Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Sidney, NY, reached out to us after discovering a crack and bow in their basement wall, concerned about the potential for further damage. In the before photo, notice the visible cracking that indicates foundational instability.  To address this, we implemented the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, as you can see in the after photo. This solution permanently stabilized the wall, preventing further deterioration. The system transfers the load using steel corrugated panels and a reinforced frame, providing the homeowner with a durable and reliable foundation repair. 

In Boonville, NY, a homeowner noticed sagging basement support beams. As the before photo shows, this presented a serious concern for the structural integrity of their home. To address this, we implemented our SmartJack System. As the after photo demonstrates, the SmartJack system effectively stabilizes crawl space beams, restoring the floor to its original level and eliminating unwanted bounce in the floors above. Our proven solution ensures a sturdy support foundation, leveraging engineered fill for even distribution of weight, as well as galvanized steel components for long-term durability.

Cindy has been living in her Holland Patent, NY home for 20 years.  Recently, she has become increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of her home as the metal support beams in her garage are significantly rusted.  As her bedroom is located above the garage and consequently held up by the beams, Cindy wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and decided to contact Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that the SmartJack system would be best suited to help repair the damaged beams. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.  Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames.  SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 lbs and are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance.  With the SmartJack system in place, Cindy can have the peace of mind that her home is permanently stabilized. 

The coldest room in this 1880's built home had sloping floors. By insulating the walls and encapsulating the crawlspace, the outside air is now blocked from coming in. Using our SmartJack system we stabilized the floors. The SmartJack system is made up of glavanized steel beams and jacks. The jacks are capable of supporting up to 50,000 pounds each and are strong enough to be used to adjust and lift the floors back up.  

In Utica, NY, the homeowner faced a serious problem with a bowing wall, which, left unchecked, could have led to further damage. Notice in the before photo how the wall is unsupported. We expertly installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring the permanent safety of the foundation wall. In addition, we encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace, transforming it from a moisture-prone area into a dry, protected environment as seen in the after photo. With Woodford Bros., Inc., the focus is always on reliable, long-lasting solutions for your foundation concerns.
