Woodford Bros., Inc., a leading basement waterproofing and foundation repair construction company, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued Patent US 2018 A1, entitled "Apparatus and Method for Straightening and/or Pushing a Wall." The Patent covers the design and manufacturing of Woodford Wall Pushing System WWPS for the treatment of bowing walls or sheared walls.
