Recovery Systems for a crawl space inspection, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience. Nick's expertise and professionalism really stood out throughout the entire process.When Nick arrived, he immediately got to work inspecting my crawl space, using advanced equipment to detect any moisture or mold issues. He explained everything he was doing and made sure to take pictures to show me exactly what was going on. I was impressed by his attention to detail and thoroughness.As we went through the inspection, Nick took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. He was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. It was evident that he truly cared about my home and my family's health.One thing that really impressed me was Nick's ability to explain complex crawl space issues in a way that was easy to understand. For example, when he detected moisture in one area of my crawl space, he showed me how the conditions were conducive to mold growth and explained how this could affect the indoor air quality of my home. He also showed me pictures of mold growth in other crawl spaces and how encapsulation prevented similar issues in those homes.Throughout the inspection, Nick provided practical advice on how to address any issues that were identified. He explained the benefits of encapsulation and recommended a few options based on my specific needs and budget. He also provided tips on how to maintain my crawl space moving forward.Overall, I highly recommend Nick Mata and Foundation Recovery Systems for anyone in need of a crawl space inspection. Nick is a true professional who is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his work. Thank you, Nick and Foundation Recovery Systems, for an outstanding experience!

FRS did a super job, taking only two days to excavate, drive pilings and backfill/concrete. Chris Meyer, Brandon Saunders and Brayden VanCleve worked tirelessly to get the foundation repair completed, even though the concrete floor was really tough. We’re glad to have this finished so that we can progress to some needed drywall and door fixes. Thanks, FRS!

Kevin Creed came to my home to perform the 1st year of annual maintenance on a project that was done previously. He did high quality work, he answered all of my questions, and he was extremely detail-oriented. He had no problem multitasking. He was quick thinking, accurate, and thorough. FRS is fortunate to have him on their team.

Recently we had Foundation Recovery Systems come out and do some work in our basement. The guys did an amazing job! Our basement looks fantastic and not a drop of water has come in since! Chris, Cliff and Zion were the crew that came out and they were professional, quick and extremely easy to work with. They took care to pick-up the construction mess and their communication was fantastic. The project even got done faster than expected. I appreciate the work they put in and would 100% recommend them to anyone.
