CarbonArmor Installation in Cortland, NY

Mike has been living in his Cortland, NY home for 6 years, and since moving in he has noticed a leak in the corner of his basement due to a small crack.  He has a sump pump already installed in the area, but wants to seal the crack to ensure that no further damage will be caused, especially as he is looking to finish the basement.  Mike decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that our CarbonArmor system would be the best options to permanently waterproof Mike's basement.

Cold and Damp Basement and Crawlspace Made Warm and Dry in Cortland, NY

Charles was concerned about the condition of his home. It was built in 1950 and over the years, the walls had become wet and the existing sump pump was not able to handle all of the water that accumulated. The bedrooms above the crawlspace area were uncomfortably cold. He wasn't sure where to turn for help until he saw a TV commercial for Woodford Brothers.

 

After contacting us, our Customer Care team scheduled an appointment with Design Specialist, Joe, to assess the situation. Joe took the time to listen to Charles' concerns and proposed a solution that would effectively waterproof his basement and encapsulate his crawlspace.

 

The team, led by Foreman Matt, arrived promptly and got to work right away. They installed Silverglo insulation and TerraBlock insulation, along with Cleanspace in the crawlspace. This would prevent moisture from seeping through and causing any more damage to the walls.

 

To tackle the issue of the sump pump not being able to handle all of the water, the team installed a SuperSump Plus with a drop-down duct. This effectively controlled the water coming from the crawlspace and prevented it from flooding the basement area.

 

Lastly, the team installed a Sanidry Sedona to regulate the humidty and maintain good air quality throughout the home.

Throughout the entire process, the team was friendly, courteous, and respectful of Charles' home. They kept the job site clean and tidy and made sure to explain everything they were doing in detail.

 

Charles was thrilled with the results. He no longer had to worry about a wet basement, cold bedrooms, or poor air quality in his home. Thanks to the expertise and hard work of the Woodford Brothers team, Charles could finally enjoy peace of mind in his home.
