Before & After Photos

Whether years old or brand new, sometimes a dry basement becomes a wet basement for the very first time after a very heavy rain. That was the case in this home owned by the same family for years. Our Triple Safe Sump system will back you up and provide peace of mind that your basement will be dry and stay dry. The Triple Safe system even works in conjunction with sub slab depressurization radon mitigation systems. If your basement is wet call us for a free estimate today. 

John has been living in his New Berlin, NY home for five years. Over the last year, he has noticed issues with water entering his basement due to cracks in the foundation. Knowing that he wanted to finish the basement in preparation for selling the home, he decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. After an initial inspection of the property, our Design Specialist suggested a combination of systems to repair the cracks and waterproof John's basement. 

First, the impermeable FlexiSpan system will be used to seal the foundation crack.  Next, WaterGuard, is a FrenchDrain system that is installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing.  The system then collects any water that seeps through the foundation walls, and drains it to the sump pump. In turn, the TripleSafe Sump Pump provides the ultimate protection against water intrusion, pumping 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona will be installed to eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air. With this combination of systems, John can rest assured that his home is permanently waterproofed and his property value is protected. 

In Yorkville, NY, the homeowner faced a persistent issue with a wet basement, worrying about potential damage. As shown in the previous photo, the basement needed a reliable solution to stay dry, especially during heavy rains. At Woodford Bros., Inc., we equipped their basement with a TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard system. The TripleSafe system assures protection against pump failures and outages, while WaterGuard's discreet design effectively channels water away. As the after photo demonstrates, the basement is now secure, demonstrating our commitment to long-lasting, quality solutions. 

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.
