Top Notch Residential & Commercial Concrete Leveling & Lifting Services in Red Creek, NY

Todd has lived in his Adler Creek, NY home for 11 years.  Over the past couple of years, he has noticed that the concrete apron leading into his garage was sinking and settling, affecting both his quality of life and the property value of the home.  Wanting to repair the issue, and also knowing that he might want to sell the home after retiring someday, Todd decided to contact Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that the PolyLevel and NexusPro systems would be the best solutions for repairing Todd's damaged concrete.  

PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.  In turn, NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility, protecting the concrete from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.  With these two systems in place, Todd can have the peace of mind that his concrete is permanently stabilized, and his property value and quality of life are protected.

A CMU block foundation in Red Creek, NY had a horizontal crack that runs across the entirety of one wall. This is a tell tale sign the the wall is succumbing to hydrostatic pressure. Water building up on the outside of the wall essentially turns it into a reverse swimming pool. That is a tremendous amount of weight and pressure for a block wall. The horizontal crack is a classic sign that the wall is having difficulty holding the weight. What can be done? One great option is the CarbonArmor wall reinforcement system. Our Design Specialists will perform a free inspection and provide a same day proposal for exactly how many straps will be needed for a particular wall.  These amazing straps are made of carbon fiber and when combined with a specially engineered epoxy become 10X stronger than steel. Our expert installers will first grind the wall in the location the straps are to be installed in order to expose the original block and clean any debris. The epoxy is applied and penetrates deep into the concrete block for a bond that will last for as long as the wall stands. The strips are applied and once cured the wall is guaranteed not to move any further so you can have peace of mind that your foundation is secure.

A beautiful Victorian era home had some unlevel floors. Upon inspection, one of the main beams had begun to sag at some point. The flooring system was help up by some original log posts and some additional lally posts had been installed to carry some of the weight. Over time the lally posts had begun to rust and bend under the weight of the home. Woodford Brothers can replace any beams and posts using our SmartJack system. They are galvanized steel and are rated for over 50,000 pounds per jack. They are installed using an engineered fill so that they will never settle. They are also adjustable, so once they are installed they can be used to lift the floors back up. The SmartJacks come with a warranty so you can rest assured you will never need to worry about sagging floors again. 

A home owner in Red Creek, NY began to notice cracks in the foundation wall of her 1983 built home. Over the course of the 10 years after they became noticeable, the cracks seem to get larger and more began to form. The blocks appeared wet, especially after a heavy rain or snow melt. Overall the basement felt damp and she became concerned not only for the health of her foundation, but also herself because of the negative affects of mold. Our design specialist paid a visit to the home to inspect the cause of the issues. He found that water builds up against the foundation and seeps into the hollow cores of the block. As the water pools up against the foundation it puts a tremendous amount of pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, against the foundation. This leads to cracks in the wall and can continue to get worse if not addressed. Our design specialist provided a same day proposal to along with a detailed presentation to explain each solution to address any questions or concers. Woodford Brothers can address everyone of these problems to restore peace of mind, improve the quality of life and maintain property value. To address the hydrostatic pressure, we install CarbonArmor strips that adhere to the wall and become 10x stronger than steel once cured. Our Waterguard system will keep the walls drained and control the water in conjunction with a sump system. Our amazing Sanidry Sedona Air system will not only dehumidify the air, it also filters it. This ends all concerns about mold and completely eliminates the damp smell and feeling so often associated with basement space.
