Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Katherine has been living in her Watkins Glen, NY home since 2012.  Since moving in she has noticed that the wooden beams supporting her home were causing sagging on the main floor and needed to be replaced.  To make sure the home is structurally sound and to fix the foundation before adding on an addition, Katherine decided to contact Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that the SmartJack system would be the optimal solution to repair the sagging beams. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging or undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.  Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames.  By choosing to install the SmartJack system, Katherine is ensuring that her home's structural integrity is permanently secure.

Becky from Waterloo, NY was concerned about the deflection and the stair step cracks in her block foundation walls. The basement was also leaking water during heavy rains and snow melts. Determined to provide a safe and dry environment for her children to enjoy, Becky decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. after seeing a commercial on TV. Becky called the office and was connected to our Customer Care team, who promptly assisted her in scheduling a free estimate.  Todd, one of our experienced Design Specialists, met with Becky to assess the foundation problems and discuss potential solutions. After a thorough inspection, he recommended the installation of CarbonArmor to address the stair step cracks and deflection in the block foundation walls. This innovative solution would stabilize the foundation and prevent further damage. In addition, Todd proposed waterproofing the basement using our trusted Waterguard system. This would effectively address the leaky basement, ensuring a dry and livable space for Becky's family. Todd explained that with a secure foundation and a waterproofed basement, Becky could eventually finish the basement area without any concerns about structural integrity or moisture issues. Impressed with the expertise and professionalism of our team, Becky agreed to move forward with the recommended solutions. The project was assigned to one of our skilled foremen, Hunter, who led the crew responsible for the installation. Over the course of the project, Hunter and his team diligently installed the CarbonArmor system, reinforcing the foundation walls and providing the necessary support. They also implemented the Waterguard system, effectively addressing the basement leaks and redirecting water away from the foundation. Upon completion of the job, Becky was thrilled with the transformation. The foundation was secure, and the basement was now waterproofed and ready for future use. Becky expressed her gratitude for the company's prompt response, professional service, and ability to create a safe and dry space for her children to enjoy. We are dedicated to ensuring that homeowners like Becky can enjoy their homes with confidence, knowing that their foundations are secure and their basements are protected from water damage.

Since she loved her home and cherished the memories she wanted to keep living in the home. She knew it was time to call the experts.

Tim showed how we can fix foundation walls with our Shotlock system. First a rebar grid is constructed, framing out all windows and other obstructions. We then use a high pressure hose to spray the perfect mix of concrete into the grid. Once complete, the concrete is smoothed over and there is a beautiful new, reinforced, basement wall. Lue now has peace of mind that her home will last for many more years to come.
