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.
Jim built his home in Delhi, NY in 2013. He began to notice that the support posts around the perimeter of the structure had began to shift and settle. After searching for foundation repair companies on the internet he found Woodford Brothers and saw that we provide free estimates. He spoke with our Customer Care department to schedule his free estimate. Our expert Design Specialist, Mike, provided Jim with a same day proposal to replace the posts and an installation date was scheduled. One of our experienced crews led by Foreman, Devon, installed new posts. Now Jim has piece of mind that his home is stable and his property value is maintained.
