I have been working with Waterproof Solutions and Steve for over 30 years, and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my waterproofing needs. Over the years, he has worked on four of my own properties, including straightening walls, installing French drains in two homes, and putting in sump pumps where needed. Every job has been handled with honesty, professionalism, and a deep level of knowledge. Steve is extremely upfront and knowledgeable — he really knows his stuff and has likely seen just about every water issue imaginable. Whenever I meet him at a property with water concerns, I always learn something new. Sometimes the solution is as simple as improving gutter systems to move water away from the house, and other times it’s much more involved, but he always knows exactly how to diagnose the problem and fix it correctly. What I appreciate most is his honesty. You can truly trust what Steve tells you — he doesn’t oversell, and he explains things clearly. As a realtor, I have seen a lot of contractors, and I confidently recommend him to my clients and use him for my own properties without hesitation. God bless you, Steve, and thank you for all you’ve done for me over the years. Your experience, integrity, and dedication make all the difference.

I wanted to take a minute and thank you for the help your team provided in restoring my basement. I was shocked at how much my foundation had shifted. Your knowledge of the foundations and the work required certainly made me more comfortable that everything would be back to normal. It was so helpful when you explained what had happened and then what work would resolve the problems. Your team was very professional and efficient in completing the work. These days, it is hard to find a contractor who is as knowledgeable and ethical as you.

I cannot offer a higher recommendation for Stephen Burton of Foundation Rescue STL, both personally and professionally. I am a practicing attorney. I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Burton in the context of residential foundation and structural matters, and have relied greatly, without reservation, on Mr. Burton’s expertise and his honesty and integrity in providing opinions. In working with him, I have observed firsthand the depth of his technical knowledge, the care with which he approaches each evaluation, and the professionalism he brings to every engagement. In my experience, Mr. Burton possesses a rare combination of practical field experience and the analytical discipline required of an expert. His work is methodical, well-documented, and grounded in sound engineering and construction principles. Just as importantly, he is able to communicate complex structural concepts in a clear, accessible manner for attorneys, judges, and juries without sacrificing accuracy or nuance. What distinguishes Mr. Burton, however, is not simply his expertise, but rather his personal investment in the people affected by foundation failures and structural defects. He approaches each matter with a genuine sense of responsibility, recognizing that these cases often involve homeowners facing significant financial and personal hardship. That perspective informs the care he takes in his work and his commitment to ensuring that the facts are developed honestly and completely. In my experience, he is not an advocate for one side or the other; rather, he is an advocate for getting the technical truth right, which is precisely what the justice system requires of an expert. Mr. Burton is dependable, responsive, and unfailingly professional in his interactions with me, counsel, clients, and opposing parties. I have never hesitated to retain or recommend him, and I will continue to do so. I give him my strongest possible endorsement, both personally and with respect to the services he provides through Foundation Rescue STL.

I have been a Realtor in Jefferson County, Missouri, for 35 years. I have known Stephen Burton for most of those years and have consistently referred him and his waterproofing company to my clients. One thing I can confidently say is that his passion for his business is second to none. He is honest, reputable, and highly knowledgeable. Over the years, I have learned so much from him and have carried that knowledge with me throughout my career. There is no one else in the industry with Stephen’s integrity and honesty who is willing to offer this level of training and guidance. His passion for educating homeowners — and even those who may one day become his competition — truly sets him apart. I would love to see our industry continue to gain knowledge and insight from him and his staff.

I would like to congratulate Stephen Burton on opening his new “Foundation Rescue School”? Stephen has been my friend, teacher and mentor in the foundation repair industry for more than 15 years. As an engineer, home inspector, real estate investor and advisor to the St. Louis real estate community Stephen has been my “go-to-guy” for any difficult foundation repair situation. Stephen has the perfect combination of excitement for the industry, exceptional experience and compassion for people to be the founder and director for his “Foundation Rescue School”. Stephen’s school will change people’s lives and provide a new generation of much needed, trained, experienced and trustworthy professionals for the foundation repair industry!

We have had the privilege of working alongside Stephen from Foundation Rescue Training Center (Waterproof Solutions) on multiple foundation repair projects over the years, and we can confidently say he is one of the most knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuine people in the industry. His attention to detail, integrity, and commitment to doing things the right way has always stood out to us. He takes tremendous pride in his work and truly cares about helping homeowners and fellow contractors understand the importance of proper foundation repair. We have no doubt the training course will be incredibly valuable for anyone who attends. Through years of hands-on experience, he has developed a deep understanding of foundation issues, repair methods, and the real-world challenges contractors face. More importantly, he has always been someone willing to share his knowledge and help others learn and grow. What makes him unique is his willingness to take the time to explain the “why” behind the work — not just the process, but the reasoning and principles that ensure repairs are done correctly and last long-term. That kind of knowledge is invaluable in this industry. We are excited to see him launch Foundation Rescue Training and believe it will be a tremendous resource for anyone wanting to better understand foundation repair. With his level of professionalism, expertise, and integrity, attendees are in for an outstanding learning experience.
