Woodford Bros., Inc. 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. 

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. 

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. 

The apron of the garage on this Herkimer, NY home was built with decorative stamped concrete slabs. The home owner always knew it was cracked and settling but it was getting worse. He found Woodford Brothers as the result of a web search for concrete repair. He scheduled his free estimate which led to expert Design Specialist, Joe, to pay a visit to the home to assess the situation. Joe thoroughly measured and inspected the driveway coming up with the solution to fix the problem once and for all and present his findings on the same day. Joe took his time in explaining exactly what the problem was, how we would fix it and how much it would cost. They agreed on the final plan and scheduled the installation. The day of installation the home owner was very pleased with his experience with the crew, led by Richard. They made quick work of installing the PolyLevel and returned the slabs back to their original positions. Now the home owner has peace of mind that his concrete worries are solved for good.
