Leaky Concrete  Foundation Crack in Cooperstown, NY Leaky Concrete  Foundation Crack in Cooperstown, NY

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.

Cooperstown Basement Needs Repairs Before Home Remodel

Roy was ready to start remodeling his Cooperstown home but there were some basement issues that needed to be addressed first. The block wall was cracking and seemed to be getting worse. Water was also infiltrating the walls and making it's way to the basement floor.  After searching the internet for foundation repair in Cooperstown, he found Woodford Brothers. He called the office and set a date for his free inspection. Our Design Specialist, Chris, performed a thorough inspection and immediately reported his findings. A combination of PowerBraces and CarbonArmor strips were used to protect the walls from further deflection. The PowerBrace system is made up of galvanized steel beams that are installed on walls that have more deflection and once in place, they can be adjusted to straighten the wall over time. The CarbonArmor strips are installed on walls that are starting to crack. Once in place, the wall is guaranteed to stay in place. The Waterguard system was used to prevent ground water from making it's way onto the basement floor, and that is guaranteed for the lifetime of the structure. When the installation day came, our installation crew kept the home owners informed every step of the way and cleaned up when the job was finished. Now that the foundation of this Cooperstown home is protected from further damage and water intrusion is controlled, the process of remodeling the home can begin.

Bowing Basement Walls in Cooperstown Office Building

The foundation wall was bowing in this office building in Cooperstown, NY. There were noticeable horizontal cracks all the way down the wall. This problem can occur on any foundation wall weather it be commercial or residential, block or poured concrete. Water can pool against the side of any subterranean foundation wall. When it rains heavily or when the snow melts, the ground becomes heavily saturated. The mass of water that pools inside of the soils directly around the building puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the wall.. This is because the soils directly around the home or building have been dug up when the building was constructed and then back filled. Which means those soils are less dense that the undisturbed soils on the property. Our PowerBrace System will not only hold the wall in place permanently, in some cases the wall can be slowly pushed back to it's original position over time. Our CarbonArmor system can also be used to hold the wall in place in some situations. This system is 10x stronger than steel. Using the power of carbon fiber the special straps are permanently adhered to the wall using a specially designed epoxy that penetrates deep into the wall so it will hold the wall in place permanently, guaranteed. If your basement wall is pushed in, schedule your free estimate with us today.

Cold Floors in Cooperstown, NY

This Cooperstown home was built with a crawlspace beneath it. The owner of the home is retiring and plans to live out her golden years here. The only problem is that the floors were terribly cold in the winter and the home was not energy efficient. She heard of Woodford Brothers from a trusted friend who told her about how Woodford Brothers provides free estimates. When she called our office, the Customer Care department asked her a few questions. They set her up with an appointment with our Design Specialist to perform a thorough inspection and provide a free quote to accomplish the work that she needed done. During the inspection, the Design Specialist found a lot of pink fiberglass insulation that had fallen out from between the joists. This is a common occurrence in crawlspaces, especially when there is nothing to stop humid air from entering the space. When the moisture is high in a crawlspace it creates a myriad of problems. For one, mold grows which creates unhealthy air to breathe in the home. The moisture will collect in the fiberglass insulation which makes it heavy and causes it to fall down. It also, causes the wooden flooring system to rot which leads to uneven and bouncy floors. Insulating between the joists does not provide enough protection from the frigid air during the winter months. The proper way to fix and protect a crawlspace is to stop any water intrusion, insulate the walls and dirt floor, encapsulate the space to stop outside air from getting in and adding a proper dehumidifier to regulate the moisture in the air. When it comes to crawlspaces, we are the experts. Our Design Specialist will give you options and provide a proposal on the same day as your inspection.
