Before & After Photos

Vincent, a resident of Liverpool, NY, had been living in his home for two years when he began to notice substantial deterioration of the foundation and basement walls.  Recognizing the urgency of addressing this issue before it worsened, he reached out to Woodford Bros. to request a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  

Upon conducting an initial assessment of the property, our team determined that the most effective solution for the permanent stabilization of the property would be to completely rebuild the foundation wall, and install our PowerBrace system.  To further ensure the stabilization of the property, additional measures were taken, including the installation of a sump pump and WaterGuard, designed to keep the basement dry. 

Following the comprehensive reconstruction of the foundation wall and the integration of our waterproofing systems, Vincent was left with a secure and permanently stabilized basement, giving him the peace of mind that such issues would not reoccur in the future.   

Sealing rock basement foundation in Fulton 

This home in Fulton, NY was built half way through the 19th century. The owners had concerns because their floors were sloping. There was an undersized beam to hold the floors up but it wasn't strong enough to carry the weight. The home owners found Woodford Brothers on the internet and called the office. Our Customer Care department scheduled an appointment with one of our Design Specialists for a free estimate. The Design Specialist went to the home to take measurements and design a solution. Once a plan was in place our installation crew made quick work of installing our SmartJack system to lift the floors back up. Now that the SmartJAck system is installed, the flooring system is stable for good and the home owners have peace of mind. 

Garage Foundation & Wall Repair in Syracuse, NY 13219

    Amanda of Syracuse, NY noticed that her garage block foundation was cracking and settling. She was in need to get professional help. Amanda told Woodford Bros., Inc. that, “I kept hearing everyone I know say, ‘If you’re going to get anything done with your foundation, call Woodford. No one else can do what they do for the same quality for price.’ They were absolutely correct.”

    She called the office and set up a Free Estimate with the Customer Care Center. Amanda said, “Every time I had a question and had to call the representatives were kind and understanding while providing me with prompt answers.” Shortly after, one of our experienced design specialist went out to meet with Amanda. He told her exactly what needed to be done at a reasonable price to save the foundation and structure of her garage. Amanda was very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the design specialist. She told us, “Tim was great. He took great care in explaining each charge and why it was necessary. I knew that through every step he was looking for ways to keep the job within budget without sacrificing quality.”

    The foreman and his crew arrived and the project to repair Amanda’s garage began. The area to be repaired was jacked, rigged and lifted utilizing Woodford Bros., Inc. basic standard operating procedure. The garage was lifted and supported by 4’’ increments, the foreman determined how much support was necessary to safely support the structure. Then the soil on the outside of the foundation was excavated and filled back in after the garages foundation was appropriately stabilized by the foreman. A conventional mortar was laid using cement blocks. The crew formed and poured strip footings with re-bar to reinforce the footings. A drainage discharge line was buried to keep water that can affect the structure in the future away from the foundation.

   Once the project was completed and all went as planned in the proposal Amanda was beyond happy with the results. She told Woodford Bros., Inc. “Wayne and the guys were fantastic! They were clean, respectful, and VERY hard working! They showed up each morning ready to put in some hard work, and BOY did they! The crew was careful to clean up any mess they made throughout the work process and each day they left they ensured that the property was secured and tidy.”

    Overall the project went extremely well and we loved working with Amanda! There’s no doubt that Amanda is enjoying her safely secured garage foundation, “Every employee I had the privilege to work with was amazing. From the admin folks to the Install guys it was a very professional and worry free experience.” Woodford Bros., Inc. team is pleased to provide peace of mind to Amanda.
