Before & After Photos

Kelly's new home was perfect for her but there were some issues with the foundation. When the home was constructed part of the footer was not below the frost line. This can create problems caused by the freeze/thaw cycle. When the soil surrounding the footer is saturated with water in the colder seasons it is liable to freeze. Since water expands when it freezes it causes frost heave which has great potential to damage the home's foundation. Our solution to this problem is to excavate that part of the foundation, install specially engineered drainage called EZ Flow then install a completely inorganic insulation material called Silverglo that will prevent that part of the footer from being exposed to the damage-inducing ice. The soil is then placed back against the house so that it can be reseeded. Kelly now has peace of mind that her foundation is protected from the ever-present force of nature that is frost heave. 

Marietta has been living in her Oneonta, NY home for nearly five years. Over the past few years, she has noticed issues with dampness in the basement and wanted to resolve the issue before it caused more damage so she decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. After an inspection of the basement, our Design Specialist suggested the installation of the WaterGuard, SuperSump Plus, and CleanSpace systems. 

WaterGuard is a French drain system designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. The system then collects water that seeps through the basement walls and drains it to the sump pump. In turn, the TripleSafe Sump Pump provides the ultimate protection for wet basements, pumping up to 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. Finally, the CleanSpace system is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is perfect for unfinished basement walls. Additionally, CleanSpace protects against humidity and mold growth. With this combination of systems, Marietta can rest assured that her basement is permanently waterproofed. 

Louis's home in Mohawk, NY had a wet basement problem. The problem was the water was on one side of the basement but his sump was on the other. What to do in this situation? We run a feeder line. You can see the spot where we put a pipe into the floor. Here's what Louis had to say about working with Woodford Brothers. 

"The professionalism and level of communication of all the company staff made me comfortable to stay the course with you from the sales presentation to the last sweep of the broom."

Allison purchased her forever home in 2013 in Cooperstown, NY. After the first couple of years in the house she noticed that cracks had formed in the poured concrete foundation wall. As some time passed she started to see water coming through the cracks and pooling on the floor. Since Allison relies on her basement for storage space, this was a problem that needed to be addressed and fixed properly as well as permanently. After typing "foundation crack repair" in her Google search bar, she found Woodford Brothers. She learned that we provide free estimates so she picked up her phone to book an inspection with our Design Specialist through our Customer Care department. On the day of the inspection our Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection followed by a detailed presentation that explained exactly what causes the problem, exactly how we will fix it and exactly how much it will cost. She learned about our FlexiSpan leak repair system. FlexiSpan is permanent solution for leaky cracks in a poured foundation. A channel is created that leads to a sub slab drainage system. The epoxy that is used is designed to expand and contract along with the wall through seasonal changes. We are so sure that this solution will last that it comes with a 25 year warranty. Now Allison has peace of mind that the basement of her forever home is leak free.
