Our home had several sidewalk sections that had sunk at different rates, leaving uneven edges that were trip hazards. Bryce and Brandon of FRS briefed me on their approach to leveling the walkway. They worked hard and carefully, and their experience showed in how good the sidewalk now looks, with trip hazards eliminated. While the service is not inexpensive, communications, process and work went well, with an end result that was better than I anticipated.

Foundation problems suck, let's be honest. Cody Shipley walked us through the options and helped us find something that worked with us.Furthermore, I'm impressed at the hoops the crew installing it had to go through. Our neighborhood streets are being worked on by the city and they had to deal with our street potentially getting closed without notice. They had a plan if it came to that, but thankfully it didn't.

Thank you to the great team at Foundation Recovery Systems. Our front stairs were pulling away from the house due to a sinking sidewalk and we were finding cracks in our driveway from voids under the surface. Todd came out and walked us through the quote, answered all of our questions. Today we had a great experience with our installers Bryce and Brandon. They were very thorough in walking through the work process and the finished process looks great. The plugs where the poly were inserted look seamless, everything looks great. Polite, punctual, professional, excellent work!
The lively city of Des Moines and neighboring counties of Dallas, Jasper, and Polk are decently removed from water. The area isn’t completely dry, though, as summers bring high humidity and frequent thunderstorms. The wet summers and bitter winters can cause freezing and thawing of your soil, putting your basement walls or foundation at risk of cracking.
Soil matters when it comes to your foundation. The topsoil and subsoil in Des Moines are made up of a silty-clay loam. Clay can mean trouble for your foundation, especially if weakened by certain backfill soil put in place during construction. When clay interacts with water, it expands, creating hydrostatic pressure that can cause your walls to bow, leak, or crumble. The moisture can also enter your basement or foundation and create cracking, mold, mildew, and condensation. You might notice a foul smell around your home or even higher energy bills. As outside air seeps in through your crumbling foundation, it can bring unhealthy particles and unstable temperatures from the outside.
You need an expert who can correct these issues at the source, so you never have to deal with the headache again. Foundation Recovery Systems is proud of our local knowledge and years of experience in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and structural solutions.
