Robert has a beautiful home built on posts on the lake in Smyrna. He noticed that the home had started to lean. This was caused by water flowing underground during heavy rains. He had not heard of anyone that could make this type of repair until he heard about Woodford Brothers from his carpenter who had seen our sign. He called our office and was greeted by our Customer Care department. An appointment was arranged with our design specialist to provide a free estimate. On the day of the inspection our design specialist came up with a great plan to straighten the home using a system of cables and reinforce the home with Y Bracing. The added step of installing a drainage system called EZ Flow was installed on the exterior of the home to help divert water from the home and prevent future problems.

Our crew, led by Bill, arrived at the home in Smyrna and they were able to make the repairs to stabilize the home.

The floor in Kevin's new home in Smyrna, NY was uneven. Things on shelves would rattle when you walked by them and cracks were forming in the drywall. It was clear that something was wrong with flooring system in the crawlspace below. It was a vented dirt floor crawlspace. This is the old way of building a home on a crawlspace. Some still use this method. The problem with this old crawlspace thinking is that humid air gets trapped in the crawlspace and condenses all over everything making everything wet. Including the wood floor joists and beams. In the case of Kevin's house the humidity level was consistently high over the years before he moved in so the main street beam was weakened and began to rot. Luckily he called Woodford Brothers to come take a look at the situation. Our design specialist taught Kevin all about the science of the crawlspace. Not only did we fix what was wrong, we encapsulated the entire space, insulated the crawlspace walls and floors, sealed up the crawlspace vents and installed the incredibly efficient yet powerful Sanidry Sedona air system.  The musty smells were gone. The floors felt as strong as concrete and the crawlspace is now protected from future problems. Peace of mind restored. 

If you would like us to give you a free assessment of your crawlspace, call us at 1-315-696-8971. Our Customer Care Department will set an appointment with one of our expert Design Specialists.

You are ready to sell your home but your radon test came back positive. Now what? That is the situation Meg found herself in when she and her husband decided to sell their 1800'a home in Earlville, NY. The EPA recommends installing a radon mitigation system whenever your radon test result is above 4 pCi/L. Radon is a gas that is derived naturally from uranium that decays deep in the soil. The Uranium turns to radon gas which can make it's way into your home through the basement. The radon gas carries particles called radon "daughters". These particles are harmful to humans because once they enter the lungs, they attach themselves and can form cancer cells.  After a quick search on the internet, Meg found Woodford Brothers. She chose us because consistency and honesty are important to her when selecting a company to fix her home. Our Design Specialist performed an inspection of her basement to decide the best way to mitigate the radon effectively. We installed a sub slab depressurization system which creates a negative pressure under the basement slab floor. This system redirects any gases in the soil out of the home and into the air above the house so that the air in the home is safer to breathe.  If you have radon in your home, book your free estimate with us today.

Having sinking and settling concrete on your property can lead to a few different problems like tripping hazards and pooling water. This home owner in Smithville Flats, NY has a concrete walkway directly next to his home against the foundation. Over the course of time the sidewalk has settled into the soil below causing the concrete to slope toward the home's foundation. This causes water to pool in the area next to the house which means ice build up in the winter but also water flowing toward the home's foundation during heavy rains or snow melts. That can lead to a whole new set of foundation problems. Luckily the PolyLevel foam injection system can fix this problem simply and quickly. By injecting a specially engineered foam below the slab that starts out as liquid and expands at a controlled rate, we can lift the concrete back up to it's original position or slope it away from the home and it's foundation which alleviates all the issues associated with this problem.

Byron has been living in his Norwich, NY home for over 11 years. Within the past year, he has grown increasingly concerned about the health consequences of living with elevated radon levels in his home. Wanting to look into removing the radon from his home, he decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. 

Each radon mitigation system design varies depending on the structure of the home. Homes are generally categorized according to their foundation design. The existence of a basement, crawl space, or slab all determine the proper mitigation system needed. In most cases, radon forces need to be redirected from the "stack effect", this is done by a hole drilled into the slab, crawl space, or surrounding earth to create a suction point. The gas is then redirected through a PVC pipe that is connected to that hole, the pipe is then connected to a fan at the top of the home for proper ventilation. Finally, to resist gas entry, cracks are sealed using a urethane caulking compound. With an effective radon mitigation system installed at his home, Byron can rest assured that his home and health are permanently protected from radon gas.
