Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Dexter, NY, a homeowner faced a challenge with their 100-year-old home - an unlevel crawl space that was causing issues with their entire home. As you can see in the before photo, the space was in dire need of support. That's when we stepped in. Our expert team installed the SmartJack system, a robust and reliable solution. Notice in the after photo how the SmartJack system permanently stabilized the crawl space, providing peace of mind and reinforcing the home's integrity for years to come. 

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. 

This home in Clayville, NY had a couple of cinderblock columns that had shifted and failed causing the floors inside the home to be uneven and sloping. The door always wasn't operating correctly. Woodford Brothers lifted everything back into place and installed some 6x6 posts with a base below frost and Y-Bracing. 

Catherine has been living in her Rodman, NY home for over 11 years. Within the past couple of years, he has been growing increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of the foundation as the stone foundation has been bowing in. Wanting to repair the issue before it led to foundation failure, Catherine decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. Following an inspection of the home our Design Specialist suggest the installation of our SmartJack and EverBrace systems. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to the foundation. Once installed, SmartJack posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Plus, due to its design, the SmartJack system can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. In turn, with EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.  With these systems in place, Catherine can rest assured that her home's foundation is permanently stabilized and no longer at risk for failure. 

Tim was beginning to notice some cracking and loosening stone in the basement walls of his Chaumont, NY home. Wanting to fix the basement walls before the foundation failed, he decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. Following an initial inspection, our Design Specialist suggested the installation of the EverBrace system to stabilize Tim's foundation walls. 

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls. With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels. By choosing to install the EverBrace system, Tim can rest assured that his home and foundation are permanently stabilized.
