Woodford Bros., Inc. Before & After Photos

When homeowners in Canton, NY noticed the foundation of their newly purchased home had some issues, they knew taking action quickly would be crucial for peace of mind and safety. As you can see in the before photo, the signs of foundation distress were evident. Our team stepped in with PowerBrace - a reliable solution designed for long-term stability. The after photo showcases a secure, reinforced foundation, ready for years of memories in their new home. Our commitment at Woodford Bros. is ensuring homes are not only repaired but transformed into safe havens for families. 

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. 

The kitchen of this 1900 built Oneonta, NY home is above a crawlspace. The owners noticed that most of the home was built on a stone foundation that is in good shape but the kitchen seemed to be built over what was once a porch or an addition. This part of the house didn't have great supports and was open air so the floors were cold. They decided to renovate their kitchen but wanted to improve the supports and the air quality below it first. They found us after an internet search and upon reaching our website, scheduled their free estimate. Expert Design Specialist, Andy, provided the couple with a full inspection and options to improve their quality of life and bring them peace of mind. The project involved installing new supports, adding sheathing around the space, adding insulation, and encapsulating the space with Cleanspace with a Sanidry Sedona as a finishing touch. Now they can build their dream kitchen while knowing it's well supported and the air is warm and healthy.
