Before & After Photos

Cindy has been living in her Holland Patent, NY home for 20 years.  Recently, she has become increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of her home as the metal support beams in her garage are significantly rusted.  As her bedroom is located above the garage and consequently held up by the beams, Cindy wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and 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 best suited to help repair the damaged beams. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and 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.  SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 lbs and are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance.  With the SmartJack system in place, Cindy can have the peace of mind that her home is permanently stabilized. 

In Holland Patent, NY, a homeowner reached out to us because their basement doubles as a workout space and needed reassurance of structural security and water resistance. The photo before illustrates where foundational vulnerabilities were a concern. Our team resolved the issue using CarbonArmor straps to support the bowing foundation walls and installed BrightWall panels to safeguard and brighten the walls. Additional solutions included the TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard drainage for dependable waterproofing. A SmartJack system was also implemented to stabilize and strengthen the floor above. Our work ensures the homeowner enjoys a secure environment for years to come. 

Notice in the before photo that the foundation walls in a Glenfield, NY, home were bowing and cracking, risking the integrity of the entire structure. Our team at Woodford Bros., Inc. utilized the innovative EverBrace Wall Restoration system to stabilize these weak points permanently. The engineered steel corrugated panels and foam created a steadfast support, successfully transferring the load and protecting against future damage. Rest assured, with this robust foundation repair, the homeowner now has a safe and durable base, reinforcing our commitment to providing quality, long-lasting solutions. 

The coldest room in this 1880's built home had sloping floors. By insulating the walls and encapsulating the crawlspace, the outside air is now blocked from coming in. Using our SmartJack system we stabilized the floors. The SmartJack system is made up of glavanized steel beams and jacks. The jacks are capable of supporting up to 50,000 pounds each and are strong enough to be used to adjust and lift the floors back up.  

In Utica, NY, the homeowner faced a serious problem with a bowing wall, which, left unchecked, could have led to further damage. Notice in the before photo how the wall is unsupported. We expertly installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring the permanent safety of the foundation wall. In addition, we encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace, transforming it from a moisture-prone area into a dry, protected environment as seen in the after photo. With Woodford Bros., Inc., the focus is always on reliable, long-lasting solutions for your foundation concerns.
