Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This recently purchased home in Arkville, NY had a wet basement. The new owner was aware of the problem when she purchased the house and intended to fix the problem with plans to use the basement space and possibly finish it in the future. Some foundations are built with a monolithic slab, meaning the footer and the slab floor are poured as one piece. Typically, we would break concrete away along the foundation wall perimeter to expose the footer in order to install Waterguard. In situations where doing so would cause damage the foundation we have an alternate solution. It's called DryTrak. The system is installed along the perimeter of the foundation wall but instead of being installed under the slab and on top of the footer, it's installed on top of the floor using a strong epoxy and a non organic plastic drainage system. This system is used to reroute any water that would enter the space at the floor/wall joint to a sump system. Our expert Design Specialists and Installers are trained to know when breaking up the floor would cause damage to a foundation. Our DryTrak system comes with the exact same lifetime dry basement guarantee as our Waterguard product does. Now this home owner has increased her quality of life by gaining more space in her new home.  

In La Fargeville, NY this home owner wanted to maintain the value of their home in preparation for putting the home on the market. After finding Woodford Brothers online, he decided to schedule his free estimate. The day of the appointment Design Specialist, Joe, asked the home owner show him the problem and explain what he was hoping to accomplish. Joe learned the the basement floor is often wet and it needs to be dry for good. Upon the inspection, Joe gathered information. He took careful measurements and notes in order to show the home owner what he had found. The two of them sat at the kitchen table so that Joe could explain exactly what the problem was, exactly how we fix it and what it will cost. They agreed that full perimeter Waterguard with a Triple Safe Sump would alleviate the basement water problem for good. The addition of the Sanidry Sedona would ensure that the humidity would be under control and the basementy smells would be gone. The day of installation came and the crew, led by Hunter, made quick work of installing the system while maintaining communication with the home owner each step of the way to ensure a remarkable experience. The basement is now dry and the value of the home is maintained.

Louis's home in Mohawk, NY had a wet basement problem. The problem was the water was on one side of the basement but his sump was on the other. What to do in this situation? We run a feeder line. You can see the spot where we put a pipe into the floor. Here's what Louis had to say about working with Woodford Brothers. 

"The professionalism and level of communication of all the company staff made me comfortable to stay the course with you from the sales presentation to the last sweep of the broom."

Susan has been living in her Redwood, NY home for over 11 years. Over the past couple of years, she had begun noticing issues with water coming into her basement. Wanting to maintain her home and property value, she decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. After an initial inspection of the basement, our Design Specialist suggested the installation of several of our basement waterproofing systems including WaterGuard, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the PowerBrace system. 

WaterGuard is a French drain system that is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. The system then collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to the sump pump. In turn, the TripleSafe Sump Pump provides the ultimate level of protection, pumping up to 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. Finally, the PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provides the potential to straighten walls over time. With this combination of systems installed, Susan can rest assured that her basement is permanently waterproofed and her property value protected.
